So do I NEED to do anything like run LAA on the present Steam release, or will I only need to do such things once I start modding it? Any help appreciated here. Many thanks.

Oh. And is the very latest and 'most preferred' mod the FotRS mod? Cheers.
Hey shipmate:

IMHO, you should run LAA even if your going to run SH4 stock. Somewhere down the line, you'll want to add a mod or megamod and you'll be pulling your hair out trying to figure out why it won't run, like I did! All LAA does is enable the executable to run as a 64 bit and doesn't hurt anything. It's part of my installation routine.

No dumb questions here brother! Just good game play!
