Funny as not even that worked on mine. In fact I wasn't even able to get SH3 to work properly until I moved it INTO the (x86) Program Files.

Why have you installed the game into x86 in the first place?

I didn't. I knew the problem it caused so I moved it into its own folder. However turns out that's what was causing me all my problems as one I moved the game folders into x86 the game's been running perfectly.

Once I had done a fresh install into a 'Games' folder instead of the default 86x one, everything works perfect. Did the same the with SH3 Commander and it now works 'hand in glove' with GWX3.

Have now finished-off more than one merchant in storm conditions so watch-out Tommies
