Complicated but it all works
I run the CD issue from Fedora Linux using Wine. No issues with anything, including mods and SH3 commander. It is a pain installing mods and SH3 commander because you have to run patching tools and the like via wine and keep switching between Linux and Windows / and \.
I think there's a Linux howto for the Steam version on the Steam silent hunter III discussion page somewhere.
From memory you have to copy EVERYTHING to do with SH3 out of the .steam folder and run it from a new location on your virtual C drive. I would think somewhere like ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/SH3. Unlike real modern windows Wine does not have a security issue using Program Files (x86) .
You can put SH3 commander where you want under ~/.wine/drive_c , it will ask where sh3.exe is and you have to tell it where in the Wine file structure, e.g. 'c:\Program Files (x86)\SH3'. Don;t forget to modify the sh3 data files as required by SH3 commander.
...I think. Look at the Steam discussions!
