How do I continue downloading a game in Steam while playing?
Posted On: May 28, 2015

I have many games on Steam and many more I will buy, but I have a problem and I hope you can point me a solution.


When I download a game, is it possible to launch and play a single player game under Steam and continue downloading others games in the meanwhile?


Steam stops my download as soon as I launch any game, and I am looking for a way to prevent this.


Question from user Drake at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

Global option.


You can now allow downloads during any gameplay from the downloads settings:.


Per game option.


You can now tell Steam to continue downloading updates/games while playing games from your games' properties. Note that this setting is not available for non-steam games, which will always use the global setting.
