Downloading a game whilst playing

I think the checkbox to allow other games to download while playing is new. Before you had to tab out. I'm sure lots of people don't know (and most prolly don't care either) :)

Sorry but the answer is "No" :(

Found it a long time ago. I am in Beta so maybe that why. But it's buggy. Sometimes, even when I allow it to download when a game is running, the check mark disappears, and the option gets reset. Also don't really know where the global settings are. Having to do it for all games manually is annoying.

It's a relatively new option, but it was announced on the beta client patch notes.

If we can configure this behavior per application since at least November, why not allow it to be set globally? All the functionality was there, and the users were demanding it.

I had no idea how to do that, thanks

Don't you wish there was a global setting for this stuff in Settings > Downloads > Allow downloads during gameplay? Yeah, I wish there was too.

I've been using the alternative way since 2007 xD

It appeared in november update. Read the fokken release notes.

Start playing game, tab out then pause/unpause downloads.

You could do this manually since, forever. Just simply start up a game, alt-tab out the resume your download, alt-tab back into the game and keep on playing.

Thanks & Rock on!

It was possible to download updates without enabling this option you had to start game,- downloading stopped and you had to start downloading again.

I already knew that. :)
