Hmm, so it's just a matter of application "focus" or sth ? Goody, thanks for the tip :) It just pauses stuff when you start a game with steam. It doesn't have any additional checks AFAIK. |

It's just a feature to satisfy the absent minded people who absolutely must have all their bandwidth available for gaming, but would forget to pause their download of the game they just purchased for a ridiculously low price. |

That is good to know, because when I am playing a single player game I couldn't care less about stuff downloading in the background... |

[quote]- you still can't download anything while playing. Alt-Tab is your friend here: Alt-Tab out of the game, resume the download, Alt-Tab back into the game. Works for me... I know it's stupid point but some games like Dirt 2 require you to Alt-Enter to re-enter fullscreen, otherwise the silly thing stays in windowed mode and gives you the poos. Just in case someone has that problem of it not returning to fullscreen like I did. |

Weirdly, when I was running a 4870X2, Just Cause 2 would always start up windowed. A quick Alt-Enter fixed it... but it doesn't do it on my nVidia rigs, nor (for testing purposes) a Radeon 3650-based laptop. |
