Running Cookie Clicker AND other games at the same time?

[Arcadoos]

Hey there, old CC fan. I bought the game today and now I'm farming at a slower rate so I want to play FF14. Can I have both games running on Steam at the same time?

yes

Yes? I was able to run borderlands 2 and cc at the same time its more about if your system can handle it. Cookie clicker isnt optimized the best just yet and has memory leaks. It can really lower the quality of other games. But you can always play multiple games at the same time. There are some exceptions like if the two games share the same game engine there might be issues.

yeah you can. You can also have it running on a separate PC on the same network with Steam in Offline mode at the same time as playing a different Steam game on the main PC, but you lose the bonus from Heralds being active if you do this.

Yea they will work together. Dont need to close or do anything with Steam if you play FF14 on steam.
Just go back to desktop/Steam, launch FF14 and should be all good. Only if you have limited CPU/RAM will there be any issues, but you'll have to try to find out.
