Open with another game

[Absølutely Nøt]

Can I have this open with another game at the same time?

I just tried and it is possible to get another game to run while Spirit City is going. How well it will work for you will probable depend on how resource intensive the other game you are running is and the state of your computer.

Also, you might want to pause the music in Spirit City as having lofi running may be a little weird in the other game. (At least it was for me.)

I run this game in the background all the time, but I tend to run a lot of games that don't demand much of my PC. Whenever I run something bigger, I tend to close it just to be safe, but that's not based on any instances of performance dropping.

If you need any other help, like with adjusting resource settings and stuff, I can probably help you. Until I quit in a few months, I'm currently the world champion of running multiple games at once I log-in nearly everyday.

As already stated yes you can but :

- maybe try to lower the fps when offscreen in Spirit city, so you'll end up consuming less ressources.
- it can induce some lags and freezes depending on the game you're launching on the side and how it affects your GPU. I have no troubles with writing and coding with Spirit City but each time I want to video edit, it's russian roulette. Maybe a problem with v-sync, i dunno.
- moving between tabs can lag a lot sometimes but I didn't figure out why and I didn't see a pattern yet.

Yes, you can! However, when you switch focus away from the game, it drops to 30 FPS (this can be configured in the settings), which helps save resources. Keep in mind, this works on the same PC, but if you're using a Steam Deck, you'll need to close one of the sessions.

I was wondering how this worked on Steam Deck, as I just got one! I’ll definitely buy it today and mess with settings to get it right with performance.

I once accidentally ran two games on the Steam Deck at once--terrible idea! Maxwell is right, though, you can't have both a Steam Deck session and a PC session running at once. One time, I turned on my Steam Deck just to check on something, but was mid-game and had completely forgotten. Completely logged me out of my PC session without warning!

I’d be so upset… but I think I accidentally tried this last night and it gave me a warning on a plus side! Though it sucks it happened to you

Oh dude absolutely yes, I play Runescape/Tarkov/Helldivers 2, Im very lucky and have a nice PC, so just give it a go and see how your PC reacts, it should be fine!

Hahaha oh, it warned me, but I just assumed it was going to automatically shut one of the games down while the other booted. After a couple minutes, I started to wonder why I was hearing Hades noises in my Divinity and why it was running so strangely.

Hades 1, I'm waiting for 2 to leave early access. Hopefully, I'll have made a dent in my library by then to justify it...
