Why can't i run 2 games at once?
I have a high end pc, (RTX 3060, Ryzen 7, 16 gb of ram) but for some reason i can't run 2 games
but its not because of lag
Because when i try to run 2 games at once for some reason after atleast 7 minutes, one of them closes, i've tried this on any game and one of them just closes and it doesn't even crash, it just closes
anyone know how to fix this?

I can run 2 games at once without a problem and I have GTX 1060 only, I would say your problem is:
1) Low amount of RAM
2) Software.

Windows actually can close an app without asking, if it thinks that you don't have enough RAM to continue working, next time try to close your internet browser before running two games at once

What games are you trying to run?
Are both on Steam? If yes, Steam client is only supposed to run 1 game at a time.

Interesting, but not entirely true. If it were true, I would no be able to idle 5 games at the same time. All 5 are running through Steam Client, all 5 exes are running at the same time.
Lots of people who play idle clicker games will have 2 or more of them open and running at once, switching between the games to perform actions, then let the game idle while they move to the next game window. Lots of people also idle multiple games for card drops at the same time. If Steam was set up to only allow one game to run at a time on the same machine- this would not be possible.
It may depend on the game(s)- they may be using the same resources and the OS is shutting down the background game down to allow all resources to go to the game in the foreground.

They probably changed it at some point. I believe it used to only allow one game at a time.

I idled games from the day I created this account- cheap games from bundle sites, idled for card drops to get the account leveled up to Lvl 10 asap. I haven't idled many games since then, just a few here and there that I know I will never play, but that have card drops. But I know I used to be able to idle around 10 games at once, and used to be able to play 3 idle clickers actively at once (in 2016). I never idled games on my first account, and I still don't. That account is used for modding only these days. I do seem to remember the number of games that can be played or idled at once dropping, but for 6+ years, it has been possible to play or idle more than one game at a time- as long as your machine has the available resources to do so. But some specific games may have limits coded in, though I would have to know which games the OP is trying to run at the same time, so I could research them.

You're on a 3060. That's only 8GB of video memory, on a card that's in between a 2070 and 2070 Super.

It's a mid ranged card compared to last gen, low end in new gen.

Ryzen 7 as well, mid ranged. 16GB of memory at unknown speeds.

The issue is you're maxing your GPU trying to render your games, with vgpu data being offloaded to mainboard memory that's already being utilized for two games and OS plus whatever else you're running.

TL;DR: Your PC can't handle it, it's not designed to.

It was true for Source games, as for the most part they were 'mods' of Half Life. If you had Half Life 'running' with an instance of CS you couldn't launch Half Life 'again' with an instance of TFC.

Running multiple games at once has been the way of trolling Steam into thinking you played more hours a week than hours existed for a long time.

Weekly playtime hours used to be a stat prominently displayed on profiles. There was even a title depending how many hours you had played that week.

Anywhere there's a stat, people will go great lengths (even cheat) to have the biggest number.

It's also the main reason why Steam reverted the decision of showing how many VAC Bans an account had. People raced to be the guy with most VAC Bans.

The games i was trying to run was msfs and war thunder, the reason why i was tryna run msfs was because you have to download the game in the game which is annoying, so i tried to play wt while msfs was downloading
i forgot to include this because i am an idiot

and i have not the best ram, 2133 hz (also its 2, 8 gb ram if that makes any changes)

So it’s not actually “playing” two games but rather downloading one - a CPU intensive task which includes decrypting, decompressing and updating - while playing the other?

there is one thing you totally forget.

kindly go look at Microsoft Flight Simulator GOTY System Requirements. (if this is what you are downloading and going to play)

also, kindly go look at War Thunder System Requirements.

for both games, under Recommended System Requirements, it is stated to need 16 GB of RAM.

War Thunder minimum RAM requirement is 4 GB, but Microsoft Flight Simulator GOTY minimum RAM Requirements is 8 GB.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

since you only got 16 GB of RAM in total, you can't run 2 games where both recommended System requirements is 16 GB of RAM Each.

in other words, you won't be able to run both games at same time at max settings.

my msfs was on medium settings and my wt was on standard settings, so i wasn't really on max settings
