Play game while update it?
Like I just want to come home from school, get on steam and find a 6 gb update just sitting right there. So is there any way I can update the game WHILE I am playing it?

The same game? No.
Another game? Yes.

Right, you can't be updating the same game you are playing.

Payday 2, right? To be fair, they did give three days notice that update 100 was going to land today. Major revisions tend to be large downloads and apparently this one is extra large as it involves some kind of rework of the file structure to make future patches a lot smaller. Guess we'll see if that works out.
