And even if it is related, I don't think it should be, because if it is, that's a decision on the part of the programmers, and should at least be clarified. It's an option that keeps turning itself off from time to time.

If I had made a new one someone would point me out to an old thread and tell me research instead of creating new ones.

It the the thread is necro, that's one more reason for the issue to be fixed or clarified. If you make a search on the issue, btw, that's how I got here, you will see that many people are getting this as well. I have been getting this for years on 3 different computer and laptops I have been using. It's so random, sometimes it will work as expected for weeks or months. If that's the issue, I think steam should notify us next time we open steam, that due to our system performance, the option to download during gmeplay was turned off, because it causes problem when you think your stuff is being downloaded and you find out they were not, hours and hours later.

I just want to understand whats probably happening. I'm pretty sure any computer capable of running any game sold on steam is capable of keeping a bit stored in windows register.Īre you guys telling me that Steam is probably turing the option off beacause of my system performance during gameplay and deciding that downloading is not a good idead? And turning the option off for me without any warning? If so, that's all I need to know.

Download games like tell me why
