Something is not right with my Mac. Something is wrong with the Mac allowing a program run/process in the background and when minimized.
There is a game I have been playing for years. It is a sports sim game. There is an option to run it in full screen mode, which means I cannot do anything but play the game when in that mode, and then there is windowed mode where I can minimize/maximize, move it around, adjust the size of the screen, etc. I use windowed mode so that I can multitask like browsing the net, or have an excel file open. For years, I have always either minimized it or simple rang a webpage over it, and never had an issue. It has always kept processing my game. For example, when advancing over several days in the game, I would either minimize it or open up the web browser over and it and do my thing. Then a few mins later I'd return and the game would be done advancing through a match or through the x amount of days I asked it to advance through.It has always processed and ran in the background. Never had an issue.
Today when I got back from work, I noticed there was a Yosemite update. So I ran that, completed it and now that game does not process in the background. Every time I pull up a webpage, the processor of that game pauses and waits until I bring the screen back up. It is like the OS is freezing ever background program that I do not have open in front of me. It has never done this before. This game has always ran in the background without any problem.
So, something got switched by the update. What do you think it is? What can I do to fix this?
thanks.
