[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1621280"] Try this and let us know the results. Open Activity Monitor (In Utilities in Applications) and go to the CPU tab. Sort by the "%CPU" column so the highest users are at the top. Now start the game and set it going as you usually do. Switch the Activity Monitor window and watch to see if %CPU drops to zero or nearly so. That would indicate that the game is stopped or pauses. If it's still taking about the same %CPU, then it's running, doing something. I don't play games, but I do stream music and the music keeps running when I'm in a different window. I also run Parallels with Win7 and it keeps running when I move to a different window, so Yosemite definitely should be multitasking. [/QUOTE]
