1 I like to listen to YouTube videos in the background as I play the game. The problem is that the whole machine grinds to a halt, even after I've stopped the video, closed the browser, quit Zero-K and Steam. As far as the game goes, it becomes very jumpy (is that frame-rate?) I can't scroll properly, every action is delayed by several seconds. 1 I like to listen to YouTube videos in the background as I play the game.
