Yes but loading times in game and your download speed will most likely suffer

Hope I could help!

yup you can

 

*edit

 

you can play, you generally just want to avoid using the files that are still being copied, so play other games instead of the ones being downloaded/installed

 

 

Shouldn't be a problem.

 

 

sure

 

 

Nothing would break just slow... very slow

 

 

would slow down ur loading times at the very least

Thanks! However I just saw, both games are on origin and origin pauses downloads/installs of games while you play another game -.- so going to play some L4D2 on steam while I let BF4 install into Origin. Thanks again!

That's awesome. That's something that drove me crazy. If I'm playing a single player game I don't need the bandwith so it shouldn't have to stop the downloads. I use to just download games when I was away to avoid the whole deal.
