Keeping editor running as normal when not in focus

Hey guys, how do you keep a game running as normal when the editor is not in focus? I want to test my multiplayer with two editors open (I know you can have two instances on one editor but I need to run two editors for authentication purposes) but one editor will always show gameplay a lot slower than what it actually is. Is there a way to keep performance the same whether in focus or out of focus for editor?

Hello,

Try going to Edit->Editor Preferences->Miscellaneous and disabling the Use Less CPU When in Background option.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day
