This would explain why some games take minutes to launch the first time to run them. I've experienced this many times with Steam. You install a game, you launch it, and nothing happens for up to several minutes, and then the game runs. No delays after in launching after that.
- jeffbee 6y agoThis behavior drives me crazy. The only way to figure out what's going on is to open the Activity Monitor. On my 2015 iMac (top-of-the-line, at the time) initial launch of some large games has taken tens of minutes, and it happens whenever the game is updated, not just after it is initially installed.
