SteelSeries Engine 3: The Basics
Background Processes v. Interface
SteelSeries Engine has a process that runs in the background on your machine, which is
required to run many of the features in SteelSeries Engine 3. Automatic deployment of your
custom device configurations and executing macros in game are examples of features that
require SteelSeries Engine background processes.
Then SteelSeries Engine 3 interface is independent from the background processes. It
provides an easy, intuitive way to configure your SteelSeries gear. When you are done
making configuration changes, close the interface windows to free up your computer’s
operating resources for other games and applications.
Opening and Closing SteelSeries Engine 3
After installation the SteelSeries Engine background processes will start and the interface
will open automatically. When your computer starts up only the background processes of
SteelSeries Engine will launch automatically. You also have the option of disabling this
through the settings menu in the interface’s main window (details in Application Settings).
