When I have a render running, Octane doesn't prevent my computer from going to sleep.

I'm familiar with power management. I want my computer to goto sleep when it's not busy--that's why I have it enabled.

When it is rendering in Octane, I don't want it to goto sleep. Other programs don't have an issue with this.

I also had that problem and, if I remember correctly, I solved it by running a long vid on youtube at the same time :P

There's a great program called DontSleep, which will keep your computer from going to sleep indefinitely, or for a period of time. It's a bandaid and not a cure though.
