Post subject:  Won't allow my computer to sleep!

Hello! :)

I love VCD and am always looking forward to seeing the new versions as they come out. The one thing I would love to see in the next version is a VCD which does not prevent my computer from going into Power Saving Mode and turning off my monitors. Strange as it may seem, I do like to sleep sometimes instead of playing VCD 24/7. When that happens, since I can't save progress on long levels (such as the new amazing med bay) I just walk away from the computer and let it sit. Who turns off the computer these days?! Not me!

I do however like the monitors to go off after a while, but when VCD is running, that never happens! Even when I use a third-party utility to force my computer into power-saving mode and turn off the monitors, they pop right back on after a few seconds, all thanks to VCD.

Is this something you guys could fix? The program does not seem to be going into any type of suspend as it should when I have it minimized, or am in another window, or the computer is idle.

Thanks :)

Hey!

How very odd.. Does it work differently in windowed and fullscreen? Do other UE games also do the same thing?

Some programs will run continuously and not allow the computer to rest, I mean after all how can you rest LOOK AT ALL THE CLEANING YOU HAVE TO DO!

Also leaving your computer on constantly is a very bad idea it decreases the life span by 3 or 4 years.
