Starting Spring on minimized window: render error/cant play

Post by TradeMark »

This leads to render error, it just freezes, and i cant maximize the window anymore, i need to force quit the Spring.exe and then start Spring.exe manually again, maximize it (when its not ingame, it doesnt freeze, but also it doesnt draw anything, just black.), and then quit it, then start it again and then quit it when its maximized again, and now i can play next time i start game from lobby.

This problem occured when i minimized a game i was spectating, and then left the game on, and when they started the game again, my Spring started in minimized mode automatically, which lead to this problem above.

Maybe make the Spring not remember the minimized window mode, only if its maximized/windowed?
