This happens after I swap between windows and the go back to spring, which leads to failgame. You know, this can happen if some program like firewall popup's and switches to windows while ingame...

Please fix...
Thank you!

There is an option "Fix rendering on alt-tab" in springsettings. Is it on?

Do you have an ATI card? If so, check whether AI hacks is on.
Also make sure you have the latest drivers for your video card: that often solves problems.
For ATI cards:

(look on the right part of the page)
For nvidia cards:

Hope this helps :-)

edit: strange that it occurs together with the sync problems. Then the problem might be somewhere else just as good.. :?

I have Nvidia. However, now that you mention, I haven't updated my drivers for long time. So let's try it, especially when you gave me a link, thx :)

Isn't sync error just normal when alt-tabbing?

I play in windowed mode ever since spring fails to come back from alt tab in a reasonable time frame (like 2 years now).
