My problem is that my hud is disappering in while playein, with hus i mean Chat, recource bars, build menü, luas, everything without the "game camera" i cant see any mouse or sth only the game i can scroll and so on.

Its sometimes a few minutes to the full game. it disappears for 5 min then it comes back .....

With this problem its very hard to play.

BUT if i habe a "bauschleife(in german)(a row of orders)" and THEN i use shift to display the orders i gave, the hud appear but only as long as i click shift, and ONLY if i HAVE a build row. and with the pressed shift key i cant play(selecting units and so on....)

I tryed windowed and full screen mode.
I tryed older ati drivers(i am using the omega drivers)
I tryed fixing it to 1 processor core.
I formated a few times and reinstall spring, but i always have the problem.
But a few month ago it was posible for me to play without issues.

Anyone has an idea what i can do?


OH: I'm running Windows XP home

Use Catalyst driver 7.11 or older. The newer versions have sort of a problem with Spring's settings. With that said you might want to do a search here in the forum because I once saw a thread which listed some options to change in some files to make it work even with newer driver verions...

Looking in some forum you should find some settings like that :

FixAltTab=1
SmoothLines=1
SmoothPoints=1

Fix these value using regedit then find values in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/SJ/Spring

the linkz : viewtopic.php?f=11&t=13062

no need for registry editor, the spring settings program has all of them (in advanced mode at least)

try pressing f5 again?
