Unable to restore Spearhead after minimizing - either with ctr + alt + del OR alt + enter. Anybody have the same issue?
When Spearhead is restoring, error screen pops up - "Spearhead has encountered a problem and needs to close", or Spearhead just closes/crashes.
Any help? I have 2 desktops and one laptop does the same thing. Tested stock, same result.
Thanks

I finally figured it out -
Spearhead settings had to be on 16 bit. I've had them on 32 bit for several years ahhhhhh...

Unfortunately I wouldn't recommend going to 16 bit settings - as the fog more than doubles in the maps, leaving you with limited visibility.
Altho, if you exit the server but stay in Spearhead - you can minimize and restore in 32 bit, just not while you're on a server.

2 hours later - looked like it was a duplicate hud...everything is working good now.
at least players know not to be in 16 bit now.
