Visuals will freeze for about 30 seconds while exiting hangar. The sound stays normal. After about 30 seconds, I’m in space as if I had been flying for a while. Seems like this started after downloading the Calamari hangar patch. Anyone else having this issue?

The Effects from Blue Max fix this issue.
Vsync needs to be on in the hangar to stop this happening.
So if you download the Effects release you should be ok afterwards.

If the effects doesn't fix this, then check the refresh rate on your monitor. If it's above 60Hz, try lowering it down to 60.

Another thing to try, which worked for me, even after turning on all options in my nVidia CP, is in the DDraw.cfg file

Change the overall vsync to on.

The lowering refresh to 60hz from 144hz did the trick for me. I was still getting stuttering with EnableVSyncInHangar = 1. Thanks.
