Hello -
I have installed the latest Effects from Blue Max and am receiving the hangar stutter on the animation coming out of the hangar where my ship freezes but the other activities in the hanger seem to be moving appropriately.
I had read in a different post related to the Effects from Blue Max that this is fairly common. I tried playing around with the vsync hangar options in the ddraw file, but that did not make a difference whether it was on or off. Not a huge deal as it does not affect playability and the overall effects in this patch are awesome, but curious if there are other workarounds for the hangar matter.
I did notice that disabling the hook_time.dll fixed the issued, but then obviously you are capped back to 30 FPS in-flight as well. Are there any other solutions that were successful in addressing this?
Thanks and appreciate any suggestions.

Have you tried setting your monitor refresh rate to 60Hz? Some people experience this problem if their refresh rates are above that value.

Hello,
Since it may cause issues, should I limit the FPS to 60 in hangar in the time hook?

This issue does seem to pop up a lot. So if that fixes it without any Effects installs that could be a good idea.

In the DDRAW.cfg turn also on the VSYNC in there as well, not just the hangar one that was already on. THAT fixed my issue. I do not know if that's a overall fix, but we'll see.
