    Do you use any Mods?

    Try to repair the game. > Restart the PC > Test.

    (Origin: Game Library > Right-click the game cover > Repair)
    (EA app: My Collection > Click on the three dots on the game cover > Repair)
    (Steam: Game Library > Right-click the game > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files.)

    If that don't helps the "AppHangB1" error is often driver related.

    • Follow this manual to the letter to cleanly uninstall all NVIDIA components.
    • Install the graphics driver and GFE. > Go online.
    • Makes sure other drivers (Sound/Network) are also up to date.)
    • Test.

@holger1405 I do run mods, yes, but even using a vanilla backup copy that I told Origin to repair, it did the same thing.

However! You're my favourite person today! The DDU seems to have fixed it! I ran around on the crew deck for a while and no hanging!

May you get all of the nice things you wish for. <3

(Also, the link in in the blog post re: DDU instructions, going to the nvidia drivers leads to a page entirely in German, just so you're aware!)
