This happens to my older computer as well. I am guessing that the game code is set up in such a way so that the game actually rebuilds the entire map's sectors when a door is opened (correct me if I'm wrong).
Oh, and welcome to the forums MrShock.

Hi & welcome to the forums. (^^,)

As far as I know, opening a door calls a predef script which calls the function SC_Wait and then open the door. The intended purpose of this is to make the door wait a bit before it opens.

Unfortunately, there is a bug with SC_Wait which makes the whole game pause for a while instead of only a certain part of it.
So far, in mods, everything that involves script delay requires a workaround trick that is fairly difficult to set up, so we're all hoping for this bug to be fixed one day.
However, Meteor 2 development sadly seems to be on hold for some time now...

EDIT: Don't worry people, I've tested stuff some time ago and it's really not related to how old or slow your computer might be. That script command is the culprit.

Good call guys. What mission is it on, and what door is it? We can check the script, and test it out.

Basically every door iirc. The disadvantage of an old computer is that wait seems to be longer for kinda obvious reasons.

It's a global, fixed script that the game executes at any sector that is flagged as a door.

2 words here, I guess: Clock Speed.
It seems obvious to me that SC_Wait counts an amount of clock ticks, and since the delay for opening a door is very short, this temporary freeze might be as good as unnoticable for computers with a rather high clock speed. The bug is there anyhow.
