Sorry about another GTA3 post, buts its not about how wonderful it is, (althought it pretty spanking wicked)

Is anyone else experiancing dodgy graphics, espesially on Staunton (dunno about the 3rd island)? I'm getting holes in the road that get filled up when i get close to them, some times they apperar to reflect the sky but I imagine thats just whats under the ground, and some shop fronts are missing at a distance two, with the same effect. It looks like the bitmap that is over the polygon, isnt being drawn straight away, or maybe its because I'm so damn fast?

I've noticed it too. I think it's because the level is continuously streamed from the disc, because it's much more noticeable when you're in a fast car.

The low-resolution image on the buildings is what you see in the distance, being replaced by the hi-res image as you get closer. You don't notice it on foot or in a slow car, unless you suddenly look behind or turn around.
