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?

In my case i think i have got to the bottom of my dodgy graphics problem.

I believe it was due to the amount of time the PS2 had been playing non stop, me and my brother were working together on GTA 3 so we would take it in turns to play. What usualy happened was that we may have 1-2 hours each on the game, during the day this did not happen much but at night with nothing to do the PS2 was turned on at 7pm say and it might not go off while 2am.

This means that the PS2 was having a heavy work out and was starting to possible over heat or just not work properly. Anyway now i have not played it as much and when i do all is fine and it runs with no problems.

So heres a warning, do not use the PS2 for LONG sets of times!

any way the game has crashed once but that was leaving it on for a very long time and the fan was burning( not burning but hot) and thats it.
