Does anyone else get a top of the screen glitch during the introductory video of the game (the loading screen montage that occurs before it auto-loads the mission you last stopped on).
It plays the video fine but, you can notice at the top there's a bar that takes up maybe 10% of the screen and it sort of blacks in-and-out. I notice it particularly when the video transitions out from the scene with the girl in the red dress bending over the driver's side window speaking to the driver.
Oh...and does anyone get wicked bad pop-ups from time to time. Like the entire front of a building vectoring bit-by-bit one panel at a time?

Apparently a lot of people are reporting bugs with this game, I haven't encountered any in six hours of gameplay.

Naw it's US NTSC, it's region locked. It plays fine I guess, just weird 'clipping' at the top of the intro video. Probably the onset of an effing GPU failure a-la my last box.

No bugs to report at all of any kind.

well i was going throught the post and its so strange i am definately getting really bad graphics. loading time is so slow you get like a blurry effect and sometimes you hit something which wasnt visible. its running at 12x abd still slow. hw come some of the guys are not having problems and some of us are?

If you are using a downloaded copy, you may have got some bad files. I'm not saying you are but something to think about. I would get an orig. and see if it does the same thing. If you are using the orig. than I don't know what to tell you.

I wonder if playing with a hd or not would affect this. Pariminder are you playing with one?

No, I meant a hard drive. I don't know that it loads anymore files with the hdd, but if it does it make have quicker load times and less prone to slowdowns.

neh i dont have a hard drive but i dont think hard drive comes into play but if it did it would be much faster as you said . what i am gonna do later on is revert it back to original firmware and then try again if it doesnt well new drive for me then.
thanks

that is what i would try go back orig and see what happens.
if the drive is playing other games fine then i dont think a new drive is the way to go.
if you can get a different copy of the orig game and see if it will do the same thing

Could be a sign of your GPU on the way out as well...
