Hi guys,

I've been having issues with my copy of MC : LA on my PS3. I bought the game about a month and a half ago, and everything ran fine, the game was smooth, the textures loaded properly even when racing at 200mph.

But over the past few weeks the game seems to be running worse and worse. Firstly, when I first got into the game some road an building textures took an extra second or two to load and then after a few minutes of gameplay the game ran fine, but after these few weeks this problem seems to be getting worse. Now entire blocks of the city take way too long to load, even after playing for a good 20 minutes I would still be racing along sections of road which haven't loaded properly, even cars randomly pop into the scene. And I would hit invisible objects which haven't rendered yet.

I just want to ask if anyone is experiencing similar problems?

None of my other games seem to be having this problem, so I'm thinking that my PS3 is still healthy.

Any help or opinions would be great.

Thanks in advance....

I would say your PS3 is dying... if MCLA has an install file delete it and reinstall if it doesn't.. return it and try a different copy maybe...

Plenty of space on the HDD, I should have stated that I have one of the new 80GB models, got it middle of December last year. Haven't had it for too long.

I've read many threads about this same problem and I have the same thing too. I have about 6g left on my HDD but I think it's really the game and maybe where your at in it (percent wise) cause in the beginning it was fine and now it gets worse and worse but all the rest of my games run great.

I have that problem very little. When it does happen, I just continue playing and it stops happening and everything runs normally. Not sure what's up with it.

Maybe but like I said the same game (the same save file) on different systems gave a different result...on my 60gb it never happens and on my friends 40gb it does...what ever it is..its not the game...

My PS3 has more than 40 GB free space and I`ve got the same texture problems. It`s just bad programming, that`s all.

Rockstar should release a patch but since not many people play it, why would they care?

ive played the game on both consoles and on the 360 it doesnt happen when you install it but when its installed it does. on the ps3 you cant which sucks i really am pissed of at rockstar for being biased ( again) this should be fixed. on a side note no worries your ps3s fine

Hi everyone... Its not problem of the game. Its problem of the console. I have those problems in many games. I tried to replace HDMI cable (x3), didnt work. I tried formatting the hard drive and reinstalling the O.S. just as new, same problem. But its starts to worry me because its a progressive issue, at the beginning was some textures and now im having problems in all games and in all times... i start to think maybe its the overheating of the machine, that is causing a permanent damage in the machine......
