i feel for everyone with the texture loading problem, i as well experience this when playing gta 4. it makes the game 100% unplayable looks like rat poop.

i have a brand new 2008 console, benq drive flashed with iX 1.41 12x, no hdd installed (not like that matters) i burn with a benq dw 1620 at 2.4x using imgburn, i've never had a problem with a game before. my game version is ntsc from 101. so there goes the famous PAL theory ;)

i haven't tested a retail copy because i don't think any game is worth $59 plus 14% tax, but maybe thats just me.

Ive heard from many of my friends that have the game thats original and they are experiencing it. As well as in the review from 2 different magazines they also complain about the graphic loading problem.

I burnt to a Verb (purple wrap) using Clone CD at 4x on a Pioneer 111d. The game plays perfect on my Elite w/Benq iX 1.41 8x and my Premium w/ms28 iX 1.4 8x

I always rip my games at a slower speed and burn faster.

ugh corona!!! I can't believe you drink that stuff....LOL

No.

Dos Equis and Tecate are much better options.

The 360 version sends cache textures on the fly. In order to remove the texture loading problem, drive slower, or buy a hard drive. Each texture only needs to load slowly once then.

Life likes those little complications.

I bought a brand new 360 elite with the game on the release date and have no problems what so ever. In one mission i noticed a glitch with a wheel but it only did it for 5 seconds.

The game plays really smooth and has some great detail. I don't see a problem with the game at all.

In ImgBurn, you must change the LayerBreak, i think that was the problem.

Well thank god I don't have any of those issues that many people have been complaining about. Also, I guess we all can confirm that Microsoft and Rockstar were full of sh%* when they said that they were monitoring people on Xbox Live. It'd be very difficult to detect who's playing a legitimate retail copy and a non-legitimate copy. So haha to them for trying to scare people!
