This just started yesterday. I was messin around in Los Santos when all of a sudden I noticed some textures not looking right. It happens mainly on the roads. It is like they aren't meshing right. In some spots they abruptly change. Almost from a higher-res texture to a lower-res one. The game also seems to hiccup more. At first I was thinking the PS2 was dying again, but it makes no noises and I don't experience weird anomalies in other games. Vice City seems ok as well as GT4. This is currently my second PS2. The first one died from the disc read error (launch unit). The current one was bought in late 2004. The San Andreas disc doesn't have too many scratches. The thing that jumps out at me is something like a ring of light scratches going around the disc. It doesn't cover the entire disc, but is more like a line. One part of the game seems to slow down the most is by the railroad station in Los Santos near were the lowrider meet takes place. It never slowed down there before. Could it just be the disc? I cleaned it today along with the laser on the PS2. Neither helped.
