Hi, I bumped this message because it was pretty old and I am wondering if it is still accurate for the current version of PS. I am currently having the problem "the sky is sometimes disappearing, giving a strange graphical effect, like blurred." constantly in outdoor areas. Has this still a current problem with the game or is it something on my system (Geforce FX5200, Win98, 512ram). I have tried numorous seting variations in PSsetup but is there any other setting changes (possibly GLdrivers.xml as an example) that I could try to remedy. Thank you for your assistance.
