After the mission "Sonny's War" the game becomes "unplayable". This problem keeps repeating after shutting down the game, emulator and so forth.
Textures de-load, pressing start menu to go to map or any other section doesn't work (the game "autopresses" circle, immediately backing out and making anything in the menu inaccessible), trying to hijack cars does nothing because character now only points gun at them - can't enter cars, driving to the edge of such de-loaded roads will make your vehicle disappear, walking past the edge will make you fall into black emptiness and die, infinite loading on "ICED!" screen.
In the first picture, the last bridge before turning to the Corleone compound road, is where the textures first de-load and game shows its breakage.
Second picture I drove back towards the long bridge where I drove down from and the textures have vanished from this side as well.
Third picture just shows the drop in the void before dying and (a probable) infinite loading.
The game worked basically without any faults for 24 in-game hours, just some slight flickering of lights through buildings but even that might've been fixed. There were no crashes, no crackling sounds, nothing. On a side note, I've taken over all businesses, shops, warehouses, compounds etc. so there are no enemies besides cops and trucks outside of missions, but hardly believe that to be the reason.
EDIT: So after half a year I decided to try again. The "fix" is simple, don't drive to the compound after the mission ends, from the wharf hub, but find the nearest phone and fast travel.
EDIT2: After again more than a year I fired up the game, it has become apparent that it is this exact spot in the game that is faulty, for whatever reason. It is not dependent on the progress or missions, just the part of the map. I am doing 100% on missions and activities, the last Contract Hit is situated near this place. Same bugs appeared, that is, menus not working and ultimately textures missing, cars dropping from the bridge, infinite loading.
