Vif1: Unknown VifCmd! [3d]

[jack_heggiz]

HI there - I'm playing though GTA SA, where suddenly the game will freeze and i will be presented with the messages:

Vif1: Unknown VifCmd! [c1]
Vif1: Unknown VifCmd! [3d]
Vif1: Unknown VifCmd! [c1]
Vif1: Unknown VifCmd! [42]


Does anyone know how to fix this? It makes the game unplayable.

Can provide specs if needed

Cheeers
