If I have my graphics as in the image, then the freeplay starts as seen in the 2nd and 3rd images, and I cannot access the options menu.
And if I disable the shadows, load the game, then change the details to low and restart the game, the game seems fine, and there are no portions of the map or peds in white, but the vehicles are fully white. If I then turn the shadows back on, the screen becomes as in the last image.
Do you have any advice?
