Broken polygon edges in Mafia (and some other games)
Describe the bug
Any polygon edges are too visible, if you make the material reflective, the reflection will be broken, literally looking like a cracked mirror
https://youtu.be/gVKiZLoEiMo at the beginning of the video you can see this effect on Tommy's clothes, now it is impossible to fix it, later it is visible on cars
How do you reproduce the bug?
just start the game, launch description and any logs here
What is the expected behavior?
in the video above I turn on the Enhanced Meshes, and the reflections on the chrome car become the way they should be
so, I found a way to temporarily fix this problem, maybe it will help in fixing the bug, but it is not suitable for a mesh with skeletal animation, because it has an unstable hash, and this method requires a lot of time for each mesh

- capture scene
- open scene in toolkit
- check hash of desired mesh (The usd importer in Blender is broken, it spoils the UV map)
- open .usd mesh in USD Composer
- export to fbx
- open fbx in Blender
- reapply texture to mesh, if this is not done there will be strange problems with import to remix
- export fbx
- ingest to remix project, replace mesh
- restore scale
as you can see I didn't do anything to the model, I just put it through blender without changes, and it was fixed by the way, I saw the same problem in other games, for example Fallout NewVegas (there is a message on discord about this, maybe that will help too
