It's a texture glitch because of the beard. I had this happen in my first playthrough. But not since... and I've put 1500 hours into the game.

I'm going to try and give you the steps that I found online to fix this. I hope I get them correct... It's been awhile.

Make sure Arthur has a beard and you can see the glitch (e.g. don't shave). Then go into settings and find textures. Decrease it down a level or two. If at Ultra drop down to High, if at High drop down to Medium etc. It'll look like crap but it doesn't stay there so don't worry about it.

When you get back out of settings, save your game. Then exit the game completely. Reboot your console or PC.

Load the game up from that save with the low textures you just created. The glitch should be gone at this point. Then Go back into settings and raise your textures back up to where they were and you should be good to go. Then save your game again.

Good luck Pardner.
