When playing online on most maps I get this weird graphical bug where I can't see much of the track and all these blocks are randomly floating about the map.

Check the video above

specs:

AMD Phenom II x6 1090t
ASUS HD 7770 2GB
16GB DDR3 RAM
playing on an SSD
Windows 7 x64

I am playing mainly on high settings and my graphics drivers are up to date.

You only encounter this issue with TM² Valley? Do you encounter this issue when playing on some specific tracks or servers?

I am afraid this is AMD related or related to the current ATI-driver.
And its not only Valley related, it can happen on Canyon as well.
It appeared to me before when i had the previous driver of ATI 13.3 and with the current 13.4 driver.
I have a AMD Radeon 7970 . I have heard from several other players they have it sometimes as well.
It happens vary rarely and when it happens its online on the same spot in the same track. Something with the 3d memory, i dont know
It only stops after rebooting maniaplanet completely. I wonder what ATI-driver darkpuddle uses?
And perhaps others can report it here as well, to give a complete picture.
I will try to send a logfile when it happens, but it happens so rarely it can take weeks before it happen again.
I will also inform other players with this same bug about this topic and hopefully we can resolve the issue.

any server because It has happened on 5 different servers already

1 have the 13.4 AMD catalyst driver thing

I also have this problem... not as extreme as in the attached youtube video, but I do have the occasional mountain popping up on my road.
I also have an AMD GPU.

I'm also on AMD, these artefacts only appear when I tab out of the game while a new map is loading.
