Reseting my keyboard layout to defaults just for that section fixed the issue for me. I have run into this in 3 or 4 console ports now, where the developer only remembers to port 1 of the potentially many uses for a key bind to the menu, so when you rebind it, the other uses remain bound to the original key.
Yea I tried all that. Even tried setting up a macro to rapidly push whatever button it was calling for. Did nothing. From all the googling I did on it and seeing many with the same issue, it's horrid that Rockstar hasn't made a patch to fix this.
lol, see here's the shit I'm talking about:
Here is my working solution for the helicopter bug in the Out of Commission mission of GTA IV(for PC users only):
- Download the program "AutoHotkey" (
www.autohotkey.com/download). It lets you remap your keyboard and mouse buttons, using simple scripts. It also allows you to bind multiple keystrokes to the press of a single button.
- Write the following script:
x::
Send {MButton}
Send {MButton}
Send {MButton}
Send {MButton}
Send {MButton}
Send {MButton}
Send {MButton}
Send {MButton}
Send {MButton}
Send {MButton}
Send {MButton}
Send {MButton}
- Instead of "x" you can use any button on your keyboard, preferably one that is not in use within the game and which you can keep pressing comfortably.
For anyone going through the bug on the PC version where it won't let you climb by pressing space, I found this on another forum and it worked for me:
Run fraps and capture a movie as soon as you jump up to the helicopter. Then tap space fast and you'll climb straight up.
That was such a pain before I found that. It seems like the game needs to run at 30FPS or below to allow you to climb. 60FPS on my PC was too fast for it to register me pressing space.
