Rautatie Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I have this problem with my GTA IV. When I start my game, I teleport into my safehouse. Seconds after that, my cellphone comes up. But I can't get it down! I can't use guns or get out of my apartment (the elevator door is closed for some reason) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388007-huge-problems/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graven Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) WTF? That is chilly. Just like kids today, they stay locked inside and play with their cellphones, TVs and consoles...and PCs. This game is so much about realism! Can You use the cellphone? Try calling a "friend" You made me drop man, sorry! I hope it gets fixed.

Rautatie Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 your phone is green on 2,,,,, which means yoru on your phones keypad.. so go across to the red phone and enter it or right click your mouse... unless its not a pc problem fixed.... maybe lol It didn't work. I can't move the green number, so it stays on 2. I can't call anyone, nor can I press the red phone. Clicking RMB doesn't do anything either.

And in all other saves, the phone pops up and I can't get it down. And I tried to restart, didn't work.

logitechdog Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 if you still got it open try going against a wall and pressing your cover button ( Q if default ), if that don't work then either currupt game needs reinstall, or wait for a tech guy to help ... backup your saved files don't know if it uninstalls them or if you can rename the gta folder and install the game again and try transfering the files over or what ever suits you... sorry that can't help ye Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388007-huge-problems/#findComment-1058815222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rautatie Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 I think that maybe the save isn't corrupted. I bought a new mouse today, so maybe that's why cell phone doesn't work properly. I try to use my old mouse now. I'll tell you if it helps. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388007-huge-problems/#findComment-1058815311 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you if it helps. You should have mentioned that in the first place...of course it´s that! Delete settings.cfg, C:\Users\<Yourusername>\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\Settings\SETTINGS.CFG (little different path in XP) Install drivers for your new mouse and You´re set.

Rautatie Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Ok, sorry about that i'm double posting, but deleting settings.cfg and installing new drivers didn't help. I tried to reinstall the game, it didn't worked either. The phone just pops up and stays there. Any other solutions?

Irrati0nal Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Try disconnecting any other input device you have (gamepad/joystick etc.) then enter the game, or whilst in game unplug the mouse and keyboard and wait a minute then plug them back in.

Ok, I tried that but it didn't help. I unplugged my mouse, keyboard and joystick, then started the game, but the cell phone was still there. And while game was running, I tried to do the same thing, I unplugged everything but it didn't work either. I guess no one else has this problem?

logitechdog Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 could try deleting all the input drivers under the device manager and restarting your computer with only the keyboard and mouse in, then trying to launch gtaIV or disabling them see if one of them is causing it Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388007-huge-problems/#findComment-1058821710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rautatie Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Ok, I noticed something. Few days ago Graven told me to install new drivers and delete settings.cfg. I did that but it didn't work and now I know why. The settings.cfg comes back every time I start the game! Any ideas how to delete settings.cfg permanently? I tried to empty the trash bin and so on, but it always comes back!

Stormrose Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 First time to say something! I had the same problem this morning, that's y I am here, but I have it FIXED just now. The solution's pretty simple: 1. Download the following files from any DLL files website, you name it. xinput1_1.dll; xinput1_2.dll; xinput1_3.dll; XInput9_1_0.dll 2. Replace those files in C:\Windows\System32 Technically, it will be fine after you do 1 and 2. 3. Delete if you see xbox360cemu.ini in C:\Windows\ P.S. I tried to use joystick for the game, but it's not XBOX or PS2 ones, so I added a "plug-in". The plug-in files contains 5 files needed to be replaced or added, in which 4 of them showed above and the otherone is xbox360cemu.ini.
