logitechdog Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I assume when you say press e you mean your gamepad controller version of e? if you not reinstalled it allready maybe the problem is:- *Direct input device support is now disabled by default and can only be enabled with the commandline: "-usedirectinput" Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/393953-internet-cafe-problem/#findComment-1058905377 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanantic Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Ok, problem solved, computers are now usable. What i did was 1) Delete the crack I used for gta4 2) Put on the backup launcher 3) Put in the retail disk 4) Computers are now accessible I'm guessing its just another securom's prevention against hackers But I really would like to play Gta4 without the CD.

mms001 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Same for me, i can't use any computers. I've completed mission Hostile Negotiation, and i tried to run computer in Roman's Penthouse. But happened the same as your problem. Don't say to delete any crack's, i've got a retail version, but after i put my disk in CD-ROM, it's the same.

Zanantic Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Ok, i'm not saying that all the people that don't get their computer working are pirates, i'm just sharing my experience. I had a backup of my launchgta4.exe from the fresh install of gta4. Then i felt tired of putting in the retail disk to play so i installed the crack. After the 2nd patch, computers don't work under the crack anymore, so i replaced my VERY ORIGINAL launchgta4.exe with the crack, and put in the retail disk to play. So, maybe you guys can try to. 1) Do a fresh install of GTA4 2) Make a backup of launchgta4.exe BEFORE any updates 3) Apply 1.01 and 1.02 patch 4) Replace the launchgta4.exe with your original launchgta4.exe from the retail disk 5) See if it works It works for me as. I couldn't get the computers to work as well. Now it works perfectly.
