xB01S0NxBARRYx 0 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) (I play GTA on xbox btw) Hey guys, recently I have been having a huge problem in GTA 4 and TBOGT. For whatever reason, all the vehicles are glitched and wont accelerate. I can get into a car, start it, and reverse, but when I hold down on the right trigger, the car revs but doesn't move. I tested it out with bikes, same problem. With helicopters it takes me about 4 minutes to reach the top of the "empire state building." With really fast cars, I move forward at a crawl. What the heck is going on? The game isn't fun because I can't do 90% of the missions and I have to run everywhere. I put in phone cheats for a car, weapons, buzzard, and a parachute but thats it. Would that have done it? Also I moved my xbox from my basement to my room earlier on the day this glitch started. Could that have damaged my disc reader or something to make this glitch happen? Thanks Im kinda looking for fixes for this problem... although the view count on this thread is nice Edited July 15, 2012 by xB01S0NxBARRYx Link to post Share on other sites

mkey82 13 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Have you tried starting a new game? Link to post Share on other sites
Kajjy 563 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I did a bit of searching,but nothing similar poped up. Try starting a new game.If that doesn't work,try deleting the game date then reinstall by playing again. Hmm..Did this happen when you started a new game,or is this a game you've been playing on and this just recently started? Link to post Share on other sites
nic_23 65 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 try using a different controller the handbrake button might be sticking. Link to post Share on other sites
CastawayChi 0 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I am having the same problem and am having a horrible time with it. I will try to reinstall but I look forward to seeing a solution. Otherwise I probably just return it. Link to post Share on other sites
radioman 19 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 i don't understand you say your hear engine rpm but the car won't move . i suggest to reinstall then Just a heads up, the OP is on Console (X-Box)-NOT PC, so a re-install is out of the question-lol OT-Try a different controller OR a different disc and see if that helps?

Shakeyvara777 0 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I am having the same problem now. I took part in prison break heist. The place I took off in was flying really slowly. We timed out then restarted the mission. So I then got in a car once respawned but same thing hear the revs but no forward motion. I have reinstalled the entire game but same problem. Could it be an issue with my PSN account? Or an bug. Help Link to post Share on other sites
Sniper_dog 0 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I’m playing on controller and I was having the same problem so I generally held down each button, basically put it in my mouth and blew. It worked some how and I can play again Link to post Share on other sites
