Pegorino, Once of the worst designed missions in GTA

[BoBo2]

After a good 5-10 minute shootout out, outside the building, then into the building, then outside the building, the game tells you to chase after Pegorino along the beach with a bike.

Try 1. Pressing "F" for the lock on use feature, Nico decided the ladder next to the bike was the better option, thus plunging himself into the water (for some reason) going round in circles, before decided to re-lock onto the ladder. "Pegorino got away" the game cries.

Try 2. Pressing "F" for the lock on use feature, Niko decided the ladder next to the bike was the better option, even though he was much closer to bike, thus plunging himself into the water (for some reason) going round in circles, before decided to re-lock onto the ladder. "Pegorino got away" the game cries.

Try 3. Pressing "F" for the lock on use feature, quarter of a foot away from the Bike, Niko decides the Bike is the best option, after chasing Pegorino he attempts to jump onto the side of a helicopter "repeatedly tap "space" to climb up" the game commands. Furiously tapping with camera angles changing oddly, the mission ends. ""Pegorino got away" the game cries."

You are doing it wrong, over and over again..

Use two fingers when you are supposed to get into to the helicopter, and do it fast..

[MassacrMan]

Its a bug when getting into the helicopter, change your jump key to something like T when getting into the helicopter. Then just change it back after you get inside.

thanks, i try this.

[k37chup]

didn't work. this is one major bug

recording with fraps at 30fps solved the problem :S http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=392947&st=60

[SodaBob]

I'll try the fraps solution, thanks for the info. But how ridiculous. Obviously this is a wide spread issue. Rockstar should just remove this part of the mission (have Nic get into the helicopter automatically), it's a lame part of the mission anyway to have to hit keys to climb into the chopper - just skip it, Rockstar. A huge sour place at the end of an otherwise great game and decent port.

[Dragunovhun]

It's because the console versions run at 30FPS... GTA SA on the PC also had all kinds of problems with the frame limiter turned off. So what does rockstar do? Remove the frame limiter from IV entirely.

Yeah good job.
When i had trouble with this mission, for some reason using an old PS2 keyboard helped.

the latest patch did some ♥♥♥♥ with internal game timing, but should be solved with vsync activated

[noodlesoup]

Hated this mission, failed it twice. The first time my hawk took a hit, thought that was it, and reloaded (I know, facepalm) the 2nd time, my hawk took a hit, but it was real dodgy, like the rocket blatently missed, so figured it may of been scripted, landed, died in the park (RAGE) 3rd time I did it tho, didnt even fight any of the bad guys outfront of the warehouse, instead I just went round the back and climbed onto the roof.

[Gloops]

I too had the problem where Niko kept grabbing the ladder and going for a swim instead of getting on the bike. By the fourth attempt I hit 'F' as he was still going down the steps, and then he went for the bike. Then I crashed the zero traction dirt bike into the sea. Fifth attempt I missed the ramp and crashed into the sea. Sixth attempt I managed to get onto the helicopter (I didn't have any problem getting onboard by tapping the space key), but it was shot down by the scripted RPG (a bug, I guess) and I crashed into the sea. At that point I was getting a bit sick of doing the same thing over and over so I looked at a spoiler and discovered you don't actually have to shoot at the boat, just head to the island. Rockstar really need to add some more checkpoints to their missions.

[toukonstuart]

This whole mission is the perfect example of why "checkpoint" save systems are utter crap! I got to the helicopter, kept tapping space bar to get in, then I did and the camera seemed to changed awkwardly - and in seconds Pegorino had escaped, 15-20 minutes of progress gone like that. If they let us save like EVERY game should (god, the console-ized checkpoints are stupid!) then we could at least retry it quickly instead of going through the whole shootout again. Ugh... I've put 44 hours into this game and the last mission has to be a mess.

[Skorpion]

It's a pain in the ♥♥♥. It once took me an hour of doing the last section with the bike over and over and over until I got it right.
Then the chopper caught an RPG dead on and exploded, killing me.
