Game reinstalled and updated to patch 5. Settings at medium. Will let you know if it worked.

Update: Game ends successfully if I do the DEAL option. Still have to try the REVENGE, but so far no crashes or bugs or glitches.

[TommyZ]

I have the same problem for Xbox 360. Any way to help me?

[Stone Cold Spider 3:16]

downloaded fraps and works fine... was able to get into the heli now and finish the mission thx so much

[uPdaTe]

Worked for me, thanks alot.

[Jimbatron]

Bump.

If a mod is reading this, perhaps it is worth pinning this topic? About once a week someone brings up this problem because Captain_Obvis456's solution has slipped down the board.

[blahblah2222]

Fraps didn't do anything for me. Redefining the jump button to another button didn't do anything for me.

So I don't see any point in making this a sticky, since these solutions don't work.

Sorry to hear it didn't help you, but it seemed to work for a lot of others if you read the thread. Its a starting point and a lot of people keep asking.

Since this problem may be related to gameplay speed, I would recommend running your graphics settings to Minimum and then Maximum to see if that helps.

I'm also having this problem, I have re-assigned the key and am running FRAPS in the background showingf 56 FRAPS during this seen and between 56-54 the reswt of the time (it drops to 36 while speeding). Any advice would be appreciated.

You need to be recording with fraps, not just having it run in the background while you try getting in the helicopter.
This will bring your FPS to 30 and there shouldn't be much fluctuation in your FPS. 30 seconds are more than enough if you only have the free version. If it's not set to record at 30 FPS, set it to that.
From what I understand there is so much happening during this part that the the game can't load the game fast enough so it causes lag and when you're pressing the space bar, it doesn't register, or doesn't register right.
Does it look like it's lagging when you're trying to climb up?
That's what was happening to me.
Reassigning keys makes no difference

Still people are finding this issue so I figured I'd bump this. I guess that other guy in this thread could have finished his own mission instead of having someone else do it.

Why not?

It is probably safer and fairer to say that with FRAPS that it works for most users, but there are always users who will not experience the benefits of slowing down their processor(s) sufficently to make any real difference. There is no perfect solution - there never is - but FRAPS is well-known for providing at least one means to complete the missions. I think it is necessary to point out that machines are evolving and within them are faster processors, better memory cards and more intense graphics cards ... the point is, FRAPS is a program which works under certain specifications and as machinery and technology moves forward, FRAPS either keeps up with it or it fails to do the job it is intended to do. And when that happens, we see problems - such as it not working at all. I'm sure its an issue that ANY person here who has ever used a PC has encountered ... the old problem of a well-loved program no longer working.

For me, a lot of my older 32 bit software no longer works under 64-bit, so I am having to re-tool my utilities collection. FRAPS is no different.

FRAPS doesn't works. Due to this, everyone chose XBOX and PS3. I am waiting for the release of patch 1.0.8.0 which should have this fix.

Well......
I'm wondering why Rockstar is telling people who contact them to do this, cause they are. If you read the whole thread, plus a whole lot of other threads about this it's helped an awful lot of people.
And to the guy who said "why not?" If the guy just wanted to do the last mission himself, he could have. At least he could have had the option of trying it I have also said it's not a 100% fix for everyone, but it helps a lot of people out.
And this has been happening since the game came out.
There have been 7 other patches out that didn't patch this and I bet the next one won't either.
I didn't have it until the third patch.
And since I upgraded my computer I don't have to use Fraps anymore.
So saying it doesn't work is just wrong.
Did you try it and it didn't work?
Did you do it right? Some people don't record when you jump up to the helicopter. If you don't, it doesn't work.
Did you try it a few times. For some, it takes a few times.

I've done it from the first try.

[Dr. John13]

I have tried but in vain.

[Giradox]

f*ck me what piece of sh*t this mission is. I tap space like crazy, using the index fingers to get it fast as f*ck. But no, he just moves a little, and the camera angles keep changing or some sh*t instead of anything happening. Then the mission fails and he falls into the sea. I don't get why Rockstar stopped bothering making games for PC.

[JAY007S]

It was so frustrating trying to figure out how to climb up the helicopter when pressing ''SPACE BAR'' didnt work no matter how fast you press niko just would not climb up the helicopter. So I finally did it with the FRAPS glitch and it WORKED!
Fiirst time I did it and I was like yessssss but didnt know how to fly the helicopter that well so I fell in the water lololol. So yea just want to say thanks for this thread
