Upload your save. I've finished the game so this won't help me personally, but this kind of assistance gets you my 'Moderator of the Year' award. Good stuff, Tigranes!

By the way, is it possible to change the Subject line of the thread, "Bug in last fase" to something like "Helicopter not appearing in final mission" to make it easier for people who have the problem to find the topic? The closed thread had a much more appropriate subject line.

Hi. Yeah, I had the same problem. And was in a similar situation to the guy in the other thread who was a stealth build. There are a few relevant checkpoints. 1. Before the Darcy fight 2. Just after killing Darcy (Checkpoint 3 comes almost as soon as you leave the area, so make sure you save as soon as possible) 3. Just before you turn the corner after leaving the Darcy area In my experience, checkpoint 3 never worked, but checkpoint 2 sometimes works. Also, with Checkpoint 2, sometimes the helicopter would not be there but the gate would be down anyway. I eventually finished the area by reloading Checkpoint 2, the helicopter wasn't there, but I finished the area by killing the first few enemies before going around the corner with the truck, then going Shadow operative and running around using takedowns on all the enemies. The gate was down even with the helicopter's absence. Other times the helicopter wasn't there but the gate was still up. So, my recommendation is to get past the fight with Darcy, save the checkpoint (Checkpoint 2, above) and keep reloading that one until the gate is down, helicopter or no. Annoying, but at least you don't have to fight Darcy again, which took me about 12 attempts. Good Luck, Caveman42

Thanks for the tips, but there's no XBox controller at all in the device manager. And my problem with unplugging the controller is that I play games with Mouse and Joystick. (I know that's unusual, but that's how I prefer to play) Note: I've found a workaround where I can load the game, then unplug the joystick, then click on Options with the mouse, then Alt-Tab back into Windows, then plug the joystick back in, then set the Joystick's profile manager back into Alpha Protocol settings, then Alt-Tab back into the game, and then reload my game. But a way to reverse the "Use XBox Controller" option would obviously be better than me bothering with that unplugging/plugging in procedure whenever I want to play. Thanks, Caveman42

And that hasn't quite solved the issue, unfortunately... I have to unplug my joystick each and every time I start the game, or the same problem arises. So, back to my original question of finding a way to tell the game I DON'T have an XBox controller. Or at least that I don't want to USE my (non-existent) XBox controller. I think it must believe my joystick is an XBox Controller but it won't let my joystick buttons select anything. And to top it off, it won't let my mouse select anything either.

Hi again. I seem to have fixed it, so I'll post what I did here for anybody else with the same problem... 1. I deleted all lines in the APInput.ini that started with Bindings=XboxS... (Or something like that) 2. I also unplugged my joystick (Cyborg Evo Force) Not sure which of these actions solved my problem, but one of them seemed to. Enjoy, Caveman42

I have the exact same problem - also after accidentally clicking on the 'use XBox Controller' button Any way to reset the config files to default or otherwise adjust them so it no longer thinks I have an XBox Controller? I don't have an XBox Controller. Thanks, Caveman42
