GTA IV PC Glitch?

[TheTrueBoss997]

So I'm recording footage of GTA IV PC and I seem to encounter a glitch. After starting a mission Niko couldn't switch any of his weapons, I thought it was my controller but when I paused the D-Pad left and right were working but doesn't work when switching weapons. So I continued the mission and when I picked up a pistol, Niko equipped the weapon but stayed in the aim lock. Thinking this was a minor issue that would go away, I went and proceeded to save my game after the mission. Now everytime I start the game I can't switch weapons and if I'm able to get a weapon equipped I can't leave aim lock. Hoping one of you guys would know the cause of this issue. BTW I know it's not the controller because the d-pad works on other games and the mouse and keyboard cannot switch weapons either.

With the fist selected as the current weapon, the player can pick up random objects off the streets such as a bricks and bottles. However, the player cannot switch weapons while an item is picked up. All items on the street that the player picks up do the same damage when thrown at someone. Objects which can be picked up and thrown will not disappear no matter how far away it is from the player. Using an example, if the player picks up an object from a rooftop and throws it down the from the balcony, the player will still find the object which he/she threw earlier on in its original condition on the ground when the player reaches street level.

Its stretching but find something to pick up.

Unfortunately that did not resolve my issue.

I guess if you're not too far, start a new and see if results repeat.
