Here's what happen when you start going into Inner City.
Loading game data to 100% --> Showing loading bar --> Communicating with game server --> Loading area --> Game screen show up.
Now here's the step.
1. Ready your CE, go into inner city.
2. Wait until "Communicating with game server" show up.
3. Quickly go to CE, press the process list and select the correct plugin_container.
4. Enable speed hack, slide to 0 and click apply.
If this still doesn't works, then the problem are not by the game or CE.
Note, make sure you selected the process after Communicating with game server showed up, not before it. Otherwise you'll select the wrong plugin_container.
And make sure you're fast enough, if the game show "Loading area", then you're already too late. Which you need to repeat from the start again. Doing any hack at this point won't make it works.
