Attempting to play GTA IV – Day 2

1. Boot up computer. It automatically runs the “Rockstar Social Club”. I try to launch the game. It crashes. I must HARD RESET.

2. Restart computer. Log into Rockstar Social Club so that I can log OUT of Rockstar Social Club, and play game in “Offline Mode”. IT ACTUALLY LAUNCHES. I get to play the game long enough to explore an alley by the docks and find a Malatov Cocktail, and see a cop busting a guy… then the game starts hanging. Pauses for 5 seconds, every 2 seconds. But, I AM ABLE TO ACTUALLY EXIT THE GAME NORMALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME.

3. Shut down computer, remove Hauppauge PVR-350 card which was under video card and kind of hot. Blow out dust from video card. Re-insert video card. Re-start computer. Launch the game using previous methods. CONTROLS ARE ALL RESET TO DEFAULT!!! I must re-configure ALL my keys! GOD I love being Left-handed!! After doing that as quickly as possible, get to run out of apartment, buy a hot dog, before the game starts hanging again. I manage to exit it again legitimately.

Bang head against wall. Play with baby. Go watch Miami vice.
