Someone who used a VPN to unlock : does it relock after restarting steam without VPN?

I believe so, yes. What you can do is unlock it via VPN. Play it once, quit, then boot Steam up in offline mode and disable the VPN. That way it won't relock and I can play it (singleplayer) until it launches in my region.

It also should work if you use a VPN to unlock it and then while playing the game ALT Tab out and disable the VPN and you're then free to play online. It will relock next time you go to play or restart Steam though I believe.

Any fix for the .NET restart loop yet?

F:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Borderlands 2\Binaries

delete 'redist' folder

had this happen to me, doing that fixed it.

 

[Log4Girlz]

They've said on the official forums they're aware it's not unlocking on PC yet and are looking into what the problem is.

The amount of people kicking off saying launch was a joke and that they should get some sort of compensation for not getting the starting weapons/relic....

Cannot wait for 5.30pm GMT (3 and a half hours) then I'm VPN'ing the shit out of this and spending all night playing

Fucking lovely :/

Are they going to issue a patch to fix this or what?

 

[Rogosh]

I bought the game off of Amazon.com, when do I get the code for the premier club? They usually email after the fact but I didn't see anything come through yet.

I'm having the same problem after ordering from best buy. They had a disclaimer on their site saying they would be sending it via email on or around the release date. I would just make sure you keep your receipts and give it a bit of time.

 

[fernoca]

Hmm..is it a good time to play the first game?
I can't buy this one right now; but can download the first one on PlayStation Plus "free". I've always liked the look of it, and heard great things from all the friends that played it.

Or just wait and play the second one?

 

[Freki]

Are your characters saved offline?

I have the game unlocked and put steam to offline mode - can't get online until the 21st. Therefor I'd like to know if I "waste" my time playing offline.

I would wait and play the second one, but it's a good chance to try the formula and if you like it. Free is free

I'd say at this point after playing 4 hours the first isn't really worth your time anymore. This one is the same game, but way better.

I'd say just wait so familiarity doesn't detract from your experience with BL2.

Definitely worth a try, especially if you have someone to do splitscreen or online co-op with. If you find the basic premise of Diablo with guns even remotely entertaining, you should lock in your purchase of BL2, which improves on just about everything.

 

[Izayoi]

omg it's so good

time to collapse now, played eight hours straight until 6am...

 

[ChosenPredator]

it's hard to get into..personally i struggled at the start to not make myself stop playing it and I am happy that I did it's really good.

 

[Raytow]

Gunplay alone makes it infinitely superior to the first one.

 

[rogerroger22]

almost tempted to take the day off work to play today...almost.

 

[Empty Space]

I managed to find a great shotgun and have been doing the shotgun ninja thing with Zer0. It take while to learn the right rhythm, but once you do its fantastic. I really hope there are bladed shotguns floating around so far I've seen bladed weapons of every type except shotguns and rocket launchers.

 

[marrec]

Yep, don't feel held back by the gunplay anymore.

 

[gutterboy44]

I love, love! Maya's phaselock, and I only have like two skill points spent so far, haha. Phaselock with a scoped weapon is tasty.

Phaselock some enemy, world looks like it is collapsing around it, debris everywhere (yay physx), line up the head shot, a lovely explosion of CRITICAL and health orbs blasting around and the sad corpse collapsing back to the ground. The combat is so satisfying and all of the new graphics and effects really add the the bedlam.

Second, the Badass system is a great addition. It adds a nice reward mechanism to those moments in between leveling and getting killer loot. Such a better system than the original gun leveling.

Alright, thanks.
Will leave it downloading as I leave to work. Will use it as a demo of sorts for the sequel; since it's "free".

Which class is easiest/strongest?



I've got the .NET loop bug

 

[Izayoi]

All of them are ridiculously powerful. You can't go wrong.

 

[Wallach]

Edit - wow I'm in the wrong thread!

 

[Empty Space]

Sniper Zer0 or Survival Axton are probably the easiest classes. Its worth noting this game is way harder than the first.

Forgive my noobish ignorance, but is there a Steam group for this game? Or just a GAF general Steam group? And if so can somebody add me or point me to it?

So I get that we receive an extra golden key if we sign up for the Shift thing....but does anyone actually know what is Shift? lol. What's that for?

Put up some gameplay with commentary (not me commentating) over on COIN-OP TV. Check it out if you are still waiting to play.

Anyone know how to get the sprint function to not be so... sticky? It seems like every time I go into a sprint my character doesn't want to stop running, I have to completely stop moving for him to drop out of it. I also wish your mouse aim slowed down a bit when you're aiming down the irons but I think I'm in the minority on that one.

GAME OF THE FOREVER!

...

It's more and better Borderlands. Fixed major problems with the first one and added some cool new features.

 

[Aesthet1c]

Ars claims that the main downside to BL2 is that the Siren and Soldier were changed for the worse. Anyone here playing those classes who played those classes in BL1 agree with that assessment?

I'm only a few hours in but I love the new Siren. I think her phase lock is way cooler than her phase shift that she had in BL1.

Unless they are talking about end game skill tree stuff, I would have to completely disagree with Ars.

 

[DinnerRevealer]

So I have the monster fur, but can't find Sir Hammerlock, and there's only a map icon for giving the fur to Claptrap.

 

[The Mana Legend]

The pistols in this game are so much more satisfying than the first's, holy shit.

All I need to know is this: has anyone found a masher?

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Any AMD peeps getting rather poor framerates? Got a 6850 and at 1080p with stuff on medium, it struggles to ever reach 60FPS.

When do you gain access to the bank?

 

[Baconmonk]

Any AMD peeps getting rather poor framerates? Got a 6850 and at 1080p with stuff on medium, it struggles to ever reach 60FPS.

What's the rest of your rig look like? I have
athlon II 645 3.1ghz (quad core)
4 gb ram
ati 6950

I'm getting 60 in most areas. Only during a tense firefight when I look across a vast expanse does it ever dip below, and even then not by much. I have a below average western digital "green" hard drive so that isn't likely a factor either. Do you have the latest drivers?

 

[HoosTrax]

When do you gain access to the bank?

There's a bank in this game? Like a real stash that lets you share loot between all of your characters?

 

[TheDarkStark]

Any AMD peeps getting rather poor framerates? Got a 6850 and at 1080p with stuff on medium, it struggles to ever reach 60FPS.

I have a 6870 and a 1st gen Core i5 with 4 gigs of ram w/Dual monitors, game is running in 1920x1080 and I have everything cranked up and it runs super smooth.

I didn't check my FPS but I haven't had any dips at all..... Although the 6870 is a bit beefier than the 6850.

I'm pretty certain I have the most updated drivers as well, so I'm sure that probably helps.

 

[Empty Space]

All I need to know is this: has anyone found a masher?

Because of the way revolvers work in this game I don't think there would be any masher style one, but I could be wrong.

When do you gain access to the bank?

You unlock the bank after the second or first mainline quest in Sanctuary. There is separate shared stash that Claptrap gives you.

 

[TwoDurans]

UPS hasn't brought me my copy yet.

Is the intro song this time around really the intro song from Strikeback? If so that's awesome!
