Borderlands 4 Launches To Mostly Negative Steam Reviews Over Performance Issues And Crashing

If you're a real fan, you'll be grateful that Borderlands 4 even exists in the first place, that you are privileged to even buy it, and leave a positive review immediately.

Obviously, only the fake fans have bought it so far, especially on GAF.
 
Not as bad as Cyberpunk but It only run and looks good If you have a really good PC
My experience with Cyberpunk at launch on PC back then (had a Ryzen 3900X and a RTX 2070S) was that i had no performance issues, game ran well.
Was is buggy as hell though? Yeah. Had to reload saves cause NPCs were stuck and i couldn't progress. Physics were going crazy etc etc. Made me stop playing and wait for patches.
Finally played it after the expansion launched on my new 4090 with Pathtracing.

Idk what the problem is in your end, but the crashes on my PC completely vanished after installing the 581.29 Nvidia drivers from Sep 10.

Disabled Game Bar which had started again for some reason - Probably an update - Been ok since but thats not to say its fixed

I'm running yesterdays Nvidia Driver and it probably is to do with that looking at the crash logs

Device state: Error_DMA_PageFault, Engine reset occurred: true, Shader = DeferredLightPixelMain, Driver 581.29

which looks to be driver side more than anything

Pitchford really should have swallowed that "real fans" nonsense. Even with less issues it was kinda dumb to say, but if your game isn't running basically flawlessly you don't make grand statements about the indisputable value of your game.
 
I see nothing in this games graphics that even needs the features of UE5.
Are you saying that from playing hands on (youtube videos doesn't do it justice)? Because, to me, on PC, it appears to use Lumen/global illumination and Nanite. It looks different and better than Borderlands 3 in that respect, at least to me (especially with RTX HDR enabled). Geometry feels solid and the graphics overall seems to have more "depth". While not necessarily a part of UE5 features per se, it also does dynamic weather.

Nevermind, the game crashed again today, so it's not just the driver change I guess. With that said, it has been crashing way less after updating.

GW2


40 fps vs 400 fps 10 times worse performance and games look about the same. Wth happened to the devs?


Or BF2 190 fps native 4K with all that foliage going on?


Why did devs fell so low? Wth happened?
