I cant watch the video now but on pc HDR is literally broken
It makes everything looks dark a washout
Agreed, Borderlands 4 doesn't look that different graphically from BL3 to me, apart from smoother animations.
I get 40/50fps on BL4 compared to 144fps on BL3.

I'm just getting started playing on series X
First impression is that the controls are fucked. Fix the dead zones in advanced settings helped a great deal but it's still "off".

I watched some Series X footage on my TV, only watched it on my phone so far but Jesus, performance mode doesn't look great visually. Very soft, blurry stuff in the background, this stuff should not look this bad. Is this because of UE5?
I haven't seen direct comparisons with Borderlands 3 yet, but I keep reading that visually it's not a big difference. If that's the case they should've stuck to UE4.

Watched the Twitched streams in background to get the sniper and smg guns... though i cant get the gearbox shift account to show as linked on twitch even though it is? I have fully unlinked the accounts, re-linked, refreshed, not working still... i havent booted up the game yet to see if maybe that's a required step because wife is away this weekend and can't play it till sunday.
Anyone else experiencing this and know how to fix it unless its just a matter of booting up the game and logging into the 2k/shift/etc accounts in-game?

This is so reminiscent of my time with BL3 at launch on Playstation. It was all pretty jank but I still ended up liking it. Glad to hear controls are the worst issue actually.

I feel dumb but I'll ask anyway,
I've only played for close to 4 hours but where is the icon for the action skill? I use it and look for a meter showing when I can use it again but can't find it.

Anyone with a 3090 know how well this is running performance wise?

Umm how do I change the difficulty?
I'm finding it brutally hard and can't find difficulty settings.

Tried it last night for a bit. I have a 7800x3d+RTX 5090 and was getting around 100fps on Very High preset with DLSS set to Balanced on a 3440x1440 UW resolution. That is pretty atrocious performance for my system. Luckily the FG implementation (at least the 2x) is handled well, getting me to 170fps, and doesn't feel laggy. Needs a lot of work.

At the main menu before you start the game there's "session settings" or something like that

Thx. I have it on Easy and finding it like Dark Souls hard. WTF is this?

I used the default settings (a mix of medium and maximum; most of the settings were set to high) at 4K DLSS-Quality. When the game loaded, I saw 45–55 fps, which was what I had expected to see on my RTX4080S based on YouTube videos. I though that maybe I will need to run 1440p (my monitor has excelent 24 inch 1440p mode), but suddenly frame rate improved from 50fps to 94fps with exactly the same settings (and 151fps with FGx2 on top of that). It seems the game was loading something in the background initially, which is why the performance was much worse. I will test higher settings later on and see how the game performs in open world sections. For now, though, I'm pleasantly surprised at how well this game runs (at least with default settings).

You'll get better guns as you go.
I should not have redeemed the gift rewards thing so soon, I dont' have the bank option yet and I'm stuck carring a couple of Legendaries I can't use till I get to their level.

the latest Nvidia driver has a global setting to make it use the latest version of DLSS. No longer have to use 3rd party work arounds.

I just checked and B4 comes with the latest DLSS v310.2.1(for both DLSS SR and FG) and use preset K (transformer).

Are you talking about the nvidia app or just the nvidia control panel?
(Because i don't have the app nor i want to install it)
Tbh i don't wanna upgrade my driver, i'm on the most stable drivers of the past 6 months and usually when i upgrade to a new version, they are always worse, no matter if they are optimized for a specific new game.

The Nvidia app. They are going to eventually get rid of that Control panel some day.

So still a preset to pick on the app then, no ingame options, too bad.
Thanks anyway.

Well too bad, i'm not gonna install another app on my pc because devs are too lazy to make ingame options for dlss.
Thanks anyway.

No, there's no in-game DLSS switch. You have to eat what they give you, so to speak. I you want to use older CNN DLSS you need to change settings in the drivers.So i can change from cn to transform model FROM THE INGAME GRAPHICAL OPTIONS??
(sorry for screaming but sometimes people don't understand my noob ass)
GymWolf

Then i'm gonna use the old model i guess, no excuse for laziness when an indie developer like the one for no rest for the wicked has ingame options for dlss but your AAAA 150 dollars special edition game doesn't have it.
Fuck lazy devs.

So, you installed the NV drivers without GF Experience AAP? It's an awesome app dude. It allows you to easily adjust settings on a per-game basis and doesn't affect performance if you don't turn on the Nvidia overlay or use Nvidia filters (something like Reshade).

I don't install anything in my pc that is not the strictly necessary to run games, no afterburner, no discord, no nvidia app, no riva tuner, etc., the pc is as clean as it comes, probably the reason why i'm usually super lucky with notoriously buggy\broken games (or at least i like to think that is the reason).
I don't care about reshades or mods neither, i'm a fairly basic pc player and i don't like to fix the devs make a mess.

I'm also lucky when it comes to buggy/broken games even though I'm using MSI afterburner with RTSS. This frame limiter drastically lowers input latency, and especially on my current DSC monitor.

I use the frame limiter in the nvidia control panel to limit my framerate to 117.
I know rivatuner is better sometimes but i also saw my fair share of problems caused by that app and i'm too lazy and noob to start troubleshooting all the external apps to see what is breaking a game, i cut the bull head to begin with, no externals apps, less stuff to troubleshot when something goes wrong.
The master race probably hate me for this

The game maxes out the settings at "1000nits" for some reason, the only setting for HDR it has (!), and it isn't quite enough. Which is why I for now use RTX HDR instead to unlock the full brightness of my display.
Btw, CoPilot just told me that it's possible to adjust to higher nits in the GameUserSettings.ini file
RTX HDR Brightness Unlock Trick
- Navigate to Documents\My Games\Borderlands 4\Saved\Config\Windows\GameUserSettings.ini
- Add or modify the line:HDRDisplayOutputNits=1500 (or higher, depending on your display capabilities)
- When you relaunch the game, the HDR setting menu will reflect the new value.
Important: Do not adjust the slider in-game—doing so will reset it back to 1000 nits.

But nvidia app is kinda essential... you wont even notice it and you just force the DLSS4 globally once and never look at it again, but you do you...

Reviewers said that using action skills and mastering new movement mechanics is essential in B4. I suppose the game could be challenging for someone used to the mechanics of Borderlands 1–3.That challenging?

Also they gotta patch this up. Some textures don't load and look like ass. PS5 Pro.

Sound like a great improvement to me.
Exploring, Finding new guns and levelling up is gonna be more meaningful.

On pc even though all textures load properly, they still look terrible. Just a warning

Press jump button again without inputting a direction.
I know you can dash/sidestep forward/backward/left/right using up about half of your glide meter using the ground pound/crouch key. Not sure if gliders get upgraded in any way. I think you can do an air dash in this manner too.
Slide jumping is also useful.
And I think maybe placebo but you can probably digistruct, de-digistruct and I think essentially get 3 jumps in some cases. Quite a bit to lab out.

Despite my earlier praise, which still largely remains, the performance on PS5 is starting to grate.
The pop-in and shimmer is egregious. As are the texture loads. Think BoTW but worse. And the frame rate is ok, but the more I play, the more it seems to tank.
The game looks worse than BL3. I just don't get the point of UE5. It's so bad.

Thanks for sharing this; console impressions are harder to come by. Are you playing single player or split screen?
I'd only get this to play split screen with my wife on our (base) PS5 but I won't bother if it's a technical mess.
