Borderlands 4 Patch Due Out, PC Performance 'Our Top Priority,' Gearbox Says

Vix, the Phase Witch? Super mobile, crazy damage—she's my favorite to play! And with u4gm Borderlands 4 items, you can really amp her up!

Patch did absolutely nothing to fix my Unreal Engine crashes 10 min into playing

Nice.
I had the same issue, consistently crashed every 1-5 minutes. Patches did nothing.

..Until I cleaned up with DDU and NVCleanstall (installed only the core driver, disabled everything else, to make sure)

Haven't had a crash in two days since...

Idk if that'll fix it for you, but just wanted to offer a tip.

I'm anxious to see if BL4 will overtake FF16 as the biggest, most trolling, most overblown thread activity on Gaf ever…there are so many people replying to the threads that clearly haven't even played it at all, and a lot of the negative activity has absolutely no relevant context.

You say that, but we've already had our fun

I can already tell that doesn't work for everyone unfortunately, i always use ddu before installing the drivers and i only install those, no app or other bullshit.

Game still crash.
 
I really really want to play this on switch 2. but that might be the stupidest decision i ever make.
There's something psychological freeing knowing the game always runs bad and accepting and getting used to that as opposed to worrying whether the game will suddenly decide the shit the bed on you.

(For the record I'm not getting it on Switch 2. I'll wait for a deep pc discount).

Hold up.

The game shipped without an FOV slider on console? It's 2025, isn't that part of every basic template at this point?
 
tbf most of the things he is talking about aren't even gearbox faults, it's unreal garbage engine's faults
Also putting Randy Pitchford's name there like it's his personal franchise or something. He has nothing to do with Borderlands other than being head of the studio that makes it.
 
And this is just another example of why buying games at launch is bad for consumers.
Anyone buying this 6 or 12 months later, will have better performance, fewer bugs, lower price and more content to play.

And a (likely) higher level cap.

I am no longer a fan of these cap raises. I hate that all of this stuff I have done is not getting XP.


But then again, do i really want to reloot all of my legendaries....?

One of the things I hated in BL3, was when I would make an awesome build, farming some specific weapon and gear, and then sometimes later, they would release a patch that nerfed half my build into oblivion.
This is another reason why I would rather wait to play the game, until they stop releasing patches that break meta builds.
 
Why wouldn't you use DLSS (especially in Quality mode?)
Agreed. the only time I don't immediately use DLSS is when I am on my ultrawide 1440p. I will use DLAA if I can.

I will use DLSS even if the titles doesn't need it.

Why? Lower temps and power consumption.


Although, I do like to see how a game performs without any upscaling.

It's good that they improved performance. Now they can focus on releasing garbage dlc for exurbants amount of money and then slowly fill the game with some much shit that it drags down the performance again and by then they've abandoned it.
