So, who's thinking about Borderlands?

I just got into a vehicle... how do you guys drive around?... it says "use WASD and mouse"... I can only use W and S for forward-reverse and mouse to look/shoot.

But there is no steering (left right).

Move your mouse left and right. Think of it like the Warthogs Halo 1 for the PC if you've ever played it.

I put this :

Bindings=(Name="F10",Command="FOV 90",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)

Under bEnableMouseSmoothing=true in the Engine.Playerinput section. I am running the STEAM version and the toggle works for me, it stays the same even when i get in a vehicle, go into a different section and after I am sprinting.

Try editing the WillowInput.ini then save and close and close the folder AND close steam and restart it then load up borderlands.

And of course change "90" to whatever you want your FOV value to be and your toggle key too...

That works for me, but it's pretty lame the game snaps the FOV back to default when you get in/out of a vehicle... I really hope they patch this.
 
i got pissed today. I preordered a copy of the game and was looking forward to playing it today. Well the company decided my preorder was'nt enough reason to ship at least 1 copy to the store so it could be a few weeks before I get it :(.

Sucks that it changes getting out of vehicle. When getting out in the middle of a fight I can't see anything and just start shooting everywhere :D

Maybe double mapping a button works? i.e. map "E" to fov also...

EDIT: does not work, just maps the button to the last occurrence in the INI for that button me thinks...

I've played around with "Autohotkeys" a bit and I think we could get it to press the use key "E, then delay (until we are out of the vehicle) then press our FOV change key.

http://www.autohotkey.com/download/

script which is supposed to work.. but not working 100% for me lol...

e::
Send, e ; (Default "Use" key for the game on the PC)
Sleep, 3000 ; waits for 3 sec <-- tweak to get perfect timing
Send, XX ; (where XX is your key to change the FOV)
Return

Anyways, I can't test it more right now, no time. But if anyone is successful please report here so I can reap all the benefits of all your hard work testing and tweaking a script.. :D
 
I gave up trying to change the FOV. I've gotten used to it now. I don't feel so nauseous anymore playing the game. Hit 19 on my Hunter. Played a Berserker and a Soldier each to 10.
 
You can double map a key to FOV. I have it mapped with my 'W' key so everytime I hit W to mvoe forward it resets my FOV. I found the command for it on the gearbox forums.
 
As mentioned before you can map your forward key to both move forward and FOV XX simultaneously.
Open the WillowInput.ini, find the line which binds your forward key (for most people this is W), and add: " | FOV 90" to it. (or whatever FOV you prefer)

It will look something like:
Bindings=(Name="W",Command="MoveForward | Axis aGas Speed=+1.0 | FOV 90",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,LeftTrigger=False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgnoreShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

anyone else think this game is insanely hard at times? Just finished getting the mine key... the only way I was able to make it out of the base was to pretty much run past people towards the exit (and even that got me killed 5-6 times).

tried fighting my way out, but the tough bruisers kept jacking me up. Not that I'm complaining... it's refreshing to play a game that gives a challenge.
 
What level were you? I noticed that level's really make a big difference, you can only really fight maybe 1 or 2 levels above what you're at realistically.

I went and fought Bone-head (who was LVL11 I think) and I was LVL 7 or 8... even in Co-op with my brother it took us a good 15-20 minutes of picking him off before he died. I ended up finding a spot inside the town that I could snipe from and he wouldn't shoot back, even then I had to keep hitting him in the head constantly to keep the shields down and actually do some damage. But then once we were LVL10 we went and found other LVL10 guys and they died much faster...

It's weird, but it makes sense I guess...

thats a good point. I think I was lvl 13

however, I noticed that the difficulty of the mission will change depending on your level (it will say easy, hard, normal, etc) and that particular mission said normal. At any rate, it's nice to play though a game where it doesn't necessarily hold your hand :) it's easy to get yourself into a sticky situation

Just don't grossly out level your missions like I did. I'm like 3-5 levels over my missions (lvl 33) and I'm rushing badass enemies with shotguns just to up the challenge.

I prefer the 360 controller because my residence is very, very small, and my computer, out of necessity, has been placed in a very small cubby-hole in my kitchen, with room for a keyboard, but not for a mouse - meaning I have to use a trackball for mouse control. The trackball actually rests on my thigh while I'm sitting on a stool.

The 360 controller makes my life ten times easier.

Which is why I'm asking: Does Borderlands support the 360 controller?
 
Well there's a known issue now for some AMD 4800 users out there. The game crashes for unknown reasons during game play. I'm experiencing it after 30 hours of zero issues, so I'm stumped as to what's causing it. Someone said the 9.11 betas fix it, I'm going to test it out and report back.

Ok...so far the 9.11's appear to fix this. You'll see the occasional missing texture when playing, but they're working well enough.

I got it last night via steam, all downloaded and everything.

But I've been too busy to check it out yet.

It's killing me!

Same here, I've been using a 4850X2 with zero problems.

(...watch, right after I post this Borderlands is going to crash on me. Life is always like that.)

Omfgahd. Are you shetting me. I kid you not, I just tried to launch Borderlands and it gave me a blue screen and restarted my PC.
I'll try it again and try to catch what it said.

- Edit Again
Just launched it, and crossing my fingers at the splash screen, I finally heard the cheering background and sighed in relief when the game loaded up; I alt-tabbed to tell you guys.
Hmmm, this time around I wasn't logged in via the friend's community in Steam. Maybe this affects something?

I have to admit thats pretty funny.




Damn I hate ATI drivers.
 
Borderlands was on my list, and then off it, after the horrific Brothers In Arms 3 fiasco - god that game was bad.

The developer's track record has been quite frankly abysmal as of late. But after reading all of this, I'd be a fool not to put the game back on my list again. When The Great Unwashed chimes in like this then you have to pay attention.

The new graphics turned me off, but I guess that the game must look better when you're actually viewing it on your own PC. The stylization kind of took me out of the game a bit.

Ah well, you shouldn't be too critical of a game you've never seen or played I suppose.

If I do buy this, though, it will be for the single player only. I'm just not an online guy. Too bad there wasn't a third person mode. I love third person games.
 
Man, with all the problems people seem to be having, I'm starting to really feel like my wife and I were better-off having gotten it for the 360 first. On a large LCD TV in HD, the visuals really cant be beat anyway, and the controls are excellent for an FPS on console. Not many games pull that off.

I think we'll just stick with the 360 version (we were originally planning on getting it for both platforms)... though I have to say, it seems far harder to find many other mature gamers on XBL, compared to line PC gaming.

Of course, immaturity is rampant everywhere, but only recently having gotten on XBL, it just seems like a whole different world of people.

That's because xbl is mainly full of kids. True story. Ok maybe not all kids but a large majority.

4850 here and zero issues. Latest official drivers.

btw, the old "ATi drivers sucks" doesnt apply anymore. If anything, it goes towards NV.
