The Official Borderlands 2 Thread

ya, some of the missions are god awful long. one of them I died and the checkpoint was so far away that the enemies had respawned at the beginning.
 
I'm definitely noticing that the pacing is odd. Long stretches with no save points can be annoying when you only have a few minutes to play.

Please get in that thread and vote "yes add vertifcal FOV slider." Thanks!


Texture pop in:

Navigate to My Documents > My Games > Borderlands 2 > Willowgame > config

Open Willowengine.ini in a text editor.

Find [engine.engine] and scroll down until you see

MipFadeInSpeed0=0.3
MipFadeOutSpeed0=0.1
MipFadeInSpeed1=2.0
MipFadeOutSpeed1=1.0

Change MipFadeInSpeed0=0.3 to MipFadeInSpeed0=0

and

change MipFadeInSpeed1=2.0 to MipFadeInSpeed1=0

This correct?
 
I am annoyed by the lack of fast travel areas more so than the check points.
 
And whats up with everything running away as soon as they kill you so you can't get second wind? God damn spring stalkers are a nightmare.
 
So easy to cheese/cheat things in co-op, and while I generally frown on cheat sites, I for some reason don't feel as bad for using them when I figure them out on my own.

I feel the same way usually, but we LANed this game up yesterday and we abused the 99 GOLD key cheat so we could get purple loot =)
 
Added a GTX 660 for hybrid physx. Big difference. Pushing 62fps easily with occasional dips to 40s.

Enjoying the game overall, just haven't had much time to get into it yet. Still a lowly level 10.
 
lvl 11, enjoying the hell out of this game. Can I play with random people in co-op? My fps seems to be perfect in this game, but wonder if it'll drop some in multi
 
So I noticed they vastly improved the use of sniper rifles over the first and this makes me happy. Anyone notice this?
 
Since this is a DX9 game I'm going to have to see what ye old faithful FXAA Injector from Skyrim might do with this, too.

I haven't had the best luck with the slot machines...got a lot of crappy guns, some blues that were mediocre and ONCE hit the Eridium jackpot, which was pretty cool. Starts pouring out of the machine and you get a dozen or so.

As for Michael...can't find him either. I think he's bugged on the PC, I've heard of a lot of PC people not being able to find him. Hopefully they fix that soon.

I read that he's supposed to be rare, but on the xbox360 he's bugged for almost the full first half of the game and consistently shows up.

I say if it isn't cheating or breaking the game, the post it. Like the gold key thing was sort of a way to break the game but this just gives you some arbitrary stuff that doesn't change anything.

True. I just tried it and it does still work. I guess I will post it and a mod can decide if it's appropriate.

Go to

steamapps\common\borderlands 2\dlc\popremiereclub\lic

find your willowdlc.ini file

look for the line +UnlockId=2

and replace with

+UnlockId=1
+UnlockId=2
+UnlockId=3
+UnlockId=4


You get some type of grenade mod, head skin, body skin, and the creature slaughter dome

why would you run an injector when the game has FXAA built into the GFX options?

yes i did. no perf hit that i can tell. i'm running a GTX670. I noticed my VRAM went up a few hundred MB, but this game runs less than 1GB anyway and it's a 2GB card.

What AA mode did you choose? I tried 4x MSAA and didn't see any difference visually.
 
Anyone getting Check Point lag? So far as I can tell, it might be post-patch, AMD-GPU related. Those in my group with nVidia cards are not getting any hitching/freezing when passing check points (it's up to almost 3-4 seconds now for me and another on AMD GPUs).

Tried everything. Lowers settings, matching settings, doing the texture pop setting change. Updated drivers and reinstalled all the redistributables.
 
GTX460 is sure showing its age. But alot of the goodies on high w/ physx is @ 30fps.

Glad it isn't just me! That fucking thresher killed me like 6 times, the sorry bastard would just one hit me. I finally managed to cheese him by getting him stuck behind a cargo container.

What kind of drops are you guys getting? I'm level 20 and I've NEVER had an orange or a purple drop, not once! Even blues are extremely rare, it's starting to kinda piss me off. I had at least five oranges and several purples by this point in BL1.

Oh man, it's like the Diablo 3 thread all over again.
 
Yeah, I'm feeling you too, I certainly don't want to see an awesome gun every time I open a chest, but one or two here and there would be nice. Not really getting many rare/powerful at all.
 
I find it almost better if I don't find extremely good guns. When I do I end up using it 99% of the time.. for 10 levels.
 
How is the game for SP play? I played the first game offline 98% of the time. I assume this works just as well?
 
The game is absolutely phenomenal IMO... art design is incredible, world is absolutely huge, with a lot to find and you can go anywhere, level design is true artistry like everything else, variation in environments is excellent, enemy variation is great, visuals are amazing, the PhysX effects are incredible and I've never seen a game utilize PhysX as much as in Borderlands 2 or as impressively... everything about the game

However, the "87 bazillion guns" is more like "87 guns", as it turns out, ha ha. There are not as many chests around, and coming across good guns is extremely rare.

But, my wife and I have finally hit early 20's in level, and now we're starting find really good weapons and shields. So, I'm thinking that maybe it doesn't "kick-in" until early 20's and beyond. Now we're find good guns more and more frequently.

I'm also using a mod that gives 5% chance of finding higher-end loot, so that might be helping now more as well.

Oh, and if you don't just blow through the main campaign, this game is definitely going to be around the 60hr mark, as was initially quoted in one of my earlier responses.

If you take every side quest, which is worth it and actually sort of needed in order to level up in order to be high enough to not get killed every two seconds, it's definitely a long campaign.

I've dropped 35hrs so far, am only level 23, meaning that in a good way, because I'm assuming there's the ability to reach much higher levels before "playthrough+", which I think is proven through the fact that I still have not finished the main mission, and still have a shit-ton of side quests still left, with more still to find.

I don't know, but all around I've got to say, the game is incredible and incredibly designed and the over all aesthetic is incredible...

...just needs more guns, of all things, ha ha.

MSAA won't work. SGSSAA will. Did you set the AA bits in Nvidia Inspector? This is what mine looks like.

I tried that but it really didn't look any different to me. :confused:

Also, is there a reason why you are forcing driver FXAA? Do you not use the in-game?

I got killed a bunch of times by Dr. Mercy...he kept annoying killing my Sabre Turret in like 2 hits and then spamming homing grenades.

Those fucking full-body shields are cheap as hell. Is there any way to destroy them?

What level are you compared to him? You might have to level up some and come back later. Or you could try to lure him to your vehicle and rocket him down.

Using 6950 here and am getting no checkpoint lag here.

In fact, the only time I even know there's a checkpoint nearby is that the V flashes.
