Borderlands broken for anyone?

I haven't played Borderlands much recently, but I tried to load it about 3 weeks ago, got 5 minutes in and it locked up, overloading all my cores and I had to close it.

Just tried 2 times a few minutes ago, and it freezes after the opening menu, clicking on single player, and crashes. I verified game cache through steam after the first crash, today, and it said everything was fine.

Thing is, these are the only times I have loaded the game since Steam auto-downloaded and installed that usage-tracking crap from Take2.

anyone have similar problems, especially after the more recent update? (they installed that logger, or whatever it is, about 2 months ago, I think?)
 
There was a thread about that recently...some people solved their issues by opting out of the logging thing.

it doesn't seem like I can, now, as it is already in there, somewhere, inaccessible. at least, I can't find any sort of option. I'll scour the game install files.

I scanned the steam forums, briefly, and didn't see this mentioned, though.
 
I played Thursday and yesterday without any issues. I opted out of that logger when it was first offered.
 
curses, I know I should have opted out. lol. I'm hosed.

I assume if I remove then re-install, I would have to re-opt again?

somewhat related--I'm thinking of reformatting the desktop in order to remove some BS shithole controller emulator software (MotionInJoy = Real Player-esque embedding junk).

Best way to backup the saves would be to copy individual save files externally? It seems that some games aren't cloud synced, correct? I don't want to do the complete backup through Steam, as that would take several days with my now-slow connection.
 
Mine works but I opted out.

I hope all of this nonsense means that they'll fix the FoV problems that plagued a lot of people with the first installation. Very fun game, especially with the DLC's which were packed with content but lethal on the stomach and the head.

If you wanna back-up your saves I believe they're located in Documents > My Games > Borderlands

You may have hosed your saves, hopefully you have a backup.

Fuck me in both ears. I think I'm hosed.

the only back up I made, I think, was before installing willow tree, and that was maybe 50 hours game time previously--that probably loses tons of progress and tasty guns on my Siren, a playthrough for my hunter, and all of my soldier.

🙁

I wonder what the chances are they will actually fix this BS? 😀

^ you might not be though -- do the steps to clean out the Dr. Zed shader stuff other custom files, then try running again.

I'll give it a shot at some point. The only annoying thing would be the loss of loot, of course. I wouldn't mind running through the game with a Siren, again...if only I could eventually have access to my gear.

...though I don't think I want to redo any of the Knoxx missions, ever. and especially Dr Zed. I dislike that DLC.
 
I've only done the Knoxx and Zed DLC once but I found some of it entertaining and other parts amusing (Shank's dialogue, Zed claiming not to just be Ned with a fake mustache).

I'd hate to do Knoxx again without the Oasis map mod though, having a single restart point made the driving tedious.

I haven't looked yet, but perhaps someone has updated the Zed shader stuff to work with the latest version of Borderlands?
 
I opted in - work like usual.

It's quite broken though, giving me 30 fps on my 6870CF rig because of dynamic shadows, but that's a whole other story - nothing to do with the update :whiste:

Looks good. Sadly I don't think I can run it smoothly on my 560. When I renamed the .exe to bioshock and enabled 4x AA through the drivers the game got super slow with dynamic shadows on, and I'm not about to turn those off...
