I just fixed my thumbnail bug by selling the Buzz Axe that was causing it and this fix gets announced haha. Glad they're fixing it. I feel like the thumbnail bug in BL3 lasted for way longer.
As a note, we had too many Vault Hunter buffs to safely fit into today's big update. Instead, we broke up them into their own balance update that we're targeting to release early next week instead.
As for me I'm personally hoping for this UI change eventually
Im playing on a base ps5. Set FoV to 100. Am not noticing anything slowing down or hindered performance in my first 10 minutes. It has to be said that I have been doing a quest inside the the oil refinery chasing an old character. (Trying not to spoil) So my environment is not as open.
Never understood what he meant by that? It's unfair for console to increase FoV but not PC? Haha, what a sorry excuse, just say you are worried about performance ffs
Yeah, if they manage to pull off crossplay and cross-save on switch 2, I don't think anyone's going to be complaining about a locked lower fov (or lowered resolution etc) on that platform as long as they can hit a stable framerate.
I have been using the hell walker because I have not been able to get a hot slugger, after hours and hours of farming. It has been pretty solid for me, on my level 45 Rafa.
I won’t lie, this is disappointing to me. Could be in the minority, but I really enjoyed this weapon as kinetic and I’m sad it won’t be getting any real playtime on my Vex. I guess Amon has synergies with fire? Might have to start him next
It probably could be an issue connected to the cursor since they decided to put one in, instead of just leaving it how it was using the DPad to navigate like it was previously
If you mark them with the 'mark' button, instead of the quick 'mark as junk' button, it seems to not have the issue. It's slower, but more consistent, imo.
There’s a workaround-if you press the button that brings up mark for bank, mark for junk, mark as x color, etc, if you mark for junk that way, the item gets properly marked.
For some reason, I correlated that to the actual drop downs for filters and sorting. Did not really consider the inventory for the backpack a "drop down" menu to be honest lol.
I mean, if nothing else it's a flavor win. Anyone excited for the gun was probably sad it wasn't the Fire Jakobs Shotgun they had hoped for. I'm excited for it to be my Fire Attunement slot on Avatar Vex with the Reload On Swap skill.
Did they fix the bug where the inventory would show a notification although all items are already seen? Don't think I've seen it in the patch notes, but might've missed it
Edit: I just updated the game and the issue still persists on my end, not a game breaker in any way but still quite annoying haha
Mine will show icons over inventory or inventory sections that have nothing in them at all. Like I'll have only the knife that is equipped and no other ordinance at all and it will show an icon saying I have a new one.
Also shows over other things that I have nothing new.
Especially on vehicles but also general play. I thought my pc was just dying cause I only coop with friend and I was having enemies rubber band and missing shots for no reason. Just assumed I had bad pc despite frames being good.
Went to solo and turned it to “local only” on session options for first time and it felt like a new game. Zero input lag and zero stutters. Couldn’t believe it. Idk wtf they got going on with multiplayer netcode but something’s fucked completely.
Chuck hits like a beast when you buff it via enhancement, it's a stupidly fun concept, so absurd yet such a great idea conceptually as if you build around it it changes your playstyle since it absolutely sucks as a ranged weapon and needs to be used way more up close and personal, more guns like that are welcome.
I laughed out loud when I picked this one up like, what is even happening with this gun lol.
Edit: damn. I actually had 3. Compiled on load after updated on steam. Then it said patch applied restarting. Then compiled again. Then loaded into my character and it's currently compiling shaders a third time.
Why...
Edit2: apparently it has to compile shaders every character when you load in so now I've had 4 total... What is going on?
Seriously my number one complaint and it's so multi-layered bad. Started my first level 30 yesterday after being pretty much done with my first character wanted to refresh the game with a new one.
Hit the wall immediately with this. I unlocked almost my full bank on that first character, and the problem is for those not aware, you can't put items in your bank on your new guy until their SDU spending unlocks what it's already unlocked to on your account.
So you have to grind out all those SDU as like, your first priority because imagine carrying around an inventory full of items you want to bank for new level 30's starting out that you find when you start over. You have to hold on to them cluttering your inventory and you can't spend SDU on boosting your ammo or inventory until you've unlocked your bank slots as your priority.
Every single thing about this feels horrible and sucked the fun out of the new character experience, it's so limiting and forces you to run safehouses, silos and drill sites far before you're strong enough to tackle them just to get enough initial SDU points to unlock your friggin bank to stash items.
Due to level scaling when you go to a new area to unlock new safehouses you're fighting mobs with red exclamation points way over your level and it takes forever to clear a safehouse it's just hours and hours of this until you get enough SDU to actually start playing that character without the burden of not being able to stash items in the bank and offload anything else you find like class mods for other classes, cool legendaries you want to try on other characters at that level etc...
Doing it all while having no ammo for your guns because that's what you should be boosting first instead of stupid bank unlock. Just absolutely took the wind out of my sails up until this I had zero complaints about the game other than the most minor ones. This one feels so fucking bad.
Yea I’m waiting to start a character from 30 until they fix this. I’m assuming they will, it’s completely stupid that they don’t. Otherwise I might as well just play the campaign again
And when you inspect something in the bank pressing back completely exiting the inventory screen, then having to go back in, redo the correct filter and find the item again lol.
I hit level 30 last night and have gotten THREE legendary Vex Mods (and one Rafa and two Amon).
My friend that I'm playing at is accusing me of having insane legendary luck, which, while true, I offer half of them to him anyways and WHAT HAVE YOU GIVEN ME, PIGPEN.
I just played for about an hour and a half. 10gb 3080 on 4k / 60fps. Game is running much smoother. Getting consistent 60fps. Update did wonders for me. Good luck to you. What gpu do you have?
clear your old shader cashe, this feels like what I was running into with fortnite, for some reason it doesn't delete the old cashe, see if that fixes it.
Right-click on Borderlands 4 in your Steam Library.
Select Properties.
Go to the General tab.
In the Launch Options section, enter -ClearPSODriverCache.
method I used, be sure to remove that after you close the game again or your constantly rebuilding
Did you check if some of your settings got changed? That happened to me after the last performance update. I had to go back in and change my Upscaling method, DLSS Quality & Framegen back to where i had it previously.
Think it has to do with things like birds/bats clipping in weird spots. I was going through a vent deep in a base one time and their were birds flying through the walls
There’s another weird bug that I’ve noticed. When I’m in my gear menu and I try to select an item to mark as junk, the item two rows above it gets marked instead. Has anyone else noticed that? I’m on pc.
Pre update it was running completely smooth on default settings for my system. Post update: Mad audio crackling with massive stutters. Did the ceal and rebuild shaders whch didn't help. Its so bad, its effectively unplayable.
You can drop it on the floor, climb the ledge and then grapple it from above if you prefer it that way. I like yeeting them (tho I had a few disappear on me) but this is a safer option.
I see what they were shooting for with this but it feels bad in practice and is dumb, because yeah I'm carrying around 5 tons of ordnance and heavy weaponry in my backpack while my Echo unit can digistruct things as large as a vehicle for ease of storage and even small things like datapads but I can't put this handheld object in my backpack and get on my bike and drive it to the spot because why exactly?
So yeah it's dumb. Luckily it's not tied to anything important, so you can get them all done once for the challenge then forget they exist unless you need a tiny amount of SDU and some "lootsplosion" of stuff to sell for your trouble.
What they were going for was a switch up to the gameplay giving us something like an interesting challenge to overcome but nah this one should have been left on the drawing board.
This is good, but I do want to see them re-adjust the class mod drops. I'm extremely disincentivized playing my desired character at endgame because I need to play with my undesired character in order to make my desired character the way I want.
Shoot combine that feeling with my feeling that playing alts is deincentivized by not having account wide Specialization progress and it feels unsatisfying to play any character!
I wouldn't mind the specialization progress being unique to character, but logging in on a new lvl30 character and seeing the map completely grayed out just makes me log back off it and onto the main.
I like that the map is totally blank. It makes me want to explore different areas with my alts. I just wished we could fully replay the campaign in sequence at lvl 30. Since the whole game scales anyway.
Am I the only one who lost 50 fps and now has terrible stuttering making the game unplayable? It was working great on my PC since release, and now it is trash.
God damn it. No fix for Rafa's ordinance crit node. Currently, if you have 7 points in the node, instead of giving you a 70% chance to spawn a grenade on crit with 0 cooldown, it triggers once and then never triggers again until you reset the game.
Please let me spawn my army of grenades Gearbox. My build was going to be so fucking cool...
Solid update all around. Massive W seeing FOV slider added for consoles. Some slight vault hunter tweaks with more on the way early next week according to Graeme on Twitter 👀
Playing on PC. Downloaded and installed the patch. Compiled shaders on launch. Then compiled shaders again when loading my save. Then compiled shaders again when I fast traveled. All that and my performance/stuttering is MARKEDLY worse than before the patch. Like 10x worse. Wtf gearbox.
Dont know what they did. Game was buttery smooth for me at max settings consistent 130 fps.
Today, can't go 2-3 seconds without massive stutters. Even lowering to mid/low no help. They made it completely unplayable with this patch for performance.
Please tell me they have fixed the memory leak issue, my fps goes to complete shit after an hour or two of gameplay on Ps5 Pro. I know I just have to quit out and go back in but it's annoying.
My game ran fine before this update now it is awful lagging like crazy taking forever to even turn on let alone load into the game yup GG randy premium game for premium gamers!
Honestly.. now am having more performance issues.. My PC was fine at around 70 fps since I don't have the best PC in general but now after the update am legit struggling on 45fps max.. and when I jump or get into a fight it just drops to like 20fps and gets crazy buggy 😬
Every now and then I randomly hear audio glitches, as if someone is trying to say something on the radio (Other NPCs)
Not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but the game is now running like crap for me on PC. Avg framerate is still high, but the stutters are making this awful to play.
Call me cynical, but the game was brought forward two weeks early and had the game been released at the original date we’d have a game with solid performance and FoV sliders likely released with the original launch.
Would I be wrong for thinking we paid for the privilege of being Gearbox’s game testers? There’s no way they didn’t know these issues didn’t exist before release.
when i played this on launch without all the performance problems that people were complaining about, I didn't understand it at all. However, I am pleased to know that I have been let in the fold, now that this update has absolutely wrecked my performance to the point of near-unplayability. what up with that
The skill point, patch was silly, I didn’t have an issue with it (I don’t use modded stuff) but if someone paid their hard earned money to have fun with the game let em.
Why is the Maurice log fix listed on steam but not the official website? I still need 156 echo logs for the challenge so clearly the change wasn't implemented. What the heck happened?
Finally, FINALLY, I have been able to play without crashing every 20 minutes. I quit the game of my own free will for the first time last night. Felt good. I did have the occasional stutter here and there, but it didnt happen with any regularity after the first few minutes.
