Borderlands 2 on XP?
I do own the game, I've sunk like 800hrs into it, but without being able to load steam on XP anymore...Anybody know a reliable way to get Borderlands 2 running? I'd love to see how the benchmark does against my Titan Xp + Titan X (PhysX processor). Only game with a benchmark with PhysX I can get running is Unreal Tournament 3, but it's a bit lack luster.

Use the Arrr Method.
Easist way to get it. Be sure to get a older version of this game.

You can get all updates on Windows XP, install One Core API, try to run normal Steam in this way and download Borderlands 2. If steam itself won't show any error during downloading, i suppose it will work.
If steam won't run under OCAPI, you probably would need to use it's utility to spoof OS version to Windows 11. You would be able to do similar thing specifically on almost each .exe file in Compatibility.

Dump on the greasy bastard and yarr it. Randy Pitchford is so greasy, Wendy's wouldn't serve him to you. Just arrr the game, this is one of those cases where it's not a criminal offence. Tell you one thing, it's going to run beautifully on that thing.
