Notes

General Protection Fault / R6025 runtime error[citation needed]
|
Fixing Performance Issues[citation needed] Some systems, despite exceeding the recommended specs, simply do not run Borderlands well. Even after turning down graphical options, the frame rates can be much lower than would be expected. Taking these steps can help make the game much more responsive and raise frame rates significantly. If Borderlands is running poorly on an otherwise stout system, try the following:
Another known issue has been with the inclusion of Dynamic Shadows, for some users having this graphical setting turned on causes huge drops in frame rate, no matter the specs of the computer. Turning off this setting can greatly improve performance. |
Progress Not Being Saved[citation needed]
First Method:
Second method
|
Weapon stats visibility fix[citation needed]
|
Lockdown Palace crash fix[citation needed]
Do not alter Foliage Quality within the game settings as that will reset the edit. However, as this problem only affects Lockdown Palace, it is fine to allow it to reset for any game session that you don't plan to go to that zone. |
No Sound through headphones on laptops[citation needed]
|
Disable Microphone Array[citation needed] Go to the sound options (Control Panel/Sound and Hardware/Sound) go into the recording tab and disable Microphone Array. |
