Performance issues
Fixing Performance Issues[9] |
---|
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. |

Game freezes in Lockdown Palace (General Knoxx DLC)
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
- Some laptop users struggle to make the game sound through headphones when they have laptops with built in microphones.

Go to the sound options (Control Panel/Sound and Hardware/Sound) go into the recording tab and disable Microphone Array. |
Issues unresolved
Crashes on startup (Windows XP)
Some users, after having installed and successfully played the game on Windows XP, experience a standard "Borderlands has encountered an error and needs to close" message after some time. There are no known solutions for this problem.
