Disabling the intro movie

This unskippable intro movie can get annoying some times, but it is possible to disable it.

Nevertheless, to do this:

  • Create a shortcut to the game on your desktop
  • Clck on it with the right button > Properties
  • On Destiny, after the "game folder" add -nomoviestartup

At the end it should look like this: "GAME FOLDER/GAME.EXE" -nomoviestartup

If you have the game on steam do this:

  • Right click on Borderlands on your steam games list
  • Click Properties
  • Click on Set Launch Options
  • Add nomoviestartup

Fixing Performance Issues

Some systems, despite exceeding the recommended specs, simply to 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:

  • Add "-dx9" to the command line (helps fps)
  • Edit the willowengine.ini file in "borderlands/willowgame/config". Find "vsync" and set it to True (helps with tearing)
