Issues unresolved

Loading issues in DirectX 12 mode

The game may take longer to load or get stuck at the intro loading screen when the DirectX 12 mode is selected.^[26]^[27]^[28]

Edit the config file to return to DirectX 11^[8]
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `GameUserSettings.ini` in a text editor. Locate the `PreferredGraphicsAPI=DX12` line. Change it to `PreferredGraphicsAPI=DX11` and save the file.

Stuttering on high-end hardware

There have been multiple reports of the game stuttering on hardware exceeding the recommended system requirements.^[29]^[30]

Switching to DirectX 12 may result in better performance and reduction of stuttering, as well as better utilization of the CPU in combat on high-end hardware.^[31]^[32]

Disable Control Flow Guard^[33]

Search for "Exploit Protection" and run it
Open Windows Security.
Navigate to the App & browser control and click on Exploit protection settings.
Click on the Program settings header, followed by Add program to customize.
Add the program by its executable filename or by browsing to it.
Scroll down to Control flow guard (CFG).
Enable Override system settings and ensure the toggle is set to Off.
Click on Apply to save the changes.
Restart the system to allow the changes to take effect.
Some people will need to additionally change the game to DX11 setting afterwards to see the improvement^[34].

Block all network connections from the game to potentially reduce stuttering^[35]

Disables multiplayer functionality.

Go to the Control Panel, click on System and Security, then Windows Defender Firewall.
On the sidebar, click on Advanced settings.
On the sidebar, click on Outbound rules.
Under Actions, click on New Rule...
Select Program, click on Browse... and select <path-to-game>\OakGame\Binaries\Win64\Borderlands3.exe, then Block the connection. Check every box on the next page, enter a name for the rule, click on Finish.

Right-click the rule and select Disable Rule when it is no longer needed.

Use the `-NOTEXTURESTREAMING` command line argument to disable texture streaming.^[36]
Can significantly increase loading times.

Game freezing in Mayhem Mode

Having the Mob Mentality modifier enabled may cause the game to freeze.

From the Mayhem menu, reroll until the Mob Mentality modifier is no longer listed.^[37]^[38]

Menu cropping

The cropping issues affecting the menu screens at resolutions other than 16:9 have been addressed for the most part as of the latest game version.^[39]^[40]

However, Catch-a-Ride menu screens are cropped at resolutions wider than 16:9.^[41]

Use keyboard buttons to spawn a vehicle^[41]
Press `E` to select, `Q` to deploy, and `Tab ↹` to close the menu.

Some of the vehicle customization options are out of view at 32:9 and wider resolutions.

Temporarily switch to a 16:9 resolution through the Visuals menu within Options.^[42]

Black outlines thickness and removal

Adjust the thickness of the game objects' black outlines through a config file^[43]
Go to the configuration file(s) location. Open `GameUserSettings.ini` in a text editor. Locate `EdgeDetectionTexelOffset=-1.00000` and change the numerical value as desired between -1.0 and 1.99. Setting to `1.3` should result in barely visible outlines.

Remove black outlines from the game objects with a DLL injection^[44]

Unpack and copy the files from the archive to <path-to-game>\OakGame\Binaries\Win64\

Applies to the DirectX 11 mode only.
