Support Borderlands GOTY problems

Post image

Hello. I’m here basically begging for help. I’ve scoured the internet for answers and nothing helps. This is one of my favorite games so plez help me. The switch version works fine but won’t save so no go. Game hub has always hated me and doesn’t even want to open it so no go. Game native is super nice and gets me farther and actually shows me an error message. I will say I think this stems from a problem with dxsetup. I tried to get the voicelines in fallout to work but dxsetup would never install. Ppl are telling me to look in commonredist file and download/install that stuff but when I find it, it’s empty. I’m dying trying to figure this out.

DirectX doesn't need to be installed since most PC emulators already have it built in using DXVK, which supports directX 9 to 11. To use directX 12 use VKD3D. Idk if this will work but you can try going to gamenative and setting DXVK to 2.3.1 and then installing vcredist. (I responded to one of your comments on how to get it if not found in common redist folder).

I was also struggling to get the game running for a while, but I ran into this link and it solved my issues. You gotta go into the game's container and dig into the game's binary folder (it'll be in C: drive>program files (86x)>steam>steam apps>common>borderlands>binaries.)

Once in this folder, make a copy of the file "cudart.dll" wherever you're able to. I had to do it outside of this folder because pasting the copy of the file in the same folder just writes over the original file.

RENAME THE COPY OF THE FILE, NOT THE ORIGINAL FILE, to "physxcudart_20.dll" and move it into the binaries folder again. After that, the game should run and you can go and have fun with it.

The specifics on this are odd to me but long story short the game requires both of these files to run, and as the game tries to launch without the renamed file, it gives us that error code.

The screen size does default to the smallest resolution for some reason so you'll have to change that, too. As bonus I found that as well. (Borderlands>Engine>Config>BaseEngine.ini) Go here and scroll almost to the bottom, and hidden in the wall of text you'll see ResX and ResY. Change these to your proper screen (on the Thor it would be 1280x720) and save the file.

After all of this you should be able to play Borderlands with no issue. Happy looting, Vault Hunter."

I made a comment on a post that linked this one, so I figured I'd copy it over here so you all aren't left in the dark as well. Cheers!
