Gearbox has launched a new replace for Borderlands 4 “to assist enhance stability for a big selection of PCs.” Nevertheless, the developer failed to supply patch notes for the replace, resulting in confusion about what it truly does.
Borderlands 4 launched final week and hit a peak of over 300,000 concurrent gamers on Steam alone — a determine considerably greater than any Borderlands sport launched on Valve’s platform. Nevertheless, Steam critiques are ‘combined,’ with most of the complaints revolving round PC efficiency.
In response, Gearbox posted a Borderlands 4 Nvidia Optimization information on Steam, advising gamers how you can optimize their graphics settings for “higher efficiency and framerates” on PC with the Nvidia app.
Gearbox then issued a piece of recommendation to PC avid gamers that to me reads like an effort to stop gamers from making knee-jerk reactions to the sport’s efficiency as quickly as they’ve modified their settings: “Please observe that any time you modify any of your graphics settings, your shaders might want to recompile. Please preserve taking part in for at the very least quarter-hour to see how your PC’s efficiency has modified.”
Over the weekend, Gearbox posted on Steam to sign the discharge of a new sport replace in frustratingly imprecise phrases and with no patch notes, leaving gamers to attempt to work out what it did, and if their efficiency had improved. Because the Steam consumer overview score suggests, outcomes are combined, but that’s anecdotal proof at greatest.
“We hope you are having a blast in Borderlands 4. The crew is loving seeing you all taking pictures and looting your approach by Kairos,” Gearbox stated. “At present we’re releasing a new replace to assist enhance stability for a big selection of PCs.”
“There is not any patch notes. Is that this actually simply a weblog publish for an unhelpful optimization information?” wondered redditor wtfwasthatdave. “The patch didn’t repair my crashing points,” added PBKrunch. “Recreation runs horribly, nonetheless runs horribly after the patch and the individuals saying it runs high-quality are utilizing each body gen and tremendous sampling to attain their ‘frames,'” said drummerdude41.

Gearbox went on to repeat its recommendation to attend quarter-hour earlier than making any efficiency calls after tweaking settings, saying: “Please observe that any time you modify any of your graphics settings, your shaders might want to recompile; it could take as much as quarter-hour for this course of to totally full.”
“Thanks once more for becoming a member of us on this journey, Vault Hunters — we’re simply getting began,” Gearbox continued. “We’re persevering with to learn your suggestions, planning extra updates and could have extra particulars to return.”
