Like many recent games, there are some issues upon release.

Hopefully, PC user can fix and use a workaround while console user are crying for help.

here goes:

Adjust FOV
Go to my documents\games\borderlands\willowgame

open willowinput.ini
add
Bindings=(Name="F10",Command="FOV 90",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
Bindings=(Name="F11",Command="FOV 110",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False)
add it amongst the other bindings, change the fov to whatever you want and switch it by the corresponding keys



to turn voice chat off (it's voice activated by default)
open willowengine.ini in the same directory

find bHasVoiceEnabled=true
change it to false and you wont be transmitting voice all the time(dunno if it stops you from hearing other people)

also make sure to:

bEnableMouseSmoothing=false

Because mouse smoothing is evil.



Problem hosting games (some people needed to do this, others, not at all.. weird.)

like many other online multiplayer games, requires that you forward a few ports if you plan on hosting a game. This basically means that if you want people to join your game you need to open up a path in your internet connection for them to get there, otherwise you'll be left to loot all by your lonesome.

But don't worry! This is a pretty easy thing to do!

First, determine whether or not these ports are already open
There are some cases where port forwarding is unnecessary, such as when you connect directly to a single port cable or DSL modem.

To test for this just click each of the following links, it will tell you if the port is open or not.

7777
28900
27900
28910


If the ports were closed, we need to determine what kind of router you're using
You'll need to find the model name of the router or router/modem combo you're using. This shouldn't be too hard. Usually, the internet comes in through your modem (box connecting to the wall either through phone line or cable line) and is then passed to a router which sorts and distributes your internet connection to the computers in your house. Go find the latter, turn it over, and look for a brand name and some kind of model number (Ex.: Linksys wrt54g, D-link DI-804). Once you have that go to this link and locate your model:

http://portforward.com/

Follow the instructions provided. The ports you need to open are:

7777 (TCP/UDP)
28900 (TCP)
27900 (UDP)
28910 (TCP)

Once you're done click each port to test if it's really forwarded. Bear in mind that sometimes it takes a minute for the router settings to apply.

ya, didnt know the ports last night and had to put router in DMZ, i hate doing that. thanks for the info Con.

Well? Is the game worth a shit or not?

Don't make it DMZ D:

Edge found me a weird ass workaround and it works liek a charm now, i join/host game, everything, pm me!

i just played this game for about 3 hours and didnt even realize it. soooooooo much fun. its the diablo ive always dreamed of.

work around? i just opened those ports to the PC im hosting to in my LAN.....done. works get.

Well? Is the game worth a shit or not?

The ending is bad, but then again if you play this for the storyline, it's sad.

Solo is a bit easy, the more people ingame the tougher it gets, gota coordinate attacks and call targets and whatnot.

Played solo and in a 2 man party, it's a blast so far.

Edge found me a weird ass workaround and it works liek a charm now, i join/host game, everything, pm me!

Please explain

I've only been able to join 1 server and cant host. I have the ports fowarded and still no luck? Cool game though.

Lol actually there's a rather easy fix people just realised.


Launch a SOLO game.
Invite friends.

You're done.


if all else fails, I had all ports forwarded too, and somehow it wouldn't let me, edge told me to try the folowing :

Get/Launch Utorrent
Option/Preference / set port to 7777
Apply
CLOSE THE APPLICATION

boot borderlands / host

Did that and I was hosting games in the minute


An official fix is coming up soon

Whats everyone game spy names so I can add friends. Trust me you want a badass lilith on your team.

I'm a 23 brick , a 12 lilith and a 9 mordecai

entity has a 17-18ish soldier

Jeeze. How many hours have you guys already put into the game? Leveling and play through that quick and easy? I need to pick the game up today.

heh fucking matchmaking what a joke

xD Con, the reason why the Utorrent site doesn't show that its open was because you didn't have an application to pick it up with. Thats why I had you use Utorrent to prove that it was really portforwarded before just trying a game. =]

how the fuck much time have you been putting into this game D:

hes been playing it non stop since it unlocked...lol


I just picked this up at Best Buy cause Amazon is delayed until the middle of Fkin November....

From what I see, there is no DM or Team DM mode in this, just coop as multiplayer. Is that correct? If so then FFFAAARRRKKK!!!!

i bought this game last night with my new HDD and since ive had this problem:
http://www.hl2dm-university.com/forum/p ... 157#p62157
I had to take it back so I could use the money towards whatever I have to replace. Oh well. By the time I get the game everyone will have reached lvl 9000.

From what I see, there is no DM or Team DM mode in this, just coop as multiplayer. Is that correct? If so then FFFAAARRRKKK!!!!

Ya thats correct but it is one of the more fun SP games I have had in awhile. There is however PVP arena in MP which is kinda like a 1v1 duel.

Yea but no TDM, oh well. Yea I will play the SP anyway, since I do like SP games for the story and all that.

up to 4 man(or woman) coop, not every good game has to be a standard MP Para.

Im not saying its a bad game cause it doesnt have TDM and DM. I was hoping it had it for other reasons.

we played some 2v2 today and it was really fun though. there needs to be more than the one arena though. and you just have to make sure everyone is around the same level.

There are more arenas as your progress through the game

sir_edges lvl 43 Sniper

how the fuck much time have you been putting into this game D:

Level 50, took about 3 days of grinding. xD I was bored.

Is the level cap 99 like in Diablo? That would be funny.

copying a player(for if you want to play with other ppl with your character but still have a copy left behind for your normal foursome)

go here:

C:\Documents and Settings\chem\My Documents\My Games\Borderlands\SaveData

copy the character you want
rename if you next available save number
open borderlands
go to the nearest naming post and rename. (dont rename in notepad, it tends to corrupt the file)
i then fire a few rounds just to make sure this character has an updated weapon cache

bewklety lvl22 hunter

bewklety lvl22 hunter

lewl now like level 32, i'm going to start up a powerleveling business xD

Some people tested some weapons over and over and found out why oranges sometime appear to be shittier than greens/blue/purple...

A weapon can have up to 5 stats, the game as it is now, only shows 4 lines, and those 4 are sometime used to the weapon description.

Example of what the stats of a weapon should be:

Annihilate 'em bandits
10% ignite
-20% recoil
40% crit damage
20%faster reload
Regenerate ammo

And what it is ingame now:

Annihilate 'em bandits
10% ignite
-20% recoil
40% crit damage

Amo regen and reload speed are two really good mod, yet you dont even know they are there.

to fix it, make the ingame font smaller (they really needed to be smaller anyway)



Go here and open it with notepad and change the first line after general globals blah blah blah to look like below

[General.Globals GlobalsDefinition]
AttributePresentationTranslation="<font size="10">$NUMBER$ $CONSTRAINT$ $DESCRIPTION$</font>"

Nice tip, I was wondering about that myself.
Thanks

Can someone help me with forwarding the ports? I forwarded them through Windows Firewall. I am not using a router.

you dont need to "forward" ports if you're not using a router. forwarding ports mean you're opening ports on a router or similar device and pointing them to a specific LAN ip adress. if you are just using windows firewall all you need to do is open the ports needed. it sounds like you have already done that. some ppl are having issues even with the correct ports open, check the steam borderlands forum for some tips that have worked for ppl. hit me up on steam tonight if you still cant get it.

Not necessarily true.

If you have no router and you are wired in right to your cable modem, it just depends on if your cable modem is using NAT. Many cable modems do these days and if so your ISP will have to open the ports on the modem unless they let you have access to it, my isp does not. When I talked to my isp about this they suggested I get a router and they will disable the NAT on the modem and I can control the ports myself. Before borderlands I never had a need to do this so the 4 port cable modem had worked just fine.

well, i see what you are saying but even then they are not really "forwarded" they are just opened. unless ofcourse your isp askes you which LAN ip adress you need them forwared to. not sure, ive never used one of those router/modem all in one things. these modems you speak of have different wired ports on them?

Is this worth buying?

Is this worth buying?

Um, yeah. I love the game. It's a lot fun, but unfortunately I can't host. The reason for why I bought the game is now pointless. I'll just have to level up by myself and come pwn AI nubs with lower levels.

TF2 still seems more fun. You can do this with a demoman. (For those who weren't aware)

what about prop jumping and phys haxin in hl2? Tiggyboard sawblade flying anyone?

Sorry but Borderlands kinda looks like Boringlands.

Anyone know if borderlands is huxley with a different title because I'm almost certain they're the same game.

i just don't wanna drop money on a game that doesn't have replay value.

Dont think so, Huxley was supposed to be an MMO and it was done by a different company.

No, Huxley looked like it had alot of replay value, this isn't the case. Borderlands is for people that enjoy singleplayer games in general. Wich I'm a fan of. It's just more awesome that you can play it online. If you play it for the "mp" or "looking leet" you've been misled and shouldnt play this game.

If you want a leet game get TFC.. oh wait :l no one plays it anymore... except for this sunday >:D

Didnt say anything about looking leet, but from what I've seen (and of course this is my opinion) it doesn't look too exciting.

Didnt say anything about looking leet

Then what`s the point of playing MMO`s if it's not that fake feeling of superiority?

guess i'll stick with street fighter 4. my te fight stick should be arriving tomorrow. if anyone else plays hit me up my gamertag is blast562 ^_^

Just installed today and have a Lvl 10 Siren and a Lvl 6 Soldier.

for me, obviously, its not about being leet. its about playing against other humans rather than AI. thats the aspect of multiplayer that appeals to me most. the dynamics of human intelligence and skill.

Most MMO's dont require skill, they require you a ridiculous amount of time.

Whoever has the most free time is most likely going to be this guy on top aswell.

look, let me sum it up for the ppl on the fence. this game is nothing short of awesome. tons of quests, loot and new weapons around every corner. the game does a really good job of individualizing each class as far as their skill tree and weapon specialties. the skill tree and weapon upgrades make leveling up super addicting. i fell in love with the graphic art style from day one and never once felt like they should have done it different way. plus, you can do all this with friends. overall i would rate this game a 95/100. there is a reason ppl are hooked on this game and a reason ppl who have beat the game are playing it again. Con gifted me the game, but i bought it for the wife, and its the best game ive bought in years. the only 2 draw backs are the issues some ppl are having with hosting(which can be resolved quickly with a little research) and the fact that if you join a game where the host has done quests you havent you cant complete them. BUT if you host the game you can play with that friend and do the quests. in other words the game is host specific. i havent talked to anybody who thought this game was a let down. BI is a little upset with the game cause he cant host, but that is because he is in a situation where its almost impossible to do it, thats not really the games fault. they prolly could have done a better job with auto opening host ports like l4d did, but, even with that said, the SP is just as awesome.

If you have problems with hosting like i had you should try gameranger. Its free, very easy to use and works without forwarding any ports.

Completely agree, this is one of the first single player games I have enjoyed in along time, the MP is just a bonus if you can get it to work.

My only big issues is when people edit their files, such as if i were to edit a weapon and give it parts it wasn't supposed to have then host, it will corrupt peoples game saves at random times. Another issue is that because everything is stored locally, there will be no PVP that is really worth anything. (So it loses PVP to the Diablo series by far.)

I'm on some forums with people who have one level 50 character and their second characters close to 50 and who have played through twice already, starting a third time. I too gotta wonder how long replayability will last, I'd assume after the 4-5th time through itll start to get old? lol

but diablo was entirely about who could hack the best.

Ok, so I beat the game twice now. Once with a lvl 39 Roland and once with a lvl 28 Lilith. I can't see myself playing through the story again though. The missions are already repetitive and boring. And the game is so freaking easy once you realize you can just run past everything. Bosses are easy so there's really no incentive to level up.

Try playing in a party of 3-4 the game has coding that says, per player the game gets 100% harder, if wanted you can host and make it 6x stronger too.

I guess Im just not a fan of single player games period. Never really have been as the majority that I have played have just sucked. In fact, Half Life 2 is about the only one that I can recall that I can still say, shit I'd play that again for sure. I've played AI long enough, multiplayer is where it's at. Couldn't agree with impala more.

im just wondering why everybody is rushing thru the game? im not finishing it until im the highest level possible and have completed every quest, damn it!!!!

Yea I was hoping to play through it with some people, but by the time I got it installed, they had already finished it at least once. I really wanted to experience the coop and explore the game with other people, not following someone that already knew where everything was, what had to be done and when all the enemies were gona attack and "quick leveling" through the game just for the sake of leveling as fast as possible. So now I am playing the SP by myself which I am told isnt as good as the coop.

awwwwwww, you need to jump on the boat sooner next time, just think of all the haters Columbus left behind. and the SP is just as good game play wise as the coop. but you dont get the "l4d" experience.

Yea but I dont like to download games, I want to buy the disk. I ordered it through Amazon and it didnt ship on time for some reason, I think because they didnt get enough in stock to ship to everyone. I ended up cancelling the order a week after it came out and bought it from Best Buy, but by then some people were already at level 40 or whatever and its not fun playing as a level 10 with people that are level 40. Its like farting in the wind, your shots dont do shit.

why would you want a disk that can get scratched, lost, stepped on, eaten by the dog, when steam can store it for you? silly girl'

Have to agree 100% but the only valid reason I have heard from anyone is that they want the ability to sell the disk if they don't like the game or no longer want it.

We have discussed this before and its not silly at all. My disks never get scratched, lost, stepped on or eaten by the dog. I have never lost a music CD, movie DVD or game disk. I take care of them and when Im not using them they go back to their home on the shelf. I also dont lend them out to people because I have gotten burned that way with books I have lent out. I dont want to have to redownload 20 fucking games whenever I have to reinstall windows or a drive dies, or whatever. It takes 10 minutes to load a game disk where it takes hours to download a game from steam. I dont want to sell them really, I just dont want to have to redownload them all again and again. I can reinstall all the games I want in an afternoon whereas they will take a week to download. I want to play them, not watch a download bar. To each his own. Also if the governor of NY has his way, he is going to tax DLC so thats another reason to have a disk.

I moved all my contents over to my external hard drive. It took me twenty minutes to copy the 60 gigs over. I also didn't have anything to put in or take out. (That's what she said.) If you aren't going to sell them, do this.

Yup thats what I did a long time ago which is why I said only valid reason is if you want to sell your game.
