First launch it hard noped after searching for downloadable content.

Disabling Steamy overlay did not resolve the issue.

Entering offline mode resolved the issue.

Ran stupid good, everything at 11
Cross-platform online co-op worked flawlessly for 104 minutes before it NOPED back the desktop with no warning.

Booted fine, even found my saves from when I played it eons ago at a LAN party except that wasn’t even a legit version…

Because I bought it in a steam sale a while ago but never installed it does this still count as a Linux purchase for Aspyr?

The damned thing found my old Borderlands 1 save on Steam cloud and gave me a bonus head for it. Runs stupidly well.

Everyone is getting that, regardless of whether or not you played BL1. As long as you have the game in your account, you get the bonus.

Was freezing randomly the first few times, didn’t crash at all just froze for like 2 secs and then resumed. Set my CPU governor to performance (constantly running at 2.4GHz on all threads) and it worked for 2h43m without crashing. I wanted to keep going but Nory persuaded me otherwise.

Asus VH236H 23″ 1920x1080p

it did crash at the first menu if i left it sit and didn’t choose any option but i noticed if i quickly hit continue or new game or options it wouldn’t crash. plays great except for a few minor stutters here and there, xbox 360 wired controller works by default as well. i am running the GL optimization command, capped it at 60FPS and enabled VSYNC. I think i am going to turn off texture something or other when I get a chance to see if that makes a difference and also make sure the CPU governor isn’t a factor.

don’t have the game but I bet it’d run.

Sounds like a cool game, I just don’t care for the graphics…… looks like an old 80″s saturday morning cartoon that was mixed with anime.

[Pedro Mateus]

Update from yesterday, which I only got today, made the choppyness disappear entirely.

But now, the panel is always above the game.

hmmmm your making me want to play this Pedro………. Bad, bad Pedro…….

Latest build makes /w the working.

game no longer crashes at main menu, they released a hot fix already for it. WHOOT WHOOT.
I wanted to check with others if the following made any improvements as far as micro stuttering or game pausing for a tiny micro second every once in awhile. This is in my steam launch command box
LD_PRELOAD=”libpthread.so.0 libGL.so.1″ __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 %COMMAND%
is that the correct command? I’m running an EVGA SC GTX 760 2GB with the Nvidia binary 343.13

[__eMpTy__]

I don’t know why you’d need to mess with LD_PRELOAD…
“__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 %command%” should do it.
