AAA game? Performance issues and crashing on release? Why I never.

          It’s fine. The weekly free games are worth it. I’ve played some weird and cool games I would have never found otherwise thanks to EGS’ free games.

          You can use Heroic Launcher instead. And you get an Amazon Games and GoG client as a bonus.

          The secret is to use Heroic Games Launcher for EGS games. In addition to being a launcher for EGS, GOG and Amazon… It’s cross-platform, which EGS is not. Makes playing EGS games on Linux a breeze.

    And it still has the loss of focus in the inventory screen bug that’s plagued the game since the first one.

    I was watching a streamer playing this game on AMD 9800X3D with RTX 5090 GPU on 1440p and was barely able to get 100 fps. All the settings were on medium with DLSS Balanced turned on. This game is definitely not optimized.

    It is tiring that new games launch with such poor performance. But, good thing we have game logs to help protect us from this kind of thing. Should be able to just wait it out and pick it up later for much cheaper.

    I forgot they were even making this game. BL3 was kind of bad, the pre sequel was painful. The tiny Tina one was okay but weirdly had no ng+ and shitty dlc. Meh.

    One of the reasons being patent with games is worth it. In a year, they may fix the bugs, they may not. But the only thing you lose is a bit of time playing other games. And cheaper too :D

      I loved BL 1 and 2. Still haven’t played prequel, tina, or 3; might finally buy one of those next big sale.

      I’m big on the entire Borderlands franchise, played 1+2+3+TPS and even both Telltale story games. I’m still going to wait at least until it drops below $40 at the very earliest. I get the notion that we will start seeing sales on BL4 relatively soon.

    sigh… This generation of games will all suck because of Unreal Engine 5. I’m a patient gamer, I have plenty of unplayed games on my Steam library. I will not upgrade my video card because of this horrendous game engine.

      Gonna just remind everyone, or tell anyone who isn’t familiar… Gearbox’s Colonial Marines has a typo in an ini file that breaks the game’s AI. Gearbox was made aware of it after a modder found it in 2018. They acknowledged it by making a joke, then did nothing…

      That one letter typo is still there after 13 years.

          Yeah, if I remember right, the issue is that the typo breaks the system that tells the xenos how to behave in combat. They should use vents and try and flank you, but instead they just charge right at you.

          Still a ton of other issues with the game, but that was huge.
