Disable mouse smoothing. Taco posted a fix on it earlier in the thread. It's like a whole new game without it.

Brilliant, glad I asked, thanks a lot. Kinda sad that you have to hack into the game like it's Quake 2 or something, but at least the options are there. And of course the game is awesome, so I'll suffer through some pain for that.

Skills I want that blue volcano =o

I've been trying to find a good sniper rifle for a while now. Everything I get has nice damage but no elemental effects =/

Lyth Oct 31, 2009 05:57 AM
I have that sniper rifle too. I just beat the game about 30 minutes ago ( I know, I'm slow ) and that rifle was still my main gun at the time I completed the final mission.

Probably going to start a second play through tomorrow, or just try out another character other than my hunter. I was thinking about Lilith, because in all the online games I've played in now, I've yet to see one of her >_>

Yeah, Sirens just tear shit up after they get to the higher levels. In my main group we blaze through enemies with two Sirens, one focused on the elemental path (phoenix is ridiculous) and another mixing up the controller (for dazing) and assassin (for increased phasewalk duration). I love these chicks.

Seems like that blue volcano sniper is fkn sweet for a level 20 gun, too. Awesome loot.

Hunters are invaluable against the alien enemies, I noticed. That ability to ignore shields and straight-up rip out their health is a godsend. Seems like the gunslinger skill path generally kicks ass, too.

Finished a second playthrough last night and the game kicks as much ass as it did when I first played it. Awesome times.

:(((((((((((((((((((((

Totally been called by animechanic over steam several hours before you posted. :(

I have a similar purple, a Vitriolic Sniper, that does Corrosive. I can get you that~

Hey Bigblah, if you can host a match or get a hold of me and tell me what server to connect to, I can give you my Volcanic Sniper if you want it. It's a pretty good gun, but I'm willing to part with it now that I have a few more snipers that can hold me over until I pick up another +4 elemental damage sniper.

But it seems most enemies are clairvoyant and know where I am before I even get there, so most of my time was spent running backwards frantically trying to shoot guys through the head.
Try crouching when you're rounding corners. It'll let you get one shot off without them seeing you. It is kinda annoying how they know IMMEDIATELY where the shot came from, though.

I'm using a Soldier now and it's way easier than when I was a hunter. I seem to be getting way better drops, too. Like, I had a better sniper rifle on my soldier at level 17 than my hunter was able to get by level 21. =\

If people aren't comfortable with using that Tunngle thing Grawl posted a few pages back, my friend showed me a similar thing called GameRanger. It's the same virtual LAN concept, but you can limit people joining your room with passwords and a friends only option. Pretty easy to set up, too, and it's in English!

GameRanger - play your friends online

I guess something you PC users might be interested in, I'm tempted to do it but I really hate font chosen, and there is only one other font that doesn't help any.

Here's a different fix that works somewhat better on the eyes.

Locate gd_globals.INT (resides in \WillowGame\Localization\INT\ of wherever your game will be installed, look in the Steam\steamapps\common\borderlands section for Steam users)
Open with Notepad
Replace

AttributePresentationTranslation="$NUMBER$ $CONSTRAINT$ $DESCRIPTION$"

with

AttributePresentationTranslation="<font size="10">$NUMBER$ $CONSTRAINT$ $DESCRIPTION$</font>"

There seems to be a hard-coded 5 mod limit for displaying though, as the zoom and critical damage increase are not showing, even if you open it up in debug console. You can change it to 14 size font then, as it will still allow 5 lines but make it somewhat easier on the eyes.

To think i almost threw that away.

Jurassic Park Chocolate Raptor Nov 1, 2009 03:58 PM
For anyone on the PC version, for some reason, booting the game today resets all your settings and ini tweaks. It's not the patch, so I dunno what the deal is.

So make a backup before booting, and then apply after doing so. I have to readjust everything now, how lame. :(

Final Fantasy Phoneteen Nov 1, 2009 07:24 PM
Jesus Christ, even though it sucks having no one to play with, I'm glad I got it for the 360.

Booted the game up again today and, as expected, nothing bad happened.

No. Hard Pass. Nov 1, 2009 07:25 PM

Um. Yeah, but you also couldn't go into the .ini files and change anything, anyway. Making this the most retarded console bicker I've ever seen.

Final Fantasy Phoneteen Nov 1, 2009 07:35 PM
Who's bickering? I'm talking about relief that I don't have to deal with random shit happening to my file when I turn the game on. Skills is a friend of mine, and it sucks that he and everyone else have to deal with this crap.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, Deni. It's not a thinly veiled attack on anyone or anything-- except maybe Gearbox for how they've handled the PC version.

The unmovable stubborn Nov 1, 2009 08:00 PM
The point Deni is making is that nothing happens to your game when you boot it up because nothing CAN happen to it because you cannot have possibly changed anything in the first place.

Skills' inconvenience derives from being temporarily reduced to a state from which you yourself cannot possibly escape. The PC version is bitched about primarily because it suffers from being mostly unchanged from the console version.

I mean, I have to steer with the fucking mouse

have we learned nothing from halo

Yeah the only thing that happened was Daylight Savings, since I was playing the game just fine today, and then when DST hit, the .ini files got "updated" and went to their original settings with a few changes to the iniversion variable... This also happened to a few other unreal engine games.

Nothing of any importance got updated though :(

I understand that, and it's sort of my point; I'm relieved I don't have to deal with any of this because they designed the game with a controller in mind, but it's stupid that these things happen to people who're trying to deal with the shit job Gearbox did with the keyboard/mouse setup. Seems to've cheapened a really enjoyable experience for PC users.

My relief is also in response to all the other shit that's been going wrong that people have been complaining about in this thread.

Um. They're the same version. There are all kinds of aiming issues with the console version.

Bigblah Nov 1, 2009 11:11 PM
Yeah, basically we're complaining that the PC got the same crappy version that consoles did. And yet the release got delayed by more than a week while Gearbox worked on a patch.... for consoles.

I know, I worded it poorly. You quoted it before I fixed it. They failed to address things that should have been addressed, like the crappy mapping to PC controls.

My favorite part is that they patched things that I haven't seen anyone anywhere complain about, and failed to patch the character breaking 0-point skill bug that a lot of people are complaining about. Good job Gearbox!

It's pretty disappointing how the PC version has been fucked up though, for once I'm glad I didn't get the PC version of something. I'm pretty much done with the game (as in I've beaten it multiple times and have largely exhausted it's content), and they haven't fixed the main bug on consoles and the PC version is still a mess of workarounds that still don't work for some people -_-.

Single Elbow Nov 2, 2009 12:59 AM
They still haven't fixed that zero-point skill bug? Jesus fuck.

Shit, all I want to do is power-level my siren, hunter and Brick, but I guess I'll stick to 50 soldier for now.

I bought both because I figured there'd be a good amount of people playing the game on both, so it'd give me a chance to roll with a bunch of you dudes who only went with one or the other. 360 version has given me absolutely no problems whatsoever with online. Not really able to connect up to a game on the PC is way fucking bogus. Hell, the only game I've actually been able to do on the PC is when Skills tested it on me just to see if it would work, and it finally got up and going after a few attempts, but bringing a level 7 berserker into the Rust Commons is not a good way to level that character.

So you're saying you're NOT going to get the Zombie Island DLC when it comes out here pretty soon? I'll still get it because I am a raging homo when it comes to DLC for games I like, but to announce it before the game is even released (I'm looking at Resident Evil 5's Versus Mode, Capcom :mad: ) is just poor form.

Nah, I'll get the DLC, I guess I should rephrase that I'm pretty much done for right now. I've got a Level 50 Siren with 50 SMG Profiency, 4 x4 elemental scoped SMGs in each slot, with a high damage SMG Class Mod that regens ammo faster than I use it. I've messed around on a cleared 2nd playthrough for about 10 hours with her, and while I'm sure there's slightly to moderately better stuff available technically within the game, I so absolutely rape everything it's kinda eh. I've also got a lvl 40 Hunter on a 2nd playthrough, and a lower level Soldier and Berserker as well. I'm still down for multiplayer whenever though.

How to see if there are more than 4 abilities on your piece of equipment?

More ini tweaks, that's how.

Courtesy of GBX's official forums, and the people there who very diligent in searching through their shit.

Gearbox Software Community - View Single Post - Way to see more than 4 bonuses per item?

Basically, you can now get 5+ lines to an item.

Not entirely sure if there are items with more than 5 lines. Some people in there are saying "yes I had some" but refused to post pictures, so I call shenanigans.

Here's some looks with different font sizes though.

and

http://i37.tinypic.com/5zi3jk.jpg

One fella in the thread says it might be cool to just set elemental mods font sizes to 1, since the icon represents that information anyway, and then set the rest to size 8, which should allow for more lines should items ever get to that point.

I like that idea and will play around with it later.
