Borderlands 4 developer Gearbox has said improving the performance of the game on PC is its “top priority,” with a patch due out today, September 18.

Huh. I thought this was already perfectly optimized?

All he had to say was “we are working on it, in the meantime, use some frame gen, or bump your res down. Our bad”. But no, he had to be a dick about it.

I’ll check it out when it’s under $5. At this rate, maybe next year’s winter sale? I have a rig that is reportedly already able to play it but I don’t pay full price, ever. Even games I really want, and this ain’t it.

Pitchford is the biggest enemy of Borderlands, why can’t he just shut the fuck up

Eh, I don’t think the series would be as bad if it didn’t have his coke-addled ass dictating which direction it should go.

Of course not. It’ll be mandatory DLSS and fake frame generation because that the future of graphics and game development.

I thought this was a “premium” game. Why should they optimize for the poors? /s

I really wish Randy would shut the fuck up, because it seems like the actual devs really care about this game.

I just spent 5000€ on a new rig to join the premium gearbox gamer society and now this?

It’s so funny that this was their mindset when it doesn’t run well on my PC which cost close to $2,000.

Randy is so out of touch he thinks people with $2,000 available in discretionary spend are “the poors”.

…but I thought performance was fine, why would something fine be their top priority? Pitchford couldn’t possibly have been talking out of his ass, could he?

What now it’s a priority? What about Pitchfords snobbish comments? Did their bottom line hurt?

Most people I know who are keen on the game are completely unaware of any of the the discourse surrounding it. It was probably minimal.

It’s not just stutters but also just general poor performance in the open world, such that I get about half the frame rate I would expect to see on high settings without frame gen. I wouldn’t be surprised if the optimizations here are like what happened with Assassin’s Creed: Unity where there was a bunch of detail that got sanded off of the world map in places that a player should never actually see it anyway.
