Bl4 is on a “mixed” assessment Steam reviews During the first few hours, and some players say that they returned the title because of the breakdown of problems, penniless performance and even inability to go to the beginning of the game without a failure.

Those who can play the game are so far elated, with improved gameplay and a recent location in Borderlands The universe to discover. However, it seems that some common problems prevent many other experience of what a recent continuation has to offer.

“The game is Buggy like Hell after release,” said one review. “The game crashed during the sequence … After that, the game did not even load, claiming that” Steam must work “(it was). Steam verified that the installation files were good. I deleted the saved game, and then the game loaded, but I came back to 3440 × 1440. I chose a window for a full screen and the game crashed. The game was launched again and she returned to the right mode, and then crashed, trying to choose the character (I skipped movie cutscenes to get there). Not a good start! “

Another reviewer said that the game has “terrible optimization” as “another victim of Unreal Engine 5” and said that “it is not worth buying in the current state, unless you have a NASA computer”.

I had Bl4 For several weeks I experienced a wide range of performance problems on my aging computer. Last week, my power supply died, and when I replaced it, the game began to work smoother. After today’s patch, starting in some specific low settings, it is as polished as always for me.

My only suggestion is to launch the game in the lowest possible settings and work from there, but I can also share my current settings as an example of how I got it efficiently for me. For those who crash are huge Yikes and I hope that there are some stains of stability on the road.

We hope that the premiere of the console this evening is much smoother, because there is a great game inside Bl4 If you can run it correctly.
