Randy Pitchford has continued his social media push to address complaints about the performance of the PC version of Borderlands 4, telling some disgruntled players they can get a Steam refund if they’re unhappy with the game.
Apparently the graphics are basically the same as 3, but performance is dog shit on even the best hardware and crashes are unavoidable.
When people complained, he said they need to use AI fake frame and upscale from 720. Which still wasn’t good performance.
It might get fixed later in updates. But this guy is handling so badly he might legitimately be mentally unwell. It’s at the point it’s weird he still has a job
That’s probably not the cause of the issues here though. Denuvo impacts game performance but not as badly as Borderlands 4 is seeing. The engine they chose has issues even on non denuvo games. It’s an unoptimized mess and then gearbox didn’t optimize any further themselves.
Out of the loop, is it a AAA game drama?
Yeah, so it’s just the usual

It’s got Denuvo running

Just your typical Randy drama you get at every BL release.
At least he didn’t punch anyone this time.
Nor did he leave a USB stick containing sensitive design data and camgirl porn at a Medieval Times
Things are looking up for ol’ Randy
The cam girl porn was the valuable bit. I sure as hell know nobody wants the Borderlands code
True, no physical punches just metaphoric ones to every gamer right in the genitals with his BS yet again.
Yet!
That AAAA to you!
