We had come CS work prove that through settings tweaks only being able to climb up to 120fps + on PC in BL4 with three and four year old hardware. Your mileage may vary, but please consider using the tools available to you to tune your own balance between FPS, resolution and

If you are running Windows 10, try enabling hardware scheduling using your graphics drivers settings. We’ve seen a lot of Windows 10 users get an immediate 25% to 50% FPS boost just from that as default settings in Windows 10 aren’t optimized for a 2025 game on modern hardware.

Another one: I play with volumetric fog turned off. I like the perf boost I get there and I personally don’t think volumetric fog adds enough to be worth it. Some folks on the team think it’s super important for visuals and in a few scenes, but it’s not worth the trade off for

If you have a DLSS option, use it! Especially if you’re trying to run at resolutions higher than 1080p. This is a campaign game - you’re not competing in a high stakes esports here. The input latency is so insanely negligible I would be that less than .01% of the population

@DuvalMagic Or just an idea here make your game look good without relying on ai upscale

@Colecypher Code your own engine and show us how it’s done, please. We will be your customer when you pull it off. The people doing it now are clearly dumb and don’t know what they’re doing and all the support and recommendations and code and architecture from the world’s greatest hardware

@DuvalMagic Lmao touched a nerve Randy?

@DuvalMagic You reacted so terribly ign and dexerto had to comment on this Jesus man lmao

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Why would anyone be daft enough to buy a game from this bloke's company?

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Randy stop being retarded, its clear as day the game is not optimized, you think anybody gives a fuck about those excuses? You sell the product, the product has problems, that simple, cyberpunk looks and runs way better than your game, 2015 witcher 3 has more dense and alive

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher How many fucking times is that alligator mouth going to completely fuck up any remaining good will over a legitimate optimization claim? No matter the latest software/hardware, it will not refute the fact the game is poorly optimized. You don't even use your own engine when you

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher I didn’t know URE5 was your coded engine…. If you were a real programmer you would figure it out and make it happen.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Hahahaha This fat fuck is spiraling on twitter because his product is shit. Frame it.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher instead of going for the dolla.. make sure the games optimised and ready to release.... You didn't make the engine either, you used UE5

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher "Don't believe your lying eyes. I am the expert" - Randy Retard Pitchford

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher But you didn't code your own engine..

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Well the funny thing is if more Devs had coded their own engines we would not have a whole generation of games suffering from all of the foundational issues of UE5 Also you get this is not all on your team right that the game is having issues? It's been very well documented up

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Higher spec requirements are understandable if the game runs well on those machines. Greater optimization is likely needed. People's criticism shows interest and desire for the game's success, so you should consider treating it as such.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Randy, some criticism is draining, but much of it is legitimate, especially regarding performance and optimization. You have a history of responding publicly in ways that come across as defensive or confrontational, often engaging directly with individuals instead of maintaining

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Wow, really? That's your reaction? Not a good look bro. This is a legitimate concern and reacting like a sensitive little bitch is not helping you.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher I understand that you guys worked hard on this game, and many people who played it and got it to work say it's a big improvement over BL3. But you should be taking this criticism over the performance seriously. The game just runs too poorly for the visual style on display.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher or... take criticism and tell him you guys are working on it.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher I don't care about your incompetence. It is bad, period.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher there is literally the UE4 engine you used for borderlands 3 that is close to 4, let alone other alternatives to unreal yet you used an engine you have no idea how to tweak settings on, reality is what you perceive and you're making UE5 look like steaming pile of dog shit.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher I have way more than what is stated as minimum specs on this bullshit and can't play past high graphic settings. This is a production problem, not a customer problem you tool.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Lmao bro you can’t even make your own engine fuck right off. You are simply using unreal slop. From what I have seen your game looks mediocre and runs like shit by 2025 standards. Games using engines like decima and rage are running circles around you.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher You're a f*cking id*ot, and we urgently need to fire you for the good of GearBox. You're unhealthy, toxic, and arrogant, everything gamers despise! As long as you're here, I won't give your company another dollar.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Your reply just shows how doomed today gaming indistry is, no money for you! Games worked fine for 20+ years, but now you all switched to corporate garbage UE5 and when gamers aks why games don't work anymore ans everything has 200ms lag even with 100 fps, you react like this.

@DuvalMagic Lmao randy you should just fuckin retire man, no one likes your ass anymore. Like genuinely what kind of response is this to valid criticism to a game. Acting like a god damn child

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher hey look, another retarded out of touch CEO denies responsibility to make something good and pushes blame onto the people that buy the product.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher What sad and pathetic response, seriously grow up, you absolute man-child, either shut up and maybe listen to VALID concerns and criticism or get the hell off the Internet, if the borderlands franchise were to die after borderlands 4, It will be because of your dumbass lil bro

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Randy shitford try not to be an insufferable piece of shit scumbag challenge (impossible, he is never winning)

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Fuck you, Randy. You're the entire reason I refuse to buy BL4 at full price. I'll happily wait for a sale or for it to come to GP. Sometimes, you just need shut the fuck up.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Randy Pitchford , a CEO releases a game with piece-of-shit optimized code because he simply doesn't know how to do it. And as a defense he wants YOU to let him know how to do it better. LOL What a mentality...

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Randy, you’re such a fucking prick some (most) of the time. A lot of people are enjoying your game, me included. Many of those same people also have fair criticism regarding the horrendous optimisation. Learn to take it and work with your team to release an improved product.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Get fucked randy stop being so god damn lazy and tell Sweeney to get off his ass and make the engine better

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Just like you don't have to be a chef to say a restaurant's food tastes bad, we don't need to code our own engine to say your's runs like shit.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Bro you're using another companies engine lmao are you Fucking retarded?

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Have some accountability on the ongoing performance issues. This game needs work. 70fps in 1440p native on a 5090 is not acceptable. I get 70fps in 4k native max settings in Indiana Jones. Are you telling me this game is more demanding? LMAO

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher idc bout your "sarcasm" , you made this bullshit with the epic's ue5, not your own engine and if i can make my own engine why i'm payin 80 euro for your shithole? if ur game is not ready for pc be a man and take your time, release later for pc

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher 1. You didnt code your own engine for BL4. You used UE5, an engine made by someone else, and still fucked that up. 2. The Finals. ARC Raiders. Embark, a brand new studio, with nonexistent funding compared to Gearbox, is out here making AA titles that run better than BL4.

@DuvalMagic @Colecypher Why would we do that, we are not devs. But you can just look what other devs are doing :) Just code better, your engine is badly optimized, using DLSS is not an excuse (and i'm a power user of this tech)
