Im not entirely sure, Im thinking guardian rank is saved in a .sav file (for pc anyway.) I am looking into how to fix it on our end, but I have not come up with much.

I wonder if we get a refund, uninstall, repurchase the game if the Guardian Rank etc would remain?

No thats not necessary. It can be fixed.
The game threw me to 1883 guardian rank…

Well I fixed it but theres a catch, have to start completely over. Go to …
- C:\Users\ (your user name) \Documents\My Games\Borderlands
- 3\Saved\SaveGames…
double click SaveGames…find file with large number…double click that…delete every single save in there…
Start new char…game fixed
So that’s basically deleting every character & deleting all the progress towards Guardian Rank right?

Yup…only way ive found so far and ive tried EVERYTHING
I’d start from scratch but the fact that the game still has a ton of other perfomance issues just makes me not want to play the game anymore
In my opinion it is stupid to start from scratch 2 char on full eq which I farmed and spent so long on it, waiting for the patch to come out
Thing is, that patch might take a long while to arrive. I haven’t seen them aknowledge this problem anywhere. I even sent them a ticket about it and they just ignored it or are taking too long to answer.
But this is enough to change the amount in the file responsible for guardian rank …
Because I don’t dream of farming again 2 charakt … and doing full map to 100 %
Ye if only the files weren’t encrypted and we could actually see what’s what…
They just released the game recently, what they don’t know where are the endgaming files now xD
Im saying about we manually doing it. But that’s not possible, for normies at least like me, since the files are encrypted. I’ve sent them a ticket about they manually reducing my Guardian Rank and the reply was:
Thank you for clarifying your issue. Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done from our end because we do not have such privileges. Good Luck 
Let me know if I can help you with anything else.
Thanks,
So fking funny XD . I didn’t pay $ 125 for that

You can all wait for a patch…that may never come, ever…bc it seems to have effected only a small percentage of ppl. Or, you can fix your game, power level via co-op and get back to close to where you were after 15-20 hrs…of fun btw. It sucks and we shouldn’t have to but thems the breaks.

This should not be a thought for a fix. Killing progress in a game just because a micropatch on the devs end. They need to find some way to get this again patched. I was talking to a Volunteer Mod for this tech site last night and I hope that pushed this in the direction of recalling the micropatch he stated might have been the cause.

The guy from 2K I dealt with was good, went through the standard scripted emails which you are obliged to reply to; and after uploading a vid of the issue it’s been escalated to EPIC. I’ll report back as soon as I hear anything but I’m hoping this is sorted soon as I’ve lost one day of the weekend already.
I wouldn’t mind starting again but after over 100 hours of play time I have got all the weapons I want etc… don’t fancy doing that again. Will just quit and ask for a refund.
That would be disappointing for me, the game is awesome.
