The Borderlands 5/19/15 Update Issues Thread

So after the May 19th patch my game has started freezing on a pretty regular basis. Before the patch I never had any freezing issues, but now it freezes about every 15-30 minutes of gameplay. It usually happens when I’m playing online Co op but it has happened in single player mode as well (it happened directly after I beat the Mark V on ultimate vault hunter mode and I had to do that lame ass boss fight all over again).

Ps4: froze 5 times in a row killing regular pete for the story in the torgue dlc. Cannot move past the mission. No freezing at all before update.

Is your game set to ‘online’? If so try setting it to ‘offline’: I’ve had a few freezes after the update, and they were all in ‘online’ mode (now the default).

Obviously this workaround doesn’t help if you want to play online…

Hello, first I want to apologize if I post in the wrong place , and I am not bilingual , so if there are problems in my English, I 'm sorry . I’m on Borderlands The Pre- Sequel on PlayStation 3. CL4P-TP level 70, and I am currently looking for 5 vault symbol on the map Motherlessboard. I found 4. The problem is that I spent 15H on this map , I found 6 places out of the map ( so I do not pretend to look :smile: ), but I miss him always a symbol vault . I wish to know if it was a bug, or if there has 5 vault symbol ?

My game freezes regardless of being online or offline. It never happened before the patch.

Well that doesn’t sound good at all. I’ve had four freezes since the patch (none before on PS4 - PS3 version used to freeze on occasion). All of these were in ‘online friends’ mode. I’ve had no freezes in offline mode (yet…)

yep, by default the games put us in online mode, and that seems to be where most these issues are still hanging out, Why was it changed to online as default now? no matter how many times I change it to what I want, I save quit restart, it defaults back to that d=m online and takes a bit to create a session, slow, laggy, thought that major patch was gonna fix things, not break others

The pre sequel on the handsome jack collection for ps4 keeps crashing. Its not often. But it happens at least once or twice every time i play now. And it never happened before the patch.

I’m having the same issue here. So far mainly in The Dust while farming tubbies both solo and split screen. I’m on PS4.

Patches almost always break something - it’s the nature of the beast. Unfortunately it can be hard for devs to recreate all the ways that people manage to crash a game!

I’m not a fan of freezes obviously (thinks back to trying to play Skyrim), but I guess I’m lucky that it’s only happened rarely, and in a mode that I almost never play. I play offline most of the time, so I’m only getting caught out when I forget to change the network settings.

They will fix this - another patch will be coming at some stage, I’m sure.

After the recent update splitscreen multiplayer with 3 or more players has been capped at 30fps. it was fine before but i dont see why after the update it would need to be capped. so for now my friends and i will just play it unupdated

yep, im sure eventually they might get it fixed, just a pain to have to deal with all the time.The fact it should have never been released like this in the first place doesn’t matter anymore, its here, and now, we just get to sit and wait for these patches to fix it so we can actually get enjoyment from the game. And I know patches to fix things break others, that why developers should do a lot better testing before release so they don’t have to play catch up

Another ongoing issue i have on my ps3 for TPS, is the occassional slowdown of my characters run speed and their not wearing turtle shields. This has happened with Jack, Nisha, and claptrap. Random occurences whether running on the moons surface, or in Helios. please look into.

One thing I noticed today playing bl2, same console, was farming for tubbies while in the Dust and decided in the small area on the ground below where you do the Volleyball net mission, theres a area there, where theres a couple bandits wi5h a goliath, i went to engage them and noticed something odd the goliath if lured away from his area especially after his helmet is knocked off will just stand there idle in the middle of the sand ranting doing nothing. I checked this a few times throughout that area several sections throughout that map its the same thing figured Id just let you guys know.

The update of may 19th said they added the poker night 2 skin and customizations to borderlands 2, yet i have not gotten these were they only for those who had them or what? and also i believe the last boss of claptastic voyage health should be lowered down playing it solo causes it to be way to tedious.

That’s funny because Turtle shields don’t affect movement speed at all. Fabled Tortoise is the only one and it also speeds up when depleted.

Yeah I’m pretty sure you only get those if you already had them previously. They were not ‘freebies’, as it were.

Hm i thought it was a mainstay of all turtle shields to slow down movement speed to one degree or another it just wasnt put into text. Oh well. None the less the problem exists, and it has occured on severwl characters and at several areas.

I disagree entirely. Eclipse goes down fairly fast and you can oneshot all EOS’ phases with a well-placed Flakker shot on Clappy.

(Or maybe the Flakker is just too goddamn good on a Boomtrap-specced Clappy, I don’t know. Considering that I’ve wiped out Denial Subroutine’s full shield and like 70% of his health in a single shot with it, that might be the case.)

To be fair, One Last Thing is overpowered and completely unbalanced. You can’t really use that as an example of Eclipse and EOS being easy to kill.
