Thank you.
I just like to be helpful ^.^
I hope something in here helped.
I have a 1700 and 5700xt only I’m running Linux (POP OS) and was getting the same crash. Thought it was a proton error but thankfully I saw this thread and was able to solve.
Verifying integrity alone does not work. Deleting those files suggested in this thread and verifying so they redownload does however. The problem comes back at random but at least I can fix it when it occurs.
If your using linux like me the C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 3\Saved directory will be hiding inside /.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/
inside one of the numbered folders.
I’m having this error can and can’t figure out how to fix it if any one know I tried verifying it and reinstalling it I’m using epic game’s launcher for my game
Did you try the manual driver update for Rx series cards? Or the rollback to DX11? That combo seems to be rather clutch to un-forking it thus far.
How do you do the roll back and I have tried to do the drivers already
He means to change back to dx11 if you have it set to dx12. If you are unable to get the game open to change the setting there. You can change it in the config file.
Oh ok I never changed it to the dx11
Dx12 I meant
deleting gameusersettings.ini lets you get back into the game with dx12. Seems dx12 works fine until after it’s populated. However once you close the game you will have to delete the gameusersettings.ini again or go in and change it to dx11.
I get better performance with dx12 so i’m simply going to wait till a fix is available to start playing through because I don’t want to have to delete that file and reset my graphics settings every time.
Guys I got the soltution for starting at least playing, I was having the issue with my RTX 2060 Super, the issues is with DirectX 12, what you have to do is go to the notebook with the settings, usually on the next address on Windows, C:\Users(YourPC)\Documents\My Games\Borderlands 3\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor
Opens the file GAmeUserSettings
Then you change the settings on Preferred API from DX12 to DX11 and that will allow you open the game.
Hope it works for you.

Yeah, I went ahead and copied my saved game progress to another folder then deleted everything in the saved folder & after a reboot I copied my saved game progress back and it seems to have resolved the issue for now anyway

Hello, so a friend of mine got this this issue, couldn’t even get to the main menu. I was super sad boy and had him try everything you’ve probably read about this issue and no fix but then when I was trying to add borderlands to steam through "add a non-steam game I found a folder under C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\DirectXRedist with an exe called DXSETUP. Realizing this issue stems from DX11/12 I had him run this exe. When he booted he got an “Installing shaders” screen and now he’s able to run the game again. Not sure if this will last but for now it’s the only thing that’s worked short of reinstalling windows.

yeah a lot of issues with a lot of folk seem to be fixable with the swap down to DirectX11
my bud tried swapping between dx11 and 12 both in the ini and in game menu when he could get to it, never worked. Still has issues with frame rate now
nvm back to the same issue after updating graphics card, now we can’t re-run the dxsetup cause it says the most current version is installed. now we can’t get it to run at all. This is ridiculous. Can’t refund it cause he’s 2 hours over the required playtime. spent 100 dollars and got nothing for it.
Hello ,
I’m late to the show but the issue only appeared for me like a week ago. Before that I played hundreds of hours without issues (random crashing on specific levels, the regular with BL3 I suppose, but no messages and the game kept running fine)
Here is the message I got
I can’t get any clear info from it
I’ve tried everything I could find… updating the driver for windows 10, same for my Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060, verifying the game on Epic plenty of times.
I play on DX11, so I tried switching to Dx12 in game then changing back to DX11 in the GAmeUserSettings file. It still crashed.
I tried emptying the Saved folder, leaving only my profile.
Uninstalled/reinstalled the game.
Nothing worked.
The only thing I’ve been doing before the bugs is try some save files I downloaded from build creators, and it was fine, nothing special happened.
This is a stupid question, but could this issue come from my profile.sav? Like it could be corrupted or something with all the save switches I did for farming…
At least I got to enjoy the game a lot already but I want to keep playing , and mostly to be able to play upcoming additional content…
I’m really lost here and it’s very frustrating 
Any help please?

It’s a problem with the shader cache getting corrupt. Locate the following folder and delete the contents.
DRIVE\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Borderlands 3
The game will rebuild the cache the next time you start it.
