Widescreen Gaming Forum

The other thing that I noticed (sorry, no screenshot), is that if you get bumped offline, the "Connection Lost" message is wither enlarged or positioned partially off screen (might be both :P).

I'm seeing the same stuff you guys are with surround.... the game works for the most part but some menu items are super zoomed. bummer.

It's kinda funny when the games that actually advertise that they will have surround capability and when they are released, they are either nowhere near it or only a few bits work. Then you have games that don't boast any support and work straight out of the box. It's kinda disappointing.

Ugh, why is the "Hud H. Bounds" option limited to only 85, I need it to be lower. Does anyone know of an option in an .ini file to force it to be lower?

I'm using 4:3 screens and the hud gets cut off, also the menu is not 3 x 4:3 monitors friendly. The game assumes i have 3x widescreen monitors and the parts of the menu are on the left and right screen.

I was wondering if anyone else was having some FPS issues here.

running 2x6950 2GB.
5670x1080
Texture quality medium, AF off, FXAA off , and Ambient Occalsion, off I'm getting a jerky 40fps. If I turn crossfire off it's 20fps

at 1980x1060 everything is maxed out smooth silky 60fps.

Anyone else having issues?

I know that AMD recently released drivers with XFire support for Borderlands 2. Aside from that, is there any correlation between the fps drop and your GPU usage?

Thanks for your quick reply!

I have the newest CAP profile.

Max Usage during BL2 are GPU1:74%, GPU2:87%. Should there be such a difference between the 2? Both cards are the same clocks peed and at stock clocks.

TBH that sounds like a normal variance for AMD crossfire, as far as I know. I did a quick search and found this BL2 performance guide:

2# Borderlands 2 ATI FPS Fix
If you are experience performance issues on your ATI video card, download Orochi-CEG and you will definitely see a boost in performance.

There are a few more things listed there that you can try as well. I know that Phsyx can be run on the cpu and it was an issue with Alice Madness Returns and AMD users suffering performance issues. Make sure that Phsyx is disabled via

My GamesBorderlands 2WillowGameConfigWillowEngine.ini > [SystemSettings] > PhysXLevel=0

If you find that it keeps being enabled even though the launcher says it's off, you will want to set the file to read only.

I checked the configuration ini files and I couldn't find a direct reference to that option in any of them sadly. What I would recommend is that you complain here: http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=147295

I would also recommend you changing that value in the game and look at the configuration ini files to see if any of the values change that are identified as HUD, it will be a time consuming task but it's all I can think of. Here is the location of those files: My GamesBorderlands 2WillowGameConfig

The weapon size is the correct size, as-in it's the same as in 16:9, doesn't go Vert-

So if you do believe it's incorrect, then it's incorrect even for single monitor users, in reality it's more of a user preference thing - in borderlands 1 it is vert-

The only problem I see is one of the same problems that arises in Borderlands 1 after it's been fixed (funnily enough) - and that is the shadows shimmering and disappearing (it's caused by high horizontal fov)

Hi HaYDeN,

Do you happen to have any plans to do a similar no-FOV change tweak for BL2? Sadly a lot of us are getting motion sickness again from the constantly changing FOV when sprinting/fast-traveling/turbo boosting just like BL1. Even with the FOV slider up at 110 or so. I really wish Gearbox would include a "Disable FOV Changes" option. I loved your BL1 tweak...until the game was patched and broke it. Anyway, sorry to pester you. For now I am forced to play in 1280x1024 on a single monitor, which for some reason doesn't make me sick. And now I will continue lurking.

Thanks i'll try that, might have to find an editor that compares files to see what's changed. I've just started playing online, changing resolutions to be able to do things like join etc, and just noticed that the chat worse than what was in the 1st Borderlands, it's practically all chopped off, i can just make some of it out on the bottom left, such a shame lol.

edit: I just checked the files using HxDen and it's file comparison mode, I made a copy of all those ini files beforehand and after I changed the one setting. All the files remained identical so the setting isn't in there. Perhaps it's something inside some other file or windows registry.
