Annoying crashing now. To be expected on launch, which is why I normally do not get games on launch. Made an exception for BL3, still worth it. Up til 3:30 playing and then didn't make it in to work, back to Zane!

The most hilarious thing is that 2 of my work colleagues , who were vehemently anti-Epic Games and swore they wouldnt buy from them, have this morning both bought BL3. I said this would happen, that when a title that people really wanted and got caught up in the release hype and positive player feedback came along, would cave in and do a swift 180 on their morals

Really looking forward to getting a 4 man up and running tonight to begin a playthrough ! , damnit 5pm hurry up !

Where do you work man? I've yet to meet anyone that owns a gaming pc let alone cares about the epic game store controversy.

We have A LOT of gamers in our company, its a global company, probably the average age of the workforce is late 30s to late 40s, yet we have a huge number of gamers.

Same here, 56.5GB!

Plenty of time for me to decide on a character!

I dunno, my Epic launcher said 43GB, I haven't checked the actual folder size as I left it downloading as I begrudgingly came in to work.

1070 Strix.

High preset - 45fps

Turn volumetric down to medium - 55fps.

Maybe it's time to start looking for a new card.... Sigh!

What res?

My laptop 1060GB is really not going to cut it!

Your cards are fine, I have a 780 at the moment

Having terrible framerate issues with this, my 2080 drops to about 50% usage and the framerate tanks into the 40s.

CPU is is about 30 - 40% usage to so it can't be that bottlenecking it?

All temps are fine to. Pity because I enjoy the Borderlands games. Will shelve it for now and see if there's a patch.

Just realised I've only played 1.4 hours of BL2 wtf, must have got lost in my stockpile of steam games, will wait till it comes off that epic junk store

Just ordered via Voidu, anyone got a 3700/3800x and a 5700XT playing this @ 1440p (even better if 3440/1440p) care to share their experiences with framerates?

My CPU is only a i5-2500k (with a GTX 1070 GPU) and with everything on Ultra , except for Volumetric which I have on Medium, I get 60fps average in 1080.

Now of course I know that I dont have a great CPU and I'm not running 1440p (something my gamer friends are always pointing out to me), but it looks gorgeous and runs really well at 60fps, so I'm happy

I must not have paid attention over the years because if I hadnt read in this thread that it was a different voice actor for claptrap I honestly would not have even noticed

Same.

Yeah seems to have sorted itself out now, weird that was now getting about 100 average

LOL, I'm on 1100+

Anyone else getting stutter?

Even when I lower settings down it's still there. I was playing coop last night and assumed it was the others guys connection but coming back on solo and it's still there.

I have tried dx12 but my game doesn't get past the loading screen.

edit: oh wait 10 mins to boot up in dx 12 game is now on. I will test to see if stutter is any better.

Double edit: stutter and framerate much worse on dx12.

Also this game seems quite buggy keeps booting in different resolution everytime.

Liking the gameplay and the levels. Combat is varied, it's good.
