Quad anarchy is best weap for Crawmerax if Siren....combined with a 60% damage/smg ammo regen mod.

Also i've killed him about 50+ times easily and no Pearlescent drops yet.

The 4th DLC is out Sept 28th, can't wait and level cap is 69 apparently.

You got a "+ Rare Item Drop" class mod on? We have 2 on when we play atm from Mordaci and Lilith

I did have but it vanished from inventory, didn't even sell it either lol but i noticed this has happened a few times before with my char and friends.

There's another bug in the game too where your mouse goes to extremely low sensitivity where you can only remove it by zoning and also Lilith has a bug where she goes 3rd person view when she dies yet you can't shoot at all or release. Oo

Seems though that 4 players Crawmerax is best for them too which i guess you are doing? i only do it with a friend so get less loot i think per kill.

Yea we do it with 4 players. Everyone starts to get bored after we've killed him 4 or 5 times in a row (And the entire lair floor is covered in loot lol!) though so people drop off.

I've done it once solo as Brick (Set him up so I get most of my health back on 2nd wind) and managed to get a pearl but I seem to be super lucky with drops... I found a Steel rocket launcher (Yellow) that does 3800 damage 0.o

I think that's what mine is doing! Did a reformat recently and put on the latest drivers (whatever are currently available on ati site, think 10.7) and about every half an hour or so the game locks up, I have to ctrl alt del out and back in, wait a min or so, then it all comes back....

With regards to the 10.7 drivers i discovered that (for me) the memory leak was caused by the foliage, i posted this on the gearbox forum a while back:


After getting Borderlands to work perfectly on an older driver, i was forced to update to 10.7 get another game to work and then began the crashing!

Earlier today i turned down all the graphics settings in Borderlands and began turning them on one by one.
It would seem that the foliage is causing the memory leak - setting the Foliage detail to Low slows the memory increase considerably, but only if there is a lack of foliage nearby.

If you go to the 'Middle of Nowhere' place in Rust Common East and stand with your back to it, looking at this view:



The memory leak is quite obvious and rapidly shoots up whether you have it set to High or Low.

When setting the Foliage to Low, I have noticed that when you go to a new area (load a transition), Borderlands resets the memory back to around 8-900,000K. Set to High, it does not do this and in most cases increases it instead.

The speed of the increase in memory usage is also determined by Texture Resolution which can be set using the Borderlands Configuration Editor

I currently have mine set to 512 and Foliage to Low and can play for quite some time without any problems..... so far about 2 hours.

... Just figured out how to disable foliage:

In the WillowEngine.ini file, find and change this from 1 to 0:

[SystemSettings]
FoliageDrawRadiusMultiplier=0.000000

And now...



There is no leak


Maybe this will help with 10.8 but i cannot use any driver above 10.4 as, when using ATI Overdrive the memory clock gets stuck on the 3D settings in 2D mode and makes the card rather unnecessarily hot.

Good research there Afraid I have since upgraded to 10.9's and a Zalman aftermarket cooler, so now no memory leak and no high temps

 

[Alex_6n2]

10.9s work fine for me too

Just a reminder to all here who play the game, 4th DLC should be available on Steam at midnight today if not during the day tomorrow.

 

[badcompany]

anyone else find its easier to play with pad as the whole menu is not very intuitive with m/k?

Good to know. I still won't play until they release the scaling patch though.

 

[Alex_6n2]

OMG DLC4 hurry up on Steam!

People are already playing it on Xbox 360

+1

 

[Sycho]

It's on Steam now.

 

[SeraphX]

just downloading it lol
well, i think i am, my router is flashing at me but my steam window hmmmm lol not so sure

 

[Paul_M]

For those that have the DLC, does it include the increased lvl cap?

 

[Evilsod]

I was wondering that, theres no mention of it on the page. Though tbh another 8 skill points on top of the 2 you get free would just be too much... you can already go through most of 2 lines.

No it doesn't. I've done the first few bits and you stay at level 61. Kinda makes me want to wait for the patch before doing any more quests.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Really need to pick up all the DLC in the next sale!

 

[Master_X]

Really need to pick up all the DLC in the next sale!

Me too, considering the retail copies dont work with steam

 

[SeraphX]

steam downloaded today some 14Mb for borderlands, cant find any mention of it anywhere, maybe it's the level patch increase? can anyone confirm

 

[ic1male]

The Steam forums says it's just the world map. Whatever that is. Is there a PDF map in your Borderlands folder

The patch is in final stages of QA testing.
