What works
Not much, installation fails


What does not

Installation. Most components appear to install correctly, but when I run the game it keeps trying to install the visual C++ 2008 redistributable. The installation window then closes, and the game does not start. No visible errors


What was not tested
Playing the game.


Additional Comments

Steam install stuck at "Must install steam service for this version of windows". Switching to wine to XP mode got around this, and allowed most of the components to install normally.

How to start the game without the launcher

The borderlands lancher is not working with wine. But to run the game, it is this application that steam starts first. To work around the problem, do the following:

Create a file named steam_appid.txt with the contents "49520" (without quotes).

Put this files into the Steam/steamapps/common/Borderlands 2/Binaries/Win32 folder

 Then, every time you runs the game, first runs steam, and only when steam is running, start the game by running Borderlands2.exe (in the Steam/steamapps/common/Borderlands 2/Binaries/Win32 folder)

error code 2
by kham on Monday April 29th 2013, 12:16
I can't get this game to work. After downloading it goes to "completing instalation", gets stuck at 1% and gives error code 2. I didn't create the steam_appid.txt as it was already there when I went looking. I tried running from steam, borderlands2.exe and launcher.exe. Launcher.exe gives "The entry point method could not be loaded", from steam or borderlands2.exe I can't see any error message, just a lot of fixme:volume:GetVolumePathNameW in the terminal after which is just gives error in steam and closes. Installed in clean prefix twice, used winxp and windows 7 for default, and applied directly to steam but it doesn't work. Googling the error specifically in steam only gave me an idea that is has something to do with permissions but nothing on how to fix it. I tried with wine 1.5.22, 1.5.28 and 1.5.29. Same results in all of them.

If you have resolution problems
by Mahdi on Monday April 15th 2013, 7:23
If you have any resolution problems, you can fix it by editing configs file in your ' My Games ' directory, Borderlands 2 -> WillowGame -> Config -> WillowEngine.ini

Change these lines:

StartupFullscreen=true
StartupResolutionX=Yours
StartupResolutionY=Yours

Game runs, but very lagy after Nvidia screen
by David K Harupa Jr. on Thursday February 14th 2013, 21:25
OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
GPU: ATI Radeon 57xx
Wine: 1.5.23

Thank you for your help before, The game now runs and I make it to the menu screen. However, the game is very lagy and this error is constantly happening in terminal:

err:d3d:state_pscale >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_VALUE (0x501) from glPointSize(...); @ state.c / 1593

Game Starts, but I don't see the game.
by David K Harupa Jr. on Thursday February 14th 2013, 0:34
Wine - 1.5.23
OS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

I have done the "how to" to bypass the launcher issue. Steam is always opened first before running the "Borderlands2.exe". The picture of the 4 playable characters shows up, the screen goes black and then I see my OS GUI in a smaller resolution. I am able to move my mouse and nothing is frozen or laggy. Steam says I'm currently playing Borderlands 2 but I can't see the game. I am running the game with a virtual desktop, and I have tried many different resolutions.

Won't launch
by Ren Bedell on Sunday February 10th 2013, 12:26
I added the txt file as instructed but the game still won't launch from Steam or the borderlands2.exe file. I do not get an error, just nothing happens. I notice when I verify integrity of game cache, the borderlands2.exe file always needs to be redownloaded.
Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks

Wine - 1.5.23
Ubuntu 12.10

Problem
by Joseph Williams on Sunday January 20th 2013, 3:52
I originally used PlayOnLinux to install Steam on a Mint14 install, Borderlands 2 just kinda worked (after the file tweaks).

I copied the config/prefixes/PlayOnLinux over to my new Arch install and again it just kinda worked.

Im not a fan of how POL handles a lot of stuff so I went about creating my own prefixes and a common program install directory linked to drive D:\ in Wine so I could switch prefixes/wine version easily without touching the games/steam.

I used winetricks to install steam in the new win32 prefix and copied the steamapps folder over. Booted up steam which worked as expected but Borderlands 2 wont start anymore.. closed steam and opened the PlayOnLinux steam, Borderlands 2 is doing the same thing so I've managed to bork something.

Here is the output of debug (warn+all) starting from when I select play on Borderlands 2 in Steam. > pastebin.com/SUWNbppK

I looked through it and installed various things via winetricks for some of the missing files (I assume it found them elsewhere anyway, but I was out of ideas).

Anyone have any clue? I even removed some packages that I installed recently as it seems to be prefix/wine independent now and therefore perhaps system related (also tried wine versions 1.5.10-1.5.22)

I also deleted and reinstalled Borderlands 2 via Steam in case the files were botched.. nothing changed. As I said it was working before I tried to do it manually, so the appid and file renaming was/is done.

Theres no crash or error displayed, the steam "launching Borderlands 2" popup displays for a split second. My icon turns green as if im in a game and turns off again after a second and steams sitting there looking at me wondering what im waiting for.

Stats:
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 3.6.11-1-ARCH
RAM: 4611 MB / 15967 MB (28%)
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2500 CPU @ 3.30GHz

Regression?
by jitsumi on Monday December 31st 2012, 1:30
Does only me have a regression with the 1.5.20? I have a error message about the dsound.dll. Apparently they changed the implementation of this dll....

New 3DM crack...
by McDude on Wednesday December 12th 2012, 18:07
There are new 3DM cracks with fixes and DLC support:
bbs.3dmgame.com/thread-3384716-1-1.html
Latest is v.10 which seems to be the 1.2.2 equivalent.

Sadly, I'm unable to install it since I don't know Chinese. When I unrar the installer (230mb torrent found on isohunt) and try running it, I get an error and it doesn't decompress using 7zip. Google translate suggest it's necessary to copy the installer to the binary dir but it didn't do much for me...

If anyone in here knows some Chinese, and can work out the process, please give this crack a shot and report back your steps or even upload a crack only to overwrite the SkidRow release.

Don't know about you guys, but just this one Christmas, I want NOT to return the gift I've got since it won't run on Linux :(

Game runs ungodly slow
by aleks litynski on Saturday November 24th 2012, 11:38
I've got the same resolution problem everyone else seems to have. I can handle that. The game even seems to start up. The 2k logo and nvidia logo play fine. Then, when the copyright info is displayed, everything slows to a crawl. 5 fps, max.
When the game starts to check for dlc, it gets even slower, and never moves past that screen.
Am I doing something wrong here?
I have a radeon graphics card that seems to be working with catalyst drivers and I used playonlinux to install steam initially. I think it installed wine v.1.5.10.
Any thoughts or advise?

Game quit working immediately after posting test data.
by Matthew Taraschke on Friday November 9th 2012, 8:31
OK, here is the deal. I got the game working flawlessly and even played it online with some friends for 5 or 6 hours. I know the game CAN work perfectly in wine, but for some reason it just stopped. I did a clean install of my OS, installed wine, did the same tricks everyone else does to get it working "add steam_appid.txt, use borderlands2.exe instead of launcher.exe, etc", but for some reason it crashes silently. When I run it at the command line, I get the following error:

$ wine Borderlands2.exe
err:module:import_dll Library X3DAudio1_7.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\matthew\\.local\\share\\wineprefixes\\steam\\dosdevices\\c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Borderlands 2\\Binaries\\Win32\\Borderlands2.exe") not found

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anything I can check? Any tips would be awesome!

How frustrating...
by Matthew Taraschke on Wednesday November 7th 2012, 1:43
1 day after I got the game working perfectly and submitted test data, I rebooted my computer and all of a sudden it doesn't work any more. When I launch the game now, borderlands2.exe doesn't even stay up long enough to show up in TOP. Nothing has changed, I don't understand. Tried reinstalling the game, no-go. About to try reinstalling Steam AND the game. If that doesn't work, I'm going to completely reinstall wine, steam, and the game.

Catalyst and Borderlands 2
by Dan on Saturday October 13th 2012, 20:14
So when I launch the game under radeon drivers (after building mesa with --enable-texture-float) I can run it, albeit at severely limited framerates. When I run it under Catalyst 12.8, the game window is launched and you hear the start of some audio before it freezes completely, requiring the program be killed off manually.

heap problem
by Benjamin CARAYON on Friday October 5th 2012, 18:44
Hi everyone,

I've installed Wine 1.5.14 with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64bits.

vcrun2008, vcrun2010, xact, xact_2010 and XAPOFX1_5.dll are installed. When I try to run Borderlands2.exe (with Steam running in background and bypassing the launcher), I've got this error :
fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0
and sometimes a file called Borderlands2.exe.XX.STEAMSTART is created (with a random number for XX) in Binaries/Win32

What can I do ?

Launcher
by Felix Hellmann on Friday September 28th 2012, 6:31
Best way to Disable the Launcher:
Set the launch options inside steam to "-NoLauncher". There will still be a window that crashes but the game will start regardless.

Ways to Increase Performance
by Echo on Monday September 24th 2012, 13:45
I've applied a few tweaks to the game and I've gotten some pretty solid performance out of it. (Only very, very, VERY slightly less than on Windows.)

My rig:
Intel i7 920 @3Ghz
Geforce GTX 560Ti
More RAM than I need (24G)
SSD

Tweaks:

- Disable FXAA
- Turn Antistropic Filtering to 8x
- Turn Draw Distance from Ultra High to High (1 notch down)
- Disable Steam Overlay

I've noticed that the Draw Distance and Steam Overlay seem to provide the biggest boost in performance. With these options set, I get near-native Windows performance; it takes a second or two longer to load than on Windows (my buddy is usually already running away from me when I spawn after an area change, and he's got the same rig as me, just on Windows), but it's barely noticable.

Additionally, the visuals don't look significantly worse with those changes above. Some visualphiles might notice a few more jaggies (due to no FXAA) but I really can't tell a difference at all.

Well, i install the game (also i istall directx, vcrun2005, vcrun2008, vcrun2010, xact + manually install XAPOFX1_5.dll from directx_Jun2010_redist.exe).
And now i get error:
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'PresentationFramework, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002

Looks like game need .net4.0. I tried that guide - appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=24915 but i still get that error.

I also tried no-dwd, but it not help.
