BORDERLANDS PC FIXES
Problem #1 : Borderlands install error message “Installation ended prematurely because of an error.”
Solution : It seems that a lot of Windows 7 users are getting this error message. This error message is not related to Borderlands. First, try to remove all files in your temp directory to make sure that the Borderlands installation files are not retrieved from a corrupted cache. If you still get that error then it could be a Drive or MSI Installer related problem so try to reinstall your MSI drivers and if that doesny work you might wanna try a fix similar to the one specified here -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/230895 . And if you still get that error, post about it in the comment box below.
Problem #2 : Borderlands install error on Windows 7
Problem #3 [IMPORTANT! ] Borderlands(PC) Nvidia Problem (crash, freeze or it may not run at all)
Note : Do not update to yur Nvidia drivers 191.xx yet. As of this posting, the 191.xx drivers released are unstable and rendered some systems unusable (link). If you need to update your video card to a later version, make sure that it’s earlier than the 191.xx. (Just in case i forget to remove this note after Nvidia fixes this issue, check this post’s creation date >> date posted october 26, 2009)
Problem #4 : Borderlands Cannot connect to multiplayer/online games.
Solution A: try to turn off your firewall/anti-virus
Solution B: you might need to open your ports. to know what ports to open for Borderlands (PC) check this link -> http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=77897 | borderlands portforwarding.
Problem #5 : Borderlands ATI 4xxx series problem : You play normally for around 20 minutes or so, before the game suddenly freeze, screen goes black, and a message box from the CCC pops ups telling you that VPU Recover has reset your driver due to it having stopped responding. <as posted by Airship>
Solution :
Hello, same problem here with a 4870 running on windows 7 64 bit with latest release of catalyst drivers, 9.10. This is a known issue with a lot of games on their first release. Anyway my advice for you is to update your graphic drivers, maybe you can solve the problem this way. If it doesn’t i suppose we have to wait a solution from game developers or ATI’s new driver release.<as posted by renneirob>
Problem #6 : Borderlands (PC) problem where USB gamepads / controllers are not recognized or the mapping of buttons is different/wrong/awkward.
Solution : No known solutions yet
Problem #7 : Borderlands (PC) Stuttering sound problem
Solution : Reduce or turn off Directsound acceleration
Problem #8 : Borderlands (PC) Crashing to desktop / Black Screen Problem
Solution #1 : Make sure you are using the latest stable version of your Video card drivers.
Solution #2 : If you Borderlands still keeps on crashing, post your system specs and the OS you are using to run Borderlands on the comment box below plus a description of how the error occurs (does it occur in a specific area or when you do something in-game, etc)
Problem #9: Borderlands (PC) intermittent freezing problem
Solution : refer to solution #1 and solution #2 for borderlands problem #8
Problem #10 : Borderlands (PC) Data Execution Prevention error (DEP error)
Solution as posted by polka : Try to follow the steps here to disable DEP http://ask-leo.com/how_do_i_turn_off_data_execution_prevention_errors.html
Solution #2 : if it wont allow you to disable the DEP in vista, try this one : http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1261/vista_disable_dep_noexecute_protection_fix_explorer_crashing/
Solution #3 : If you STILL cant seem to disable DEP via control panel, turn it off from the boot.ini permanently, steps outlined here : http://kb.vodor.net/idx.php/6/004/article/
Problem #11 : Borderlands (PC) General Protection Fault for multicore users
Solution : Start the game, go quick to your taskmanager select go Processes, search Borderlands.exe, Right mouse button, click “Set Affinity” disable all cpu´s except of one (run this game with one Processor).
You must do this before the game start
Problem #12 : Cant install borderlands, error message is :
setupdll\setupdll.cpp (391)
pAPP:Borderlands
etc..etc..
Solution : as posted by xcon
Try the following.
If “C” is your system drive, go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\
There you should see directory called “InstallShield”. Rename that directory to something else, for example “temp_is”. Try running Setup now.
Problem #13 : Borderlands (PC) Install on PC problem error 1722
Solution #1 :
After the installation is “complete” and the message shows that says “error 1722? and so on, turn of your computer by unplugging it or hold the button down and DO NOT press OK!
Solution #2:
1.
Elevate a command prompt by right-clicking the Command Prompt in Start:All Programs:Accessories and selecting Run as administrator…
2.
From the command prompt, run regedit.exe
3.
If you have a 32-bit system, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion.
If you have a 64-bit system, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
4.
Set the “DevicePath” value to “%SystemRoot%\Inf” (without the quotes).
Problem #14 : Borderlands AMD related crashes AFTER successful install.
Solution : If you have a 64-bit dual core and can play, but the game crashes out after 15-60 min and asks you to install AMD software, you should try the ‘dual-core optimizer’ from AMDs website: http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/dynamicDetails.aspx?ListID=c5cd2c08-1432-4756-aafa-4d9dc646342f&ItemID=153

it’s asking me to install AMD processor drivers but i’m clueless on how to do this because i am using an intel q6600 processor
can anyone help me?
nevermind, found how to turn off DEP :
http://ask-leo.com/how_do_i_turn_off_data_execution_prevention_errors.html
anyone up for multiplayer?
the game starts fine for me but when i get to the first bit where you choose you colour and outfit about 1 min afterwards my computer screen goes blank the fan on my gpu spins up and then the sound loops and my computer shuts down.im on windows vista and using a 4870. i have tried everything i can think of(new drivers new physx drivers new sound drivers) and none of them have helped. strange as i had this same problem with risen as well but all other games work fine so im thinking it may be an issue with ut3 games and physx as both these games use thatt engine and physx
I lost all skill points,and others i have played have had this same problem
I get this error all the time, blackscreen then crash to desktop. Sometimes it crashes instantly and sometimes a ican play for an hour.

FYI if you have issues with ATI 4xxx cards crashing with black screens, try opening CCC (Catalyst Control Centre) and manually setting the fan to 50% or higher (I used 85% to be on the safe side). It seems the auto fan control gets disabled for some reason causing the cards to overheat.
I purchased Borderlands recently and spent countless hours playing as a Siren. When I caught up to a friend in level and joined his match, I lost ALL skill points.
Also, aim assist will not toggle off.
I realize that both of these issues are marked but I would like to know when I will be able to play my main character again bug-free.
Data Execution Prevention, or DEP wont let me play it and i tryed to do what “Polka” did but it wont let me do it cause it says it cant turn it of for that program
@8 gamernerd : check solution for problem #10
it’s an edit i made on the post for DEP related borderland errors
@7 : let’s all wait for that patch
yeah my card is water cooled so its not over heating any other ideas?
The single player game works and load just fine, but when multiplayer then join game button are selected the program freezes while finding servers(or atleast it’s at a framerate of 1 per minute). every once in a while the mouse will shift if I moved it and I can get full control if I guess a few keystrokes and join a server and it fails to connect, otherwise it’s a random server after a few minutes of trying to get a response.

i am having trouble installing it, Error 1722 - Problem #13, i tried the fix from above but it didnt help. my “DevicePath” value was already set to “%SystemRoot%\Inf”
There are some people complaining on the Steam version that on the “First Time Setup” That they are getting stuck on Part 2 and Part 3 of the install. Part 2 is amdcpusetup.exe, and part 3, from what I hear, is a directX setup.
I have been stuck on the second part for some time, and I have decided to delete the local content and redownload the game. But I want to know if anyone has found a fix of a workaround to this issue. Does anyone know?

Tried re-installing M$ Visual C++ Runtime files, didn’t help.
Any suggestions?
I tried fixing problem 10 with method 2, but when I rebooted, I keep getting the blue screen of death and I can’t ge passed it, even when I try safe mode. Help please!!
Thanks to the author for quoting my solution for the Windows 7 problem. Happy to help :]
when i start the game, theres sound up to the nvidia screen. the opening video where the truck is driving down the road has sound. after that theres no sound at all. i’ve already downloaded the latest video and sound drivers to no avail. plz help
I have this issue - when i try to install the game the instqallshield goes through the first part where in installs 44.6mb on my HDD but before it goes on to the lengthy installation process it just… stops. its doing nothing.
in my add\remove program i can see borderlands (44.6mb size) but i cant uninstall it. if i try i get an error like in #12. of course trying to fix it like solution #12 suggested got me nowhere. i still have installation issue.
deleting my TEMP folder didnt help either :\
nothing works as of now….
Ok. I posted earlier with the BSOD problem. After a lot of messing around, I have seemed to figure out how to fix it. I highly recommend never using method 2 or 3 for Problem 10 because for some people, it really messes up the computer to the point where you cant even start it. If anyone was having the same problems as me, just leave a message and I’ll explain how to fix it.
Purchased Borderlands, Pre-Installed it 2 days prior to release date. Tried to play today and I come up with a
“Rendering Thread Exception:
General Protection Fault!”
Type error.. I don’t really know what to do.
I am using a Logitech Rumblepad 2 and the moveforward and movebackward are switched. All other axises are working just find it’s only the left sticks Y axis that is switched.
I tried the fix that worked for Wolverine, same problem and same unreal engine, but it didn’t work.
Any ideas?

@duke….i have the same problem except i have an AMD proccessor!!!!! no idea whats going on
I had the same problem as #13 but doing that didn’t solve anything. Actually when I did all that it turned out that it was already set up to these settings.
Anyone know if there’s ANOTHER way to help?
i am having trouble installing it, Error 1722 - Problem #13, i tried the fix from above but it didnt help. my “DevicePath” value was already set to “%SystemRoot%\Inf” same as nabb the error occurs a few seconds after installation has started
Getting a General protection fault! error. any idea why I cant launch the game?
I’m getting a really weird problem. I can start and play the game just fine, up until whenever the woman who transmits messages to you somehow. She talks for like 10 seconds, and then all of a sudden my graphics just go crazy, and many random skins and different things from the game flood my screen. Sometimes this happens, or other times my computer will completely freeze up. I’ve been experiencing the graphics problem with Counter-Strike: Source as well.
I got thie off of RSlog and it worked for me it was installing fully then it would launch then crash and i would get the 1722 error but this fixed it for me
or those who still have the “error 1722? message at the end of the installation, here is the trick :
When you have this message, DON’T PRESS “ok”.
Copy the whole folder where you intalled the game (”Borderland” folder) and put it in another place on your hard drive. Then press ok. The installation will reverse, due to the error.
Put the copy of the folder “borderland” you made in your game directory.
Then it will work.
My game freezes before it even starts. I double click on the icon in steam and everything just locks up. I can’t find any fixes for this!
I have:
Windows Vista 32 bit
Intel Core Duo 2.4GHz

NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT
Help!
I’m getting the General Fault Error message too and its making me really angry and frustrated. I preloaded it as well and ive tried everything i can to fix it.
HELP!! PLEASE!!!

My friend has a similar computer, except he’s using a slower intel processor, and lower end gigabyte motherboard. This does not happen at a particular spot, or when I do something specific. It just crashes after some time.

Playing borderlands on 360, the power went out in the house and when it came back on the save file was corrupted. Oh well…
My mouse has some serious lag in the game. Its like a second behind type response. Just in the game though and I have never had this problem before in any other game. Anyone else have any problem like this?

I was playing with a friend on splitscreen (him as Mordi and I as Lilith), we were in Earl’s Scrapyard, and the system locked… frozen screen, no audio, couldn’t pull up the guide menu or anything. Had to shut the 360. Booted back up, and his (host) save file was corrupted. Nothing was saving or even happening at the time, we were just looting.
So we leveled up another Mordi, and it did the same thing, in the heat of battle at Earl’s scrapyard. This time it didn’t corrupt the save.
This wouldn’t be such a problem if M$ let us back up our saves, the bastards.
i downloaded the game off steam and all the startup stuff seemed to work but whenever I try to acually start the game, the logo shows up the the middle of my screen and nothing will happen. the game never starts up and task manager says its not responding. ive verified the game cache data and updated my video driver and direct x is updated and its still not doing anything.

Cheers mate, I was crashing lots but setting my GPU fan to >85% solved my problems.
Anyone else with a ATI 4800 series card who is experiencing crashing: try manually putting the fan speed up.

What we gonna do? Did u find solution for this problem?
Thanks a lot for this thead dude, you rock!
I also have the same problem as topeira and darklink. I was reading around and supposedly it has something to do with installshield? i tried clearing out the borderlands registry and changing the installshield name but to no avail i still get stuck at the same spot everytime. I never get to the progress bar where it shows time and percentage left. My friend installed the game no problem from the same file. PLEASE HELP! so frustrated.
I also have the same problem as topeira and darklink. 4 hours of searching with no solution in sight :(. HELP!
Every time i try to start the game it just crashes with out showing the splash screen with this ” Borderlands has encountered a problem and needs to be close” I have no clue what to do!

I am having this same issue, any fixes?
when i go to start the game it fails to start i get borderlands has encountered a problem and has to close then i get a message general protection fault something with nvtt.dll, the dll is there but there seems to be a problem.
nvtt::compressor::estimatesize()address=0×39366d (filename not found) [in c:\programfiles\2k games\gearbox software\boprderlands\binariesznvtt.dll]
that is one of the lines in the message this is on my PC i need help plz thanks.
me again i do not have a multicore processor
#12 for pc works great!!!! thank u!!!!! :DDDDDDD
The splash screen loads, screen goes black and resolution changes but then it just stops booting. I’ve got dual monitors so I kept task manager open in one of them, the process just disappears, no error message or anything. ATI x1600 2gb ram AMD3800+ 2.0ghz
@jiffy760 - I have very nearly the same PC build, except I have more RAM and a different mobo. My game crashes about every 30 minutes. Very annoying. I’ve tried updating drivers, but ATI’s driver installer crashes for me. I’m running out of solutions.
my computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Core2 Duo T7500
4GB Ram
Nvidia 8600M GT
after i click the game to run it.. the process starts on the task manager but after like 5 seconds it quits and it does nothing… any ideas?
I had a problem while booting the game, it showed the splashscreen and then it encountered a problem and needed to close giving the error message that the device does not support pixel shader 3.0 (my graph card supports up to 4.0) The solution was to update my graph card driver ( maybe a solution to the problems of other people) But now i get a general protection fault error after playing for a while and running the game on only core 1 or core 2 doesn’t help.
4870×2 Issue: Video Card runs even hotter than normal and can’t handle high settings. I’m using the latest 9.10 catalyst suite and tried reinstalling the drivers already. The manual fan control is set to 75% which is what I use standard for TF2, Cysis, and Bioshock (and don’t have this problem). When I start the game the temp idles around 55 degrees. After 5 minutes in game the card hits 105-110. I suspect there is a general problem with ATI drivers as other 4xxx series users also have the black screen crash problem.
Specs:
q6600
4870×2
8gb memory
win 7 x64
Solution #11 did not fix or change anything. The problem still occurs.
I found a sollution for the “error 1722″ in W7 after i tried all things that i found on this site.
After the installation is “complete” and the message shows that says “error 1722″ and so on, turn of your computer by unplugging it or hold the button down and DO NOT press OK!
I did like this and the game stays installed and works like a charm =)
Hi!
I’ve the same problem as duke, the installation freezes at the Installing amd processor drivers part. Is there already some sort of fix?
I’m running this:

RE: AMD related crashes AFTER successful install.
If you have a 64-bit dual core and can play, but the game crashes out after 15-60 min and asks you to install AMD software, you should try the ‘dual-core optimizer’ from AMDs website: http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/dynamicDetails.aspx?ListID=c5cd2c08-1432-4756-aafa-4d9dc646342f&ItemID=153
Its worked for me so far…

Problem #8 : Borderlands (PC) Crashing to desktop / Black Screen Problem
Running on a 3.2ghz single core 2gigs of ram and an ATI 2600pro. Crash occurs when pressing ‘tab’ to open the character screen/inventory. CCC shows an error message saying the VPU has reset.
currently making the game unplayable
I have:
E6600 Core 2 Duo(2.4ghz)
8800 GTS 320 MB
Vista Ultimate 32bit
4GB Ram
The game is really really laggy. It freezes every 10-15 seconds, usually unfreezes soon after, but I can’t get past a certain point. Skag gully (near the very beginning), right after I enter the area where the first two midgets come out. The game freezes and I have to force crash it.
When I look at the task manager the process Borderlands.exe is using over 1,000,000 K. I am sure that is why it is so laggy but just to see I dropped every single setting to bare minimum and it still is skips. Are there any ideas, my computer isn’t terrible I still play most new games at fairly high to fully high settings with no problems, but this game takes its toll at low settings and still crashes. Could it be an install problem?
I downloaded borderlands via steam and it seems to have installed ok cept for when I start it up for the first time I get an “external installer has stopped working” anyone have this problem? I also tried to go to the exe.file but then it says “side by side system configuration is incrorrect” HELP!
hi, I get the #1 error all the time..I tried everything possible I can…deleting temp, running through cmdline, downloaded direct x, also tried to reinst msi installer but i got weird error…

Me, as well as a lot of other people, get no sound in game. We can hear the opening credits, as well as people talking on microphones, but that is it. No ingame or menu sound.

While installing before the DirectX install (quite early in the install phase) I get the 1722 error. The game seems to have a problem installing the new DirectX. Anyone have a solution for this? I tried both above methods but they didn’t work :(.
Hey all I have the same problem as DarkLink, topeira, and dave.
When I start installing the game it simply stops at 46,6 MB can’t really get around it, tried many tips nothing works I even double checked everything. If anyone has a solution to why the installation stops suddenly it would be great!
Thanks
So I originally encountered the installing error darklink, topeira, xanctus, and myself encountered while using xp 32bit. I upgraded to windows 7 64bit and still encounter the EXACT SAME PROBLEM! I only got to the second phase of the install once (using xp), where it reached around 45% and then hardlocked. Ever since then I can never get past the first unpacking phase (In xp or 7). It still shows the installshield icon in the taskbar although I can’t maximize it and it never progresses past that point. This is ridiculous!!! I would be forever grateful if this got figured out.
Well, this one is kind of strange, every time that girl hollograph comes up and start talking to me (I belive its the guide angel or something), when she finishes talking and the holograph disapears, the game freezes up for like 10 seconds, and then lot of graphical glitches occur, the first time it was just a big horizontal line going from the top to the bottom, the next time it was a lot of strange colors, figures and rare things. If i restart the game the glitches stay there, i have to restart my pc to fix the thing
I forgot to mention that i have two video cards and a PHENOM 2 tri core CPU
360 version. freezes at the load screen when i save and exit a single player game. I have to turn off the console at that point.
hey guys i am getting error when i click on the exe file from the bin folder it says that application has failed to start because its side by side configuration is incorrect.please see the application event log for more details plz help me out i really want to play this game plzzzzzz i beg u:(
I have a ps3 and I will play for about 2 hours and the game will freeze.I played on 2 different ps3’s and the same thing happens after 2 hours the game will freeze up!!!!!

The game freezes right after the opening cutscenes and I have to restart my computer, it doesn’t have an error code or anything. The farthest I’ve gotten is for my health bar to appear. I’ve tried reinstalling it, updating my graphics drivers, and setting all the graphics settings to low/off. Anyone got any ideas or tips to try?

To whoever is the writer of this article,
First of all, thanks for posting all these fixes!
But for problem number 10, you should warn people that the use of method 2 or 3 can cause severe problems, because a lot of people like myself have gotten BSOD from disabling DEP completely. You should add in another method that I found that works. Just apply the Razor1911 crack over the reloaded game client, and it will work perfectly.

This isn’t an issue of poor frame rate so much as momentary pauses that occur every few seconds during gameplay. My audio drivers are up to date and I’m using 186.18 NVidia drivers since they have always been very stable and I had issues with my previous 192.xx driver before I DriverSwept them off my machine. Not quite sure what’s up because it happens on every resolution constantly regardless of in-game settings.

I´ve found out how to fix my problem, one is diseabling SLI in the NVIDIA settings thing, and the other one was putting just one core of the CPU to tha game in the process manager
I have the same problem as rohit! Plz help me :/
The games launches fine, but crashes randomly during play.
The screen just freeze, I can alt-tab out, and close the borderland window. If I do that an error popup tells me:
Rendering thread exception:
General protection fault!

Of course, other games work like a charm on this machine :/
I get the “General Protection Fault” error. Listen as Solution #11…Although I do not have a multi-core processor. I get problems with the nvtt.dll file
in accordance to #20 comment or TOPEIRA’s problem of installation stopping after the binaries, i found a solution!!!
took me years of trawling through comments. Like topeira, my installation stopped; (this was because i cancelled it on a whim). As i tried to reinstall, it stopped after installing the binaries and the directory.
SOLUTION: This is a step by step guide to fix this problem
happy borderlands
1.I deleted all borderlands registries with regedit
2.I deleted the 2kgames directory folder
3.After the installation minimises after the binaries section, Go to processes Ctrl+Alt+Del and find a process called 7zip. End process Tree it.
4.Doing these 3 steps made my install work, and yes it was a dumb fluke on step 3. But it works.
For anyone getting the crash after the transmission, disabling sli worked for me. I also uninstalled the latest nvidia 191.xx drivers and re-installed the 190.xx drivers although i’m not sure this is necessary.
For anyone getting the crash after the transmission, disabling sli worked for me.
OMG people Thanks helpingman I actually tried what you said and it started unpacking!!! I bow down to You! I’m grateful man!
gotta say its richly ironic. My mouse keeps dying when i try to play borderlands. One problem to anudder. And btw the 7zip process thing is because windows is getting confused with extracting process. this is cuz the part after binary isnt installing, but extracting :0
the game always crashing when i start driving the car
error is this: Runtime Error R6025

To fix the application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect error u just need to download c++ 2008, write that in google and u’ll find it. Worked for me!

THANKS YOU , HELPING MAN!
**********************************************
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
the solution to the problem of the game not even installing (stopping at 44.6mb after a 5 seconds of installing the binaries folder) is on post no.94
when the installation freezes i use ALT+CTRL+DELETE and entered PROCESSES and found 7ZIP and ended that process. the installation resumed! simple! thank u again, helping man.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
i just hope the game will work fine from now on….

Blue screen of death after playing for 5 minutes ~ 6 hours.
Right before the blue screen appears I get artifacts all over my screen (not the green ones that you get when your gfxcard gets too hot, but it seems like artifacts caused by the game engine), I checked if my graphics card wasn’t getting too hot either by it wasn’t.

i cant seem to get passed an installation part.
it keep try to download direct x. but i already have directx 9 on my comp. so what should i do about this?
I’m having problems saving. I have the RELOADED release, and on both my XP and Vista (two different computers), I cannot save anything: settings, characters, etc. I have two partitioned drives on both computers, and I tried installing on both drives with the Vista computer and still nothing; no ability to save.
When I tried the Razor1911 release, I could get only to the first town, with the robot standing in front of the door, then the robot wouldn’t get on with the quest dialog so I was permanently stuck.
Thanks for taking the time to help!

@Green comment 110. I had the same problem as you but it started working just fine when I downloaded C++2008 (believe me I think it’ll work), but remember to download the 2008 (newest) edition of C++! Just write download C++2008 in google and u’ll have it.
hi Bulletproof,
thank you for your advice and help, i will try that today.
i will inform you about the outcome.
take care

You won’t believe this. I tried installing it and like usual it minimized into the taskbar after the binaries installed. I tried the 7zip thing and when I right clicked on 7zip and selected “end process tree” a confirmation popped up asking if I wanted to go through with it. Before I confirmed “end process tree” the second part of the install all of the sudden showed up and the game finished the install! Needless to say I was pretty much ecstatic. I played the game for a several hours and got up to level 13 (game is amazing).
Couple hours ago after I accidently deleted a unrelated file and had no choice but to system restore. Unfortunately I had no restore points from after the Borderlands installation and had to choose a point before the install took place. Again I am stuck in this stupid install loop and I can’t replicate the 7zip process I used earlier. This is torture. At least I got a taste and know what I’m missing out on now. : (
Black screen and crashes back to desktop. I hvae uninstalled my 190.xx Nvidia drivers…

Any help.. most appreciated.. plzz…
My problem is that I get through the annoying logo screens that you can’t skip. When the NVIDIA one pops up and claptrap comes out and tries to fix it. Right after that screen the games stops loading and sits at a black screen. Never crashes to Desktop just sits there. I can hear the hard drive working but the game never appears.
System Specs:
Windows 7 Pro
4gb RAM

Sometimes the game does load, usually after a reboot but most times not. Perhaps its something to do with my antivirus. I thought it was my volume panel as the game worked once when I disabled that but that didn’t work this time. Frustrating. Any thoughts?
For those who get the General Protection Fault error, using only one core/cpu (problem #11) indeed fixed my issue. But funny thing is it only works if the core assigned to the game is the first one.. not sure why.
hi Bulletproof,
thank you man. that worked just perfect. thank you thank you.
take care

HOW TO FIX BLACK SCREEN ON BOOT-
Try the 178.24 drivers. you’ll have to fish around for them on nvidia, but they work perfectly for me.
My game runs fine, but my mouse won’t work or can’t use WASD >.<
I have a gtx 295 .. and the game have some graphical trouble (psychedelic colour) during some video …
With the evga sli 18 and the 191.xx or with the fuckin nvidia sli profile 3 and the 190.xx..it’s the same shit^^ I have test the beta drivers 195.XX .. and all works fine ! The 191.xx is dead ^^
I can’t even get into the game. Keeps crashing every time i launch. I have tried completly redownloading the game from D2D and have installed and uninstalled 4 times; same results every time:
I’m running windows 7 64bit 4gb ram intel core 2 duo 2.6 proc

I have tried updating the C++ x86 redistributables
I have run it with old NVIDIA drivers and new
I have updated Direct X
I’m out of ideas!!!
Hi, i have a sound problem too. But when i turn off the direct sound acc it’s still there. And after ~ 10 mins then sound go away, the whole game freezes out. i have a 2 soundcards, can it be the problem ? )
Im running Windows 7 and I have it installed but when I run it, i get a ‘failed to find default engine .ini file to retrieve My Documents subdirectory to use. Force Quitting.’I have edited the ownerships of those folders again and again and it still doesnt work; any ideas?
@Green
No problem man, its the least any1 can do after searching/googling the problem for hours and then finding the right solution
Whenever I try to enter LAN or multiplayer, my PC reboots the very same second. In single player, it was perfectly stabile until I got to the save thing, when I tried to save it made my computer reboot as well..
Any ideas? Ive tried C++ 2008, DCO etc, dont think any of the solutions here will help me out - not sure what to do or what is causing it.

Hi, i had the following issue on my PC version of borderlands “Issue: (360, PS3) Equipped items disappear upon leaving a co-op game or on level transition in co-op games”
My PC build is as follows;

My items dissappeared as soon as i joined my first multiplayer game, and was unavaliable even in my single player game after that.
I’d like to name the awesome weapons i had, but theres like a million different weapons so i guess i’ll just have to shrug my shoulders on that one.
I get something like side by side configuration error plz help i tryed all game versions
Borderlands wont even start before it crashes.
I double tap the exe, and it says “The program stopped responding” I use Vista.
Phenom Quadcore 9650
4 gigs Ram

I get the 1722 error on install, fixed this by not clicking ok when the error message pops up and then copying the installed files to a new location then copying them back after clicking ok which deletes all the install files.
I was playing the game all last night, woke today switched comp on tried to play the game and its all gone and I need to install again.
This is ridiculous. 2k Games are swanks for releasing this game without a fix!

Well it looks like nothing im going through… while installing the game it randomly begins to completly freeze windows 7 for at least 1 minute.. after that it moves for 2 seconds and goes again with the freeze…. i tried a lot of suggested solutions but it never worked…
The repro rate on the PS3 soft crash (freeze) needs to be bumped up from Low Frequency to 85-100% frequency. I haven’t been able to get the game NOT to crash. I could put the game in now and play it split-screen for maybe 10 minutes (if lucky) before it will freeze. It is very disappointing to have waited so long for a game that needs 2 more months of QA. It is 100% repro rate on split screen, and about a 75% on online multiplayer. It would be nice to see a fix implemented soon because I was really enjoying the game, but these issues will keep me from playing it any further or speaking of it fairly to others. It is another typical case of a studio and publisher undervaluing QA. If you would treat QA staff as well as developers you maybe would have had a game released on time without these issues. Quality assurance is the most important part of game development. They make sure your product works. You have essentially killed any chance of favorable consumer review by releasing a candidate that contains multiple A level showstoppers. Why should I or any other user have to deal with a near constant crash when I can just write this game off as bad and move on?
For what it’s worth, when I start Borderlands and the game starts, I can’t stop the mouse from spinning…
Have all the latest drivers. Well from reading previous bugs, that is to be expected from badly written code and trying to make a quick profit. Makes me want to puke…

please help me ive just bought borderlands installed it and it comes up with a general expectation error says something bout nvtt.dll….
help would me much appreciation.
So I grabbed my roommates copy of XP and reinstalled what was previously Vista 64. I no longer have an issue with my video stuttering anymore but with XP now installed I’m seeing a new video issue. Just like post #141 above, I am perfectly fine up until the point where I exit the bus and the robot is handing me the HUD. At that point, the music will continue but the game seems to hang. I let it sit that way and it never crashes to desktop but I have to either reboot my machine or wait for the task manager to show up and close it that way.
This is the exact error I get:
Rendering thread exception:
General protection fault!

Any idea how to fix this? Disabling one of the cpu’s did not work, so it’s not a multicore issue.
Hi everybody,I have the same problem as many people here :/
Theres No music or in game speak..I can hear weapon sounds and my own and enemy characters / creatures sound..And thats it!
Its sooo annoying to dont hear anything except for “bloargh!”
“Haha you liek it?”
“Boom” “boom” *weapon sounds*
Its a little bit strange way to play a game,but after all its enjoyable without sounds too..
BUT NOT AS MUCH WITH SOUNDS!!!!!!!
I’m getting a computer crash after the NVidia logo on startup. (Black screen, looping sound…)

Help appreciated
At first I had problem #5 but I downloaded the latest driver and that was fixed. Then I started playing and after 5-10 minutes each time the screen goes black and I can’t do anything anymore and have to restart my PC. (#8)
Specs:

the application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more details.
this is what i get when i try to load it it worked for several days before this and i haven’t changed anything
Hi, I have intermittent problems where it starts the loading screen, but after the nVidia part instead of going on to the next screen, it just stays black and won’t respond. I don’t get an error or anything and I have to alt+tab out. It doesn’t happen all the time, but it seems once it happens once, it will keep happening until I restart PC.

Game runs fine when it does load.
Well I get what is ether a framerate or really bad lag issue, randomly the game will start going very slow and laggy,this happens on both single player and online, but it never stays that way, tried installing the newest nvidia drivers.my pc specs are.My friends computer is pretty much the same specs but it works amazing on his.

My audio has started to bug for some reason and it seems to be caused by a SMG I just found. Never had the issue earlier. Anyway, I can hear a small sound that speakers make when their about to fall apart due to playing too loud. The sound comes for a millisecond, then the audio plays as normal. Then after a while, the audio breaks completely and everything sounds lika 1-bit sound and/or a modem. Anyone else having this issue?
I have an onboard, disabled audio device and a SB Audigy 2. If I close Borderlands the sound works normally again. Otherwise I have to disable and enable the device and everything goes back to normal.
I have a quadcore Amd Phenom II 940 Black Edition, 4gb of ram, onboard Audio (Realtek ALC), SB Audigy 2, Windows 7 x64, freshly installed. Latest drivers for chipset, audio, graphics and everything else.
One work-around for the “Installation ended prematurely because of an error.” problem is to do a silent install, like this: start –> Run –>
msiexec /i d:\setup.msi /qb!
So I installed the game, but I had to uninstall it because I did something wrong with the files. When I uninstalled it, I didn’t restart the computer when it said to, and now I can’t seem to reinstall the game.
my game crashes when I’m saving my game for the first time. In this little tutorial at the start of the game. You got out of the bus, robot gives you a device and ypu must follow him. When that little robot stops at this “saving point” I press “e” and my game crashes.
Anyone know how to fix that?
if onyone know please write to me userx@tlen.pl
I have had a problem with my game freezing on the xbox 360. We had just finished fighting krom. When we teleported back to new haven the games audio started to skip. But it really didn’t effect our game play, so we continued. When we went to turn in the quest the game froze up, alone with the xbox. Now even if we try to play are characters by themselfs the game still freezes up. Now it says our characters are corrupted. Please help!!!!

When you have error during instalation (on the end), connected with install MSI drivers, just kill the setup progress by ctrl+alt+del. I almost start cried, but i did this and game run without problems. Greetz
I get a pirate version with a friend… and when the installation bar reaches the end a window appears saying I dont have administrator privileges… then the download bar rolls back…
I managed to resolve the problem by myself after hours of search in the internet (thats how I found this page) but nothing helps… so I’ll put it here to help anyone with the same problem. (is acctualy easy =D)
When the bar reaches the end and the window appears DONT click ok… go to the 2K folder and move all Borderlands folder to another place (I moved to the desktop) then go to the folder binaries and click “borderlands.exe” file… a mesage will appear saying some .dll file is missing… search the file in internet (sorry… dont remember right now the name or the site i’ve found it) download it, and copy the file to the folder “binaries”… and play… very simple right =D
Hope this help someone…
have fun! xD
Whiley u have to copy the crack in the binaries folder to play if it’s a pirate. Do this while the installation is on, before the screen pops up and rolls back the installation
I also have one of the for mentioned problems:

Hi, I have a different problem from all of you actually… I run the game fine after getting past the initial physx problem which was solved by downloading the latest nvidia physx program from their website…
Now i run the game and it looks beautiful. all options at full and it still runs smoothly, however the problem starts when
1) i get hit by a flock of rakks.
2) i use the rocket launcher on enemies about 1-2 feet from me.
my comp instantly restarts and i get a CMOS clock reset.
hopefully someone can help me there.
I found on my quad core Phenom II 940, on the Asus M3a32 mother board when I had the ganged mode memory option set to enabled I would experience random crashes and blue screens with various causes, I set the Memory option to unganged and the problems have not reoccurred in some time now. If your system bios has the option to gang or ungang the memory on the AMD memory controllers try setting it to unganged.
game crashes after approximately 10-30 minutes of play.
“detected negative delta time”
i’ve tried the following methods with no success:
-running the game in windows 98/me compatibility mode
-replacing borderlands.exe with a cracked version and also adding a .dll called “reloaded.dll” that came with the crack
-amd’s dual core optimizer (even though i have an intel e8400 - i’m desperate to get this working properly)
-downloading at least two different pirated/ripped copies
specs:
-intel e8400 cpu
-nvidia 8800gt
-2gb ram
-windows xp sp3
i cannot install the game, the autorun doesn’t work, and there is no setup.exe, there is only borderlands.exe and i cannot run it, an ms-dos screen appears and disappears in 1 second. what should i do?
hello my prob is that, when i install the game it shows me that the app cant run because exe wasnt found… borderlands.exe…
After playing the game for around an hour the game crashes to desktop and shows me an error report. The report changes every time and tell me that files are missing. I’ve used the same cd to install on my friends computer and his doesn’t crash. I’ve reinstalled the game. I’ve updated all my drivers.
I have a picture of the crash report if needed.

I am unable to install Borderlands under Vista. Whenever I click on Install, an error message (Setup.exe has stopped working) would pop-up. I can’t seem to find any answer anywhere, nor anyway around this problem…
please help.
nvm. I found a way to install it.
Explore the disk, and click on Setup, and installation window should appear.
My installer freezes up whenever it gets to the installing direct x portion.
I have an issue that whenever i enter a cave or building my facing will change randomly. i will suddenly be facing the ceiling or floor or 180 out from my original heading. This makes it very difficult to do much of anything. any suggestions?
While trying to install I get an error message.
“The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you’re running. Check your computer’s system information to see whether you need an x86 or x64 version of the program, and then contact the publisher.”
Hi

please help me out here.
My game keeps on freezing 1 minute of playing and it freezes then un freezes and keeps doing this. ive updated my graphics card already. i dont know what else to do. here are my specs:

anyone know what i can do?

ati radeon hd 2600 XT (512 mb)
Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card
Freezes with the PURE VIRTUAL FUNCTION CALL series of errors, i have gone through and checked that i have the newest drivers for everything including chip set, and so far nothing. No specific areas, just i play for a while and it freezes and that happens. Sometimes hours sometimes 30 seconds. Usually lasts longer if i go into msconfig and disable all unnecessary services and run reboot/run the game. It no difference between single and multi player, though eventually it will stop loading texture, like it will be so that the whole map is blue, and all you can see are buildings and vehicles and the players, and the guns that enemies are holding but not the enemies themselves. That problem gets progressively worse until it is either a. unplayable or b. it crashes.
win vista 32bit

updated drivers to 9.10
I get to play about 20-60 minutes before the game crashes, and a “runtime error” box comes up.
any news if there is going to be a patch anytime soon?
Hey! After sucessfull install the following error message comes up:
“GetProcessID wasn`t found in ther KERNEL32.dll”
What does it mean?
I don’t get any intro or ending movie sounds, Video works perfectly and Sounds throughout game work fine. Would be nice to hear the final movie though :/
I used to have the DEP problem, so I tried the solution here and managed to shut DEP down. Instead, it seems I get the same problem, only now it has nothing to do with DEP. In other words, the game doesn’t even start, I just instantly get the message;
Borderlands has stopped working.
Before, Windows told me that DEP was blocking it. Now, DEP is off, Windows doesn’t say anything about DEP, but the end result is the same. The game doesn’t start, it just shuts down instantly.
I also tried installing the latest video drivers, but with no luck.

Trying to play this game, but it freezes every 10 minutes…I have to hard reset. Sound keeps playing, but screen stays frozen. Not during an intensive scenes either, mostly when walking around (not during shootouts). Really pathetic that this game can’t run on my comp…ready to give up on PC gaming already!
Okay I’ve finally found a solution to topeira’s problem and many others that were having problems with frozen installs. Nothing worked, even ~6 system restores..
I had a power outage during the install and trying to reinstall now just minimizes the Borderlands setup for hours while it does nothing.
Solution may vary for you but it worked for me on Windows 7 64bit.
While Borderlands setup is “minimized” on your taskbar,
ALT CTRL DELETE and go to your Task Manager, Processes tab.
Find 7zip.exe and rightclick it, Open File Location.
It will take you to an AppData\Local\Temp folder with a lot of numbers and letters.
Now doubleclick and open 7zip and let it extract some stuff.
Now in the same folder, open 7zFM.. Navigate to your DVD, and find Borderlands.dat.001, doubleclick it, highlight everything in the box and extract it to your Program Files \ Borderlands folder.
Once all 7GB or so are extracted and in the correct location, run the installation one more time and it will finish installing the other DLLs that you need.
Replace Borderlands.exe and you’re good to go.

my problem is that the game freezes for 5 sec every 30 sec, and there is no audio after exeing the bus for the first time.
