And the elemental effects really slow the game down. I almost wish my friends didn't have it on 360 (which I then had to get it for) so I could've gotten it on PC. #borderlands

If you're having any trouble with Borderlands, please post in our technical forums and let us know - this helps us gather useful information! #borderlands

Game not saving settings or characters: (Not listed in Known issues thread)
Caused by having My Documents not in the default location. Solution: Create My Games\Borderlands\Savedata in the documents folder, or revert to default location. Settings files can be copied over from Users\\Documents\My Games\Borderlands
Online connectivity:
Even with ports forwarded, no luck connecting. No solution at this time.
In other words, I'm stuck in single-player.

side note, has anyone tried to pause and use a med kit during the Second Wind try?? i'll try that out next time... frustrating game.
I haven't seen a bug yet on multi, but now im scared to go out there. maybe i'll save a file off site just to be sure.
one thing that bugs me a lot? there's quite a few places where you can jump into/around/down and get stuck where you're forced to restart.
I got stuck between boxes once, and once behind a fence. both times i had to restart the console. STUPID DESIGN.
while i commend them for keeping the "invisible wall" crutch out of the game (for the most part) I now know why developers use it- so the game doesn't break and stick you in impossible locations.
:/
love the game though, its great and hugely addicting. more so than anything i've played in the last couple years.
you're always craving a new gun or class mod! woohoo!
i hope the DLC is MASSIVE and raises level caps, adds skill tree effects, ups monster levels and adds new missions/bosses. #borderlands

much better than I anticipated, it actually took me away from Uncharted 2 at 97%
I think I can wait on Modern Warfare 2 until a price drop with my new Fallout 3 meets Team Fortress goodness named Borderlands =) #borderlands

If the other player while in the car has the map screen up and you roll over the car, the map will minimize on their screen, however they will be unable to move. This is caused by the map not actually being minimized, hit the button to cancel the map out and you will be able to move again.
The second issue is, when you change the volume bar, and settings in game it says it is saving the settings. Every time you restart the game, you will have to re-set that volume bar despite it still being "saved" at the value you left it at. Basically the volume will be blaring when you get in game, despite the bar only being 50% full. Clicking on the bar then clicking ok to save settings will fix the volume again.
Both are not major issues, but they are issues none the less. (plus some times when I quit/come back to the game it appears I have more money than i left with, I believe one time I exited the game without going through the menu, and did the same quest twice but kept the money from the first time). #borderlands

@GwennBlackfeather: Absolutely. I've got three other friends also in their early 30s, and we're playing every night. Families and jobs means that most of the time it's only two or three of us in the party, but that's the beauty of the easy drop-in/drop-out co-op.
I definitely hope this game continues to sell well, and while I originally only planned on playing it until MW2 comes out, I'm actually excited about the DLC now! #borderlands

-No Mic option to disable mic or push to talk option. Mic is left on auto detect talk and there are no options to alter mic volume.
-No access to advanced graphics options like Anti-aliasing, FOV change, disable mouse smoothing, and etc. Luckily, you can change most of these yourself in the ini file. If you have an ATI card you can force AA with rivatuner. Funny how this game is aprt of the Nvidia "The way it's meant to be played" series but give ylu no option to actually max out graphics.
- in game menus are not mouse click compatible. Seriously, WTF gearbox? I have to hit enter to acknowledge, since you can't recognize a mouse click. I can highlight the "Ok" button with my mouse but can't click on it. :Shakes head:
- Crappy Online system. Port forwarding? What is this, 1995? No current Pc game should require this. Not to mention the lack of a decent trade system and friend matching system. All in all I have to give a big fuck you to gamespy and gearbox. I'm not sure why they didn't try going with Steam. Maybe Steam doesn't allow non-steam games but anything else could have been better.
So yeah those are some of the bigger PC issues right now. Aside from that the game is fun and hopefully I future patch will resolve some of this issues.

The menus are mouse click compatible for me... Are you sure it's not just a problem you're having? Or am I just lucky? #borderlands

"What is this, 1995? If a game company can release a game with so many glaring problems and not even get reprimanded by a fairly technical site like Kotaku than where will they be held accountable?"
half hour later your comment. Not trying to be petty but you could at least change the wording. #borderlands

Also, if there's a way to get my friend's mic to work (Borderlands doesn't detect it, Steam does. Figure that one out) by god, let me know. #borderlands

I go back to my own game and go to T.K. Baha's, he is sitting on his front porch and I can talk to him and complete quests.. but his door is open. I go inside and he's also THERE, hanging dead from the ceiling fan. So there are two T.K. Bahas, one alive, one dead, literally 10 feet from each other :P #borderlands

I don't mind minor glitches, but character data corrupting and skill points resetting... hopefully Gearbox is fixing 'em now (if those affects the PC version that is).
I need my post apocalyptic fix without crap mixed in it, please? #borderlands
