Is XP shared in co-op just like money is? I'm not sure if everybody always shares or if you only get XP from enemies you get at least one shot in on. The XP gained popup seemed inconsistent for me so it was hard to tell.

Talk being always-on is fine on the 360 when I can just mute the line at will, but on PC its a bit silly. Our group disabled voice chat via the .ini file and we've just been using Ventrilo. If you guys want to hop on our Vent server to do the same, feel free, I know Taggart has the info, just please keep the server info to SF people and friends - I don't want it to become some public fustercluck. I set up 4 Borderlands group channels but I can set up more if need be. If you need the info and Taggart isn't around to share, hit me up on Steam (DooM://Kamakazie) and I'll set you up.

Steps to disable in-game voice chat:
Open My Documents\My Games\Borderlands\WillowGame\Config\WillowEngine.ini
Find bHasVoiceEnabled=True
Replace this with bHasVoiceEnabled=False

I'll be playing a good amount with some local people I know, plus I'll probably join in on some groups over at GAF, so I don't really want to be managing multiple voice chat options. May keep it in mind for just Sharky games, though.

Played this with a friend on split-screen last night. It was fun, though checking inventory, quests, and the map got annoying because of the small screen real-estate. Can you only drop items and not ammo? There were times when we ran out of ammo for a gun, while the other person had ammo but wasn't using that gun, i.e. I had sniper ammo but no sniper rifle.

Indeed it is shared just like $$. You can get XP just from standing around doing nothing... though I don't recommend it.

I played for 10 minutes and got an instant headache. You can apparently change the FOV though the ini settings, which I'm going to do when I get home. I saw some comparison screenshots and it looks like it'll make a pretty big difference.

Link to the FOV shots. I want to check them out before hand.

Also from what I read I think that the game resets it if you sprint or get in or out of vehicles. So either you have to set up a separate bind to keep the fov you want and hit it to reset, or if the game supports it, set your sprint/use key to set the fov in addition to sprinting and using.

Any time I have the slightest trouble installing or running a PC game and wonder if it's worth it, I see things like this and the other .ini edits and know that yes, yes it is. :D

HUGE difference.

Just bought dl'ing now. Planning on playing with Fig or whatever the hell he calls himself now. P.S. I heard he was g-a-y, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Yeah, thanks for the link with all the tweaks. Fig and I couldn't get a game going for some reason. Joined with Taggart and probably did more harm than good, because I wasn't able keep up due to my low level. The game is pretty, but the PC version needs more work. My name is PoopRiot and I'm a soldjah.

Took a while setting up my port forwarding so a friend could join my game, then got a few piddly quests in (just now took out nine-toes) before I started crashing repeatedly.

Last time I booted up the game I was in a single player game for all of about two seconds before the whole computer went down. :(

Man, I think you need to do some troubleshooting on your hardware. o_O

It's nice to see a Brick. I pretty much sat in a single player game for 5 hours while working on a frustrating assignment yesterday, and then did a "few" side quests before going to bed. Now I have a level 20 Roland.

Just in case anybody needs the list of ports to forward, Borderlands is in the list.

senor, rejection is a large pill to swallow, but swallowing large objects is your specialty. i'm sorry, you're just not my type. i need a man whole can only swallow small things...wait...that's not what I meant.

That's what I'm starting to think as well. Probably vid card, which of course is the only part in the entire damn thing I've bought in the last 3 years. :mad:

I'd start with memtest86 and then Prime95 just to rule out CPU and RAM.

I found some sweet gear while soloing. I have 2 sniper guns one that does insane flame damage to flesh creatures and another that does insane explosion damage. I now cycle between the two depending on the mobs.

Then I have a sweet electrical revolver that stuns and DOTs. It's also powerful and has a fast reload time.

Finally I have a wicked Assault rifle that only holds 12 bullets at a time and fires 4 bullets in a short bursts. Sounds weak, but each burst does insane critical damage and the reload time is less then a second.

Ouch..could your new vid card be causing your power supply to trip?

This game is really boring if you play solo.
