Enable DirectX 10 for Borderlands in Windows 7 By Hilbert Hagedoorn, November 2, 2009 - 8:55 PM Hidden away .. I wonder why. If you're running Borderlands on a Windows 7 platform, chances are you aren't actually running the game in DirectX 10. Why? The bro's over at ShackNews posted a very easy fix that will switch to the DirectX 10 render path and a few tweaks that will give you more visual eye candy to look at. 1. Go to the directory --> C:\Users\[Your user Name]\Documents\My Games\Borderlands\WillowGame\Config a. Find the file WillowEngine.ini (make a copy and rename it as a backup)2. Find the section [SystemSettings]Change the following settings to True, you will see if you are currently in DX9 as well.AllowD3D10=True (this is the key one to enable the DX10 render engine)Also change the followingMotionBlur=TrueDepthOfField=TrueBloom=TrueUseHighQualityBloom=TrueFogVolumes=True
Do I have to purchase the game to be able to use it?Or can I beta test this DLC too?
One week ago, Gearbox Software revealed a third downloadable add-on was in the works for the studio's double-platinum action-RPG Borderlands. Without revealing a name, a member of the development staff did say the expansion would raise the game's current level 50 cap and also be the "biggest" DLC yet.Today, Gearbox named the expansion, which will be called The Secret Armory of General Knoxx. As the name implies, the expansion will focus on providing players with new weapons, presumably from the weapons locker of the aforementioned military officer. Gearbox said the add-on's quests will be geared at players level 34-50, but did not give a release date or price for the new content. Two shots accompanying the announcement indicated that General Knoxx is likely a commander of the Crimson Lance, the elite corporate army featured in the latter levels of the original game. One shot shows that the already heavily armed Lance troopers will be backed up by full-blown mechs with thick armor and nasty ranged and melee weapons. Another screen shows players driving a new type of vehicle, a six-wheeled off-road truck, battling what appear to be giant spiders in the desert.
