Fans did not wait for official updates. The first modifications have already appeared, designed to increase comfort. Ultimate Engine Tweaks improves performance without noticeable damage to graphics, and Borderlands Optimizer reduces freezes by optimizing shader compilation and streaming resource loading.
The popularity of mods is growing: Ultimate Engine Tweaks has collected 127 thousand views and more than 33 thousand downloads on Nexus Mods. Borderlands Optimizer showed 50 thousand views and more than 12 thousand downloads.
These solutions do not cut visual settings and are aimed at maximizing the use of PC resources. But the result depends on the configuration: for some players, performance increases significantly, while for others there are almost no changes. In rare cases, mods can cause errors that are resolved by deleting the file.
