Still bugged?
I have read in many (2020) reviews that this game has quite a lot bugs, even some not working achievements.

Is it still that bad, or have they fixed the game later (between 2021 & 2024)?

i just finished the main campaign and so far i rarely encountered a bug so i think they already fixed many bugs that were found before this year

The most common bug I've encountered is a game crash with the vendor preview when approach vendors. Especially if you look from one vendor to another.

Second most common would be some soldier enemies who end up becoming invincible for some reason but you can legit ragdoll them into instant death pits to deal with that if it occurs during mandatory mobbing segments.

Will note that even though I say these are the most common ones I encounter, most of the time I end up going through multi-hour sessions without having them occur.

Thanks to all of you. I'll give this game a chance.

I hope to be satisfied.

they have fixed most of the worst bugs - so it is quite playable.

Sadly they also made really stupid, or even insulting, choices for some bugs. Like the hud-scaling was bugged - that bug is no more. But not cause they fixed it: They changed it several times, making it even more broken with each attempt, and then just removed that option alltogether.

Or just annoying bugs like you can't scroll through the skill descriptions (so there are a few skills that you need to google to see what they do), or the hardcoded key-binds for emotes to the arrow-keys: You can map your movement to arrow-keys but it will bug out when doing things like walking and reloading.....

Some bugs that kill the whole vibe for me:

1) The aim reticle changes size after every cutscene or sometimes just randomly.

2) If you exit out of any menu from in game inventory or character skill menu your characters entire jaw and sometimes eye balls will float in mid air for a second or two.

3) The kill skill icons make no sense. The blink and disappear any time you use a skill or open any menu. Very distracting!

4) The game still has very poor texture streaming. It will stutter when new loot spawns.

#1 is the most annoying of them all to me.....:accat:

I noticed some minor but annoying bugs in the Handsome Jackpot dlc.

Like Freddie repeating the message about me killing Loaders everytime i zone transiton even long after the quest he says this in was completed

Some of "The Plan" cutscene animatons not rendering properly and I'm just staring at a black screen with characters voicing over it. Other times working fine and the animated plan drawings cutscene renders.

And i noticed on occassion some subtitles during the main quest of that dlc glitching out and being stuck and appearing during wrong voiceovers.

Honorable mention: Digby's Smooth Tube has no firing sound most of the time.

The UI is atrocious and unresponsive when using a mouse.
Apart from that, there are still a lot of minor bugs (mostly UI related, like the aim reticule changing size after cutscene or after visiting a vendor machine. Fix it by hitting ESC twice, or going into your map/inventory). Bothersome, but generally not enough to stop you from playing. You learn to live with them.

I have all achievements for this game somes years ago...my problems with this game was the crash, based on my experiencie, if you deal insane amount of dmg you will crash your game...example 800m in one hit(Amara) will crash your game.

It is absurd that they haven't fixed something like that. I really hope to have few problems, cause this title seems very interesting (and I am liking Borderlands 2).

Worst case scenario, I'll ask refund (but to properly try this title 2h are not enuugh; that's the problem. You would need at least 10h).

May I ask if you are playing with M&K or with a gamepad? Maybe that bug occurs only with one setting of controls.
A bug in the additional task "A moment of glory". Fulfilled all the conditions, but the following condition does not appear (in the Sacred Television Center). The only thing missing is this task to achieve. Does anyone have a solution?

May I ask what is your total playtime with BL3 and how many times has the vendor preview crash happened for you ?

Because I just encountered this crash yesterday, and i'm very curious what kind of frequency it has.

Cheers.

The stuttering makes it unplayable. There is no fix for the stuttering.
