HUGE ad in BL2 main menu now??!!

[Cloudview]

They added Tiny Tina Wonderlands ads to BL2 and it takes up a big portion of the main menu now... It looks so ugly. Is there a way to remove this? I am so tired of Gearbox making things I love worse.

this sht broke my community patch... Can't get it to work now.

Really? That is so fking lame. First we got an update that broke all 3 games (BL Enahnced, BL2, BL TPS) and now this sht? Gearbox literally hates us it seems like. Just leave my game from 2012 alone ffs...

Now the question is, how do I revert this "update"
Starting the game in offline mode steam lets me "activate" the patch, but the game straight up crashes instead of doing nothing. Sigh

The corporate mind lacks emotion. These people literally do not care about their customers, their only care is making profit.

reinstalling BLCMM and Hexediting the Bl2.exe again did the trick

Personally I don't use the community mod. Is there a way to remove the ads without modding or using only cfg tweaks do you know?

Here's my quick solution:
- Open .\steamapps\common\Borderlands 2\WillowGame\CookedPCConsole\
- Find and rename "UI_Frontend_Upsell_SF.upk" and "UI_Frontend_Upsell_Texture_INT_SF.upk"

I usually add "z-" in front of the file name so these modified files show up last. Easy to find and undo the changes if something goes wrong. If that doesn't work, add ".bak" or any other extension at the end.

Disclaimer: My game works fine but I have no idea if these changes affected something else. Caveat lector.

Like "forced obsolescence" they dork with old ip's in order to push consumers into their latest product. Tiny Tina's Wonderlands was so bad and full of obvious identity politics I thought Disney had released a groomer game disguised as a Borderlands franchise entry. It got me to reinstall BL2 and then this...lovely.

PSA: Hex-edit your BL2 again and your mods should work. The recent updates ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up my Reborn running but it worked again after hex-editing BL2

Do achievements and save files work as intended still with this tweak? If so that is all I need at this point.

And once again I'm glad I didn't spend any money on the Borderlands franchise after Borderlands 2.

Save files work fine for me. Saving, loading, gameplay... everything works as before this patch. There's "Tiny Tina's Wonderland" entry in the main menu but I don't know how to remove it yet (it does nothing anyway). Achievements should work fine. I didn't change any achievement files. Anyway, backup your saves just in case.

Everything seems to work and the big ad on the main menu is gone. Thank you so much!

I will add that backing up save files is DEFINITELY something you should do before performing this adjustment. My saves were gone so thankfully I made a backup like you said. Ads even in minor forms bother me so thanks again!
