initialization error

[Huh wait]

please ensure the game files have not been corrupted or moved

how do i fix that

[r0b0h0b0]

Right click on games title in your library, go all the way down to properties, go to local files in top center, go down to verify integrity of files. Anything missing or corrupted should then re-download.

verifying integrity didn't fix it for me

So how do you did it?

[Tega]

Go to your Steam folder where the game files are located and run the BorderlandsGOTY.exe directly. Reinstalling and verifying game files did not work for me, but this did.

Located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\BorderlandsGOTYEnhanced\Binaries\Win64

You can also create a shortcut of the .exe and send it to your desktop for easier launching in the future.

Have the same problem with BL2 launcher, seems to be related to the new patch. I don't know about BL1 (still downloading *zzz* ) but it's the same message. But at least my game (BL2) saves when loading through BL2.exe.

Win 10 Pro, Ryzen 3, Nvidia GTX 1050Ti, 8 GB RAM.

It saved for me just fine :shrug:

This didn't work for me. Neither of the the fixes worked for me.

Nor me. In my case it was my Firewall / Windows Protection blocking it. I think the launcher does a connection check. I let BL through, relaunched first time.
