Graphic Settings are All Over the place

[TheRussonNarrative]

Not only do I have the issue of none of my graphical settings saving when I set them, but I also have the problem where after playing the game for a certain period of time, the framerate collapses to less than 20 when I'm in larger parts of the game. I have a 3060ti, Ryzen 9 3900x, and 32gb RAM. I should be having no issues as far as I know. Anyone got an idea on how to give this game a consistent smooth fps?

All I can think of trying to mess w/ the .ini files. My PC is much worse than yours (1660, 16GB RAM so it's pretty bad), so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around w/ the files somewhat helped.

First thing I can think of: (This didn't do ♥♥♥♥ for me btw, but you can try this first)
Desktop > right-click > display settings > graphics settings > browse > add "BorderlandsGOTY" app > options > select "high performance"

Second: This is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ w/ the game files part
this involves a little bit of editing, sort of worked, the frame rate dies in some areas for me, but it also depends on PC imo
D:/My Games/Borderland Game of the Year/WillowGame/Config/WillowEngine > press ctrl+F > type in MinSmoothedFrameRate and you'll notice that it has a number next to it (it's usually 62), set that to 0, then under that there's MaxSmoothedFrameRate set that to 0 as well. bSmoothedFrameRate should say FALSE but in case it doesn't set it to FALSE. Then save this file (upper left corner > file > save)

if anything gets screwed verify the game files and all the game files will be back to normal

Can't find anything under bSmoothedFrameRate so not sure what to do about that. However, I'll test the above recommendations. Thank you.

Follow up, 110% worked. Thank you again so much for this. It was the answer I absolutely needed.
