Gearbox is addressing reports from players who are experiencing performance problems after the latest Borderlands 4 update. While the update released on September 25th included promised performance enhancements, some players have actually seen performance worsen.
Right from the start, players noticed that *Borderlands 4* was running poorly. While problems have been reported on all systems, they seem to be happening most often on PCs. Even players with high-end computers are experiencing low frame rates and stuttering. Gearbox has been working to fix these issues with early updates, but the game still isn’t running as smoothly as it should.
Gearbox Advises Borderlands 4 Players With Performance Issues to Stick With It For 15 Minutes
After the September 25th update for *Borderlands 4*, some PC players are reporting that performance problems – like low frame rates and stuttering – have actually increased, despite the update being intended to fix them. Gearbox Software has acknowledged the issue and suggested players continue playing, as the game compiles shaders in the background which should resolve the stuttering over time. They advise players who still experience problems after 15 minutes of gameplay to clear their shader cache using instructions from their graphics card manufacturer.
Fans had a varied reaction to the post, with many sharing their own issues after the update. Even if players carefully follow Gearbox’s instructions, it’s unclear how much the update actually improves things. It’s naturally upsetting for players when their game seems to be performing worse, especially without a clear fix. Some dedicated Borderlands 4 modders have tried to tackle the performance problems themselves, but even their expertise hasn’t fully resolved what’s happening with the game.

Although *Borderlands 4* received generally positive reviews from critics (averaging 83 on OpenCritic), many players have been disappointed by the game’s technical problems. The recent delay of the Nintendo Switch 2 version hasn’t improved the situation. Hopefully, the developers at Gearbox can fix these issues soon so players can fully enjoy the new *Borderlands* game.
