Borderlands 3 Split-Screen Co-Op Is a Technical Disaster on PS4

Players are saying the co-op is unplayable in its current form.

It’s a disaster on Xbox one s as well. The frame rate is all over the place sometimes. If one persons goes into the menu the frame rate tanks, if you both go into it it’s a slide show for a bit (especially during the first mission).

I’ll be glad when the new console come out with much better CPUs to take care of issues like this.

Is anyone having better luck with the Xbox One X? Just checked the article and they assume the pro doesn’t fair much better.

I have an X, however I don't have any friends to invite over to play split screen.

[Profchaos]

You have bigger problems then

Most of my friends, or at least the people I talk to on a regular basis, aren't gamers. I have a few friends who game but they don't live near me so we don't game unless it's online.

Was playing it at work today in split screen, and while it seemed to not be as fluid as it should be, it didn't seem to be a technical disaster.

I find it funny reviewers where sent on a "review" edition on Epic store and told not to report any issue or bugs as its not the final game....

Early game in performance mode on enhanced consoles the game dips down to low 40's as soon as anything happens, I can imagine how great it holds up late game.

I've heard the one x at least is passable. Apparently the pro dips into the 20s from 60fps even just riding in a vehicle.

I play it on the Pro, and this doesn't happen at all, it doesn't deviate much from 60fps. You get slight dips here and there but it's generally fine. Playing split screen is a bit of a nightmare though when someone goes into a menu.

Sadly looks like Randy Pitchfords overall terribleness is now effecting gearbox as a whole

What a mess, it's not like it's pushing any graphical boundaries.
It's obviously just base console versions (xbox platform has less effects and details) just uprezzed for pro and x with zero optimisation. Massive red flags were obvious with the whole review scenario.

[Stanjara]

Why the hell did't they use Unreal 3 for this? It would be 60fps on consoles and 140fps on Pc.

This is why video reviewers on YouTube are much better because you are more likely to have them actually show you glitches and bad performance in a game that other major reviewers (IGN, Polygon, etc.) would ignore.

Going into the menu is laggy on the Pro but nowhere as terrible as Rage 2.
