Borderlands gets first patch for the PC

Gearbox Software has patched the PC version of their excellent sci-fi shooter Borderlands.  The update mainly fixes a few bugs and other issues. Just consider this housekeeping, but Gearbox isn’t rearranging your furniture or anything. However, they have given us a reason to post the above picture of Siren’s bum, which is always a plus.

As you’ll recall, we recently published our Borderlands review, but none of the required fixed were a major issue in determining that the title was a huge success.

The patch will download immediately once you start up your Steam client.  Here is the list of fixes found within:

• Characters that have lost skill points will have the lost points refunded
• Clients will no longer lose proficiency progress upon leaving a co-op game
• Item cards now display the intended five lines of detail text
• Lilith’s Phase strike and melee attacks from Phase Walk now function as intended
• Voicechat: users can now control volume and individually mute players
• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused CL4P-TP to stop progressing during the introduction
• Server browser population times have been improved
• Server information should now always display the correct plot mission
• Benchmarking feature now works as intended
• Nvidia 3D Vision visuals now render shadows correctly (requires minimum 195.28 drivers, available from nVidia)
