Borderlands 2 Update Details

Borderlands 2 Update Details

This was more than just the Mechromancer

Written by punkyliar on 11 October 12 at 23:24 | Credit to mitchcraft1980

On Tuesday, Gearbox released the Mechromancer character for Borderlands 2. Players who already had access to the Premiere Club needed to download the character in-game. For those who did not pre-order a copy of the game or buy a new copy at all, the Premiere Club became available to purchase for 800 MSP. Alongside the release of the Mechromancer came a title update, but this patch contained more than just the necessary files for the new character. Here is a list of the fixes that were included in the update:

- Fixed an issue where a mission's level would sometimes reset to a lower level when loading a saved game.
- Fixed an issue with stacking skill icons not correctly refreshing in some cases.
- Fixed an issue where a client would sometimes hear a high-pitched distorted sound when respawning in a 4-player game.
- Fixed the player sometimes getting stuck on a long loading screen or infinite black screen when trying to travel quickly after entering some areas.
- Fixed red loot chests only spawning certain types of items.
- Corrected spawn rate of Michael Mamaril in Sanctuary.
- Fixed a bug where clients would occasionally crash when trying to join a server.
- Fixed controller vibration sometimes persisting indefinitely in splitscreen games.
Gearbox also added that they are working on "additional fixes for known issues". We'll bring you the latest updates as we find them!

"- Corrected spawn rate of Michael Mamaril in Sanctuary." does this mean he will spawn more or less?

C Daddy159 said:"- Corrected spawn rate of Michael Mamaril in Sanctuary." does this mean he will spawn more or less?I believe his spawn rate has been lowered down, since it was easy for people to farm him, all you needed to do it was get a weapon of him, exit Sanctaury and re enter and he would appear with a new weapon or shield, and this could be done infinite times.

-Spoiler-
When sanctuary is lifted into the air, his spawn rate is very low, and i believe this is meant to be his actual spawn rate and not 100% before sanctuary is in the air.

Maybe it was someone else they were complaining about then or maybe it was him and that he was too frequent

Herr Karamell said:- Added glitch that resets your badass rank, unlocked skins and golden vault keysExcept the fact that this update did not add that glitch. A week after the game came out, my game glitched, I lost all my skins and my badass rank reset. Last week, it did it again. I also found out today, that it happened for the third time.

So..I am going to beat the game and then go through it with the Mechromancer and unlock all that stuff again. Even though its cross-character play.

Well these fixes are nice, but I don't see anything for the "Do No Harm" quest glitch.

Thank you. I'm not sure where people are getting the idea the glitch has to do with this update or Mechromancer. Even Gearbox was aware and talking about fixing it less than 2 weeks after release.

You're welcome. It's true though. I don't dislike the game because of it. I mean, it's fun, but there are a lot of glitches. No game is glitch free. It's just very frustrating. This is one of those games I'm going to legitimately try for a game complete. Even if I have to go campaign complete with all five characters :D

C Daddy159 said:"- Corrected spawn rate of Michael Mamaril in Sanctuary." does this mean he will spawn more or less?He spawns less. On consoles, he had a 100% chance to appear before Sanctuary is in the sky (which was the wrong spawn rate), opposed to the 10% he has on the PC.
