‘Borderlands 2′ patch in Microsoft certification, fixes freezing issue for some users

Are you having issues with Borderlands 2 freezing on the Xbox 360? Well, there may be some good news in your not-so-distant future. Chris Faylor, community manager at Gearbox, has confirmed that a patch is scheduled to be released next week that may fix this problem for some users.

“We’re hesitant to say it will address all instances due to the possibility of there being other factors exhibiting similar behavior,” he commented. “That’s something we’re continuing to investigate and dig into with the assistance of Microsoft.”

“We’re optimistic that this will help in at least some cases and will allow us to better diagnose / address any remaining causes.”

Faylor was unable to state what exactly was causing the problem, but he believes “that the corruption of some profile-level data can be one of the major contributors to freezing behavior.”

It’s a frustrating issue that progressively gets worse over time, especially for those who bought the Season Pass and have already had to deal with the Badass Rank reset bug as well. As we hope for the best, stay tuned for updates.

Dillon has been writing for almost half a decade now and has slowly worked himself up the ladder. At one point he single-handedly covered PAX East and E3. (Yeah, he's kind of awesome.) The staff might still consider him a baby, but you can find him and his witty sarcasm on Twitter @Kamikaze8.

    Well, the patch didn’t come out this week and despite paying $60+ for this game on release day, I only got to play it for ~20 hours before game-breaking freezing made it unplayable. GEARBOX I want my money back. You did not sell me a game. You sold me a $2 coaster and stole $58 from me and thousands of other gamers. You will not be receiving my business in the future and I encourage anyone who reads this to look to other developers with more integrity and reliability for their gaming needs.
