It's saying "borderlands.exe is calling a Windows function which is looking for a file, but that file can't be found." The error doesn't specify which file, unfortunately. | |

Similar errors in Borderlands have occurred in the past due to poor multicore support. Try starting the program, then ctrl+alt+delete --> task manager --> right-click borderlands.exe --> set affinity --> set it to a single core. If that doesn't work, try right-clicking steamapps\common\borderlands\binaries\borderlands.exe --> properties --> compatibility --> run this program in compatibility mode (try all the different OS options).

| Jul 25, 2012 at 0:44 | comment | added | Gareth Jones | yes, thats the first thing he did, he's also tried using the files of both mine and another mate's. Both have given the error. Also reinstalled Diret X, and ran with the compatiabily settings | |

| Jul 25, 2012 at 0:42 | comment | added | Gareth Jones | I dont think there is a standalone copy, you have to have steam for both retail and on steam store.... but yes on steam | |
| Jul 25, 2012 at 0:40 | comment | added | Niro | Out of curiosity, is this on Steam? Or a standalone copy of the game? | |
