Essential improvements

Skip intro videos

Use the -nostartupmovies command line argument[citation needed]
This causes a bug where a cutscene doesn't play early on in the story line (Lost Legion Invasion) and the player is stuck in a container, unable to continue.

This is outdated information. -Nostartupmovies works fine. You do not get stuck, at least in modern Steam versions. Do not use -nomovies. That will still cause the bug described above.

Edit configuration file[1]
  1. Go to the configuration files location.
  2. Open WillowEngine.ini.
  3. Find [FullScreenMovie]
  4. Change values to:
[FullScreenMovie]
bForceNoMovies=FALSE
;StartupMovies=2K_logo
;StartupMovies=Gearbox_logo
;StartupMovies=Loading
SkippableMovies=2K_logo
SkippableMovies=Gearbox_logo
SkippableMovies=2k_Australia_logo
SkippableMovies=NVidia
SkippableMovies=Attract
SkippableMovies=MegaIntro
;ConfirmSkipMovies=MegaIntro

Disable the launcher

Use the -NoLauncher command line argument[2]

Turn off texture streaming

Edit Configuration File[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration files location
  2. Open WillowEngine.ini.

Issues fixed

Linux

Fix blocky text

Disable Steam overlay[6]
Some Linux distributions and GPUs may see blocky, unreadable, or corrupted-looking text on the in-game fonts. This can be fixed by disabling the Steam overlay.

SHiFT login issue

This happens due to the fact the game uses /usr/lib/ssl path to store the certificates in Ubuntu-based distros. Some other distros however uses /etc/ssl/ path instead.
Change the direction to store certificates[citation needed]

Add this command to the Launch Options... SSL_CERT_DIR=/etc/ssl/certs

Windows

Disable Borderlands 3/Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Banner Advertisement

Delete or rename the following file: <path-to-game>\WillowGame\CookedPCConsole\UI_Frontend_Upsell_SF.upk[7]
Doesn't remove the Borderlands 3/Tiny Tina's Wonderlands menu item.

Segmentation Fault Error

There are multiple methods of fixing this issue.
Run the game with -nomoviestartup or in Steam Native mode
Compile 32-bit GlibC with -mstackrealign on

1. Download the source code of glibc and run this command in terminal [2] 

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/glibc/build \
     --host=i686-linux-gnu \
     --build=i686-linux-gnu \
     CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32" \
     CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -mstackrealign" \
     CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -mstackrealign"

2. Copy the symlinked libc.so and libc.so.6 into the installation folder

Remove the libraries included with Steam[citation needed]

Run these commands in Terminal: 

$ find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" -o -name "libgpg-error.so*" \) -print -delete

$ find ~/.local/share/Steam/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" -o -name "libgpg-error.so*" \) -print -delete

Enable the console

Edit configuration file[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration files location.
  2. Open WillowInput.ini.
  3. Find the following section and add these values.
[Engine.Console]
ConsoleKey=Tilde
TypeKey=Backslash

Notes

Open the console with Ctrl+~ or Ctrl+\.

Disable PhysX

Configuration File Editing[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Edit WillowGame.ini.
  3. At the end add bPhysXEnabled=False
  4. Edit WillowEngine.ini.
  5. under the [Engine.Engine] section add bDisablePhysXHardwareSupport=True
  6. Right Click on WillowGame.ini and select the Read Only checkbox located at the bottom then push OK.

Skip cutscenes

Configuration File Editing[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  2. Edit WillowGame.ini.
  3. under the [FullScreenMovie] section change bForceNoMovies=FALSE to bForceNoMovies=TRUE
  4. Save & exit the file.
This will skip all cutscenes in the game, very useful after multiple playthroughs or when replaying the game with different characters. This is mainly intended for people who are familiarized with the story.
This also causes a bug at the beginning of the game when meeting Janey Springs where the player won't be able to leave their launchpod, to resolve this, it's mandatory to use this method to skip cutscenes after this event in the story.
