 Found this on the official forums regarding turning off built in voice chat: Just figured this one out.
 My Documents>MyGames>Borderlands>Willowgame>Config
 
 Find WillowEngine.cfg.
 
 Go down till you find
 bHasVoiceEnabled=true
 
 Change it to false. Bingo. Use teamspeak, vent or whatever now.

 Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.  We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail |  |  |  |

 Ok, so maybe it is a good thing I have to wait until after work to play (and I'm on west coast time).  Hopefully I wont have to deal with being blue balled like you people are    |

 Game locks up anytime I try.  Also wish we could just create password protected F13 games rather than making public games or making a private game you have to invite people into. |

 I was going to try to jump into yours since I saw there were only two of you in the chan on Vent, but I'm still decrypting.  72% |

 Apparently, as long as you VPN to the US/Canada and set your content server appropriately, the game is now available worldwide.    Edit: And if you put Steam into offline mode after that, it stays unlocked. If you log back in, it locks again. But hey. Just stay offline for 4 days. |

 Having fun so far, but the interface is shit.  I guess to an extent it works because it doesn't pop you out of "aim mode" into "mouse mode" but it's clunky as hell for a game that has you accepting quests and switching inventory items around. |

 The close window x is soooo tiny in the top right didn't even notice it. Edit: other .config hacks Where theres no menu options you can change UseVsync=False to True to turn it on. |

Go to Settings, change you content server to one of the US or Canada ones. 4. Restart steam. 5. Unlock Borderlands. Launch it. Quit out once it launches. 6. In the File menu on steam, choose "Go Offline". Confirm the decision. 7. Close VPN connection. 8. Launch steam. When prompted, choose "Stay Offline". 9. BORDERLANDS 3.5 DAYS EARLY, BITCHES. |

 How about creating an f13 Hamachi group? That way you can create a LAN and set a password for it. It's free for up to 16 clients. That's four full groups. |

 Can you invite people to a multiplayer game from Steam, or do we need to get a list of Gamespy IDs going?
 Fwiw, I just made a new one since its been so long since I've used gamespy I had no idea what my old info was.  [F13]Malakili is my new ID.

 Yes. Yes I did. From the edit: "And if you put Steam into offline mode after that, it stays unlocked. If you log back in, it locks again. But hey. Just stay offline for 4 days."
 So, steps for anyone outside the US/Canada:
 
 1. Get a US/Canada VPN connection. Connect it.
 2. Log in to Steam.
 3. Go to Settings, change you content server to one of the US or Canada ones.
 4. Restart steam.
 5. Unlock Borderlands. Launch it. Quit out once it launches.
 6. In the File menu on steam, choose "Go Offline". Confirm the decision.
 7. Close VPN connection.
 8. Launch steam. When prompted, choose "Stay Offline".
 9. BORDERLANDS 3.5 DAYS EARLY, BITCHES.
 
 If you can still click on LAN, wouldn't it be possible to use Hamachi to play online with others? |

 Man, as far as I can tell, this is a victim of "amazing game, TERRIBLE PORT"
 Seriously, the lack of options in the PC menu, the use of fucking gamespy for multiplayer, it's all just a clusterfuck that screams "we made a 360 game and then thought we could port it in a week to PC"

 I'm not sure how steam handles it, but the old trick with Unreal 3 games was to delete/move the video files, and it would just skip trying to play them. Steam will likely just redownload them though. |
