Borderlands 2 Bug Wiping Progress for Some Players

A bug affecting some players of Borderlands 2 is apparently wiping unlocked progress. As noted in a 33-page thread on the official Gearbox forums, some players are starting up the game to find Badass Ranks, golden keys, heads, skins and achievement progress reset to zero. Worse still, menus displaying the content or challenges don’t actually reset, meaning the game thinks the content is unlocked even if you don’t have access to it, so you can’t re-earn skins or replay challenges in order to get them back.

The bug in question can be seen in the video below from YouTube user RyogaWanderer:

Gearbox community manager Chris Faylor responded to the thread, thanking fans for their feedback and noting “Our engineers are looking into this, and the information you've provided has proven to be a great resource while we investigate. At the moment, it seems to be a fairly rare issue and we'll keep you updated on when we resolve it.”

The only solution discovered so far comes in this post from user CrimsonSamuraiX who notes “If anyone logs into their character and notices you've been hit with the glitch and lost your badass ranks / skins, try immediately quitting the game without saving (shutting the game off on the spot might work too)." He reports that doing so has reportedly restored progress for some users.

We’ve reached out to Gearbox about the bug and will update with any comment we receive. Are you experiencing the problem? Tell Gearbox your situation on its official forums and let us know in the comments below.

Thanks to Joystiq for the heads up.

Dishonored IGN Livestream This Week

IGN has been excitedly following the progress of Dishonored since its announcement, but now you can see what all the fuss is about for yourself. This Wednesday (26 September) from 7.30pm BT (or 11.30am PT if you’re in North America, and 4.30am AEST Thursday 27 September if you’re in Australia) IGN and Bethesda will be showing off the Kaldwin’s Bridge level of the game, not once but twice, to demonstrate the countless different ways you can get through the game.

The livestream will be taking place at an event in central London and one of the game’s developers will be on hand to provide insight into the game. Then, directly after the playthrough, we’ll be linking up live with Arkane Studios president Raphaël Colantonio and co-creative director Harvey Smith for an exclusive question and answer session to find out more about Dishonored.

Of course, you’ll be able to catch it all on IGN – indeed, on this very page – so don’t forget to bookmark in preparation for Wednesday’s unveiling. And if you want to get involved, simply Tweet your question to @IGNUK using the hashtag #IGNDishonored.

See you Wednesday!
