So, i have this copy of borderlands 2.
was playing beautifully for the last month.

But i had to re-install windows, due to somthing or the other.
Now the damn thing is not working. no error, nothing. it just shows up in the task manager for a instant.

Borderlands 2 | System Requirements | GeForce
^^ requirements. updated all the required stuff (except the amd/xp thing)
Actually, all these things were in a folder in the game dir itself, i installed it from there. also downloaded from net, just to be sure.


Game works on my 32 bit 4 yr old laptop. so, hardware and os is no problem.

details :

previous rig :
amd 955BE
2x2 gb ddr3 gskill @ 1300
hd 6770
1x 1 tb drive
windows 7 64 bit

current rig :
amd 955BE
2 gb ddr3 gskill @ 1300 <change
hd 6770
2x 1 tb drive <change
windows 7 32 bit <change

dammit, i was playing at full hd settings (except phyx, coz, who needs a proprietary nvidia tech, anyway) now i cant play at all. im so mad right now.
what can i do?

thanks for reading. wish me luck.
cheers

Same thing happened to me also for Sleeping Dogs. I just copied some files again from some spcl folder, and overwrite the original exe. After that it worked. Maybe some steam related issue.

Have you installed steam?

just install steam and try again. no need to add the game to steam or even keep steam running. else remove update/DLC and go back to base version.
