If you're running Borderlands on a Windows 7 platform, chances are you aren't actually running the game in DirectX 10. Why? Who knows. However, there is a very easy fix that will switch to the DirectX 10 render path and a few tweaks that will give you more visual eye candy to gawk at.


1. Go to the directory --> C:\Users\[Your user Name]\Documents\My Games\Borderlands\WillowGame\Config
a. Find the file WillowEngine.ini (make a copy and rename it as a backup)

2. Find the section [SystemSettings]
Change the following settings to True, you will see if you are currently in DX9 as well.

- AllowD3D10=True (this is the key one to enable the DX10 render engine)
Also change the following

- MotionBlur=True

- DepthOfField=True

- Bloom=True

- UseHighQualityBloom=True

- FogVolumes=True

All of these steps come to us from a user-posted comment on Shacknews (http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=21272678#itemanchor_21272678).
