Borderlands 2 Yuzu 'link'

Here’s a comprehensive feature overview of Borderlands 2 running on the Yuzu emulator (typically on PC, Android, or Steam Deck). This covers performance, setup, modding, and unique advantages/disadvantages compared to native PC or console versions.

Graphics (Advanced Tab)

• API: Vulkan (OpenGL crashes frequently during fighting)
• Device: Your dedicated GPU (Do not use integrated graphics)
• Resolution: 1x (720p/1080p) – Scaling to 2x or 3x causes scope glitches and crashes in the Hammerlock’s Hunt DLC.
• VSync: On (Off causes physics bugs where vehicles fly randomly)
• Window Adapting Filter: Bilinear (Sharpened causes artifacting on UI)
• Anti-Aliasing: None (The game’s cel-shading looks fine without it, and AA kills performance)
