Steam – the difference between borderlands and borderlands GOTY edition

You might try some of these (I would try Gvaz's fix before a full wipe), or this fix. Hopefully you get it fixed!

You could also try renaming nvcpl.dll in the Borderlands\binaries folder, think I saw that on Reddit a bit back.

Edit: In case threads go down, here are suggested fixes:

1. close steam
2. rename borderlands folder
3. start steam and the download started by itself and finished
4. shut down steam again, deleted the new folder after copying over to the old one, renamed old one
5. started steam, and I could play the game.

Second fix:

1. i deleted all my microsoft visuall version and installed the 4 that are mentioned in this thread: http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/sh...d.php?t=114803
2. i switched borderlands language to english
3. i have to get rid of the "write-protection" of my steam order everytime before i want to start the game.

Try this last!

After trying everything i mentioned a few times and other semi-fix attempts i decided to nuke and pave. With a fresh install of windows and 1.40 borderlands works. It seems for one reason or another the patch and/or something working together on my previous install may have corrupted/screwed up one of the two dlls that borderlands error is complaining about (i replaced the first one, couldnt replace the second one as it was write protected).

This quest is a quest that would not normally be assigned. The reason this quest popped up for you after playing online is that whoever hosted the game had modded their save file to make them have that quest, and because you joined them, it was passed on to you. There is no way to complete it in game, so you'll have to use WillowTree (a Borderlands modding tool) to mark the quest as completed.

Download it from that link, unzip it, and run the exe. Click the willow tree icon in the top left and select Open. Go to your saved games (Documents/My Games/Borderlands/savedata) and select the right save. If you don't know which one it is, no worries, just open one of them and go to the General Info tab in WillowTree to see if that's the right one.

Once you've opened the right save, go to the Quests tab, expand Playthrough 2 Quests, and select Keeping Your Insides Inside. Open the Progress dropdown, and select Finished. Then click the WillowTree icon again, hit save, and load up your character in game. You should no longer have to worry about trying to finish that quest.
