To do this, you stand on the top of the drill, line yourself up in the direction you want to travel, with your back towards the direction you want to travel, tab out of the game, then fire. Your character hurtles through the air, which, in combination with Borderlands 4\u2019s glide ability, lets you pass over significant areas of the map.<\/p>\n<p>As noted in a social media post, cricket jumping will play a crucial role in Borderlands 4 speedrunning. But will it last? Creative Director Graeme Timmins responded on social media to say \u201cI\u2019ve got my eye on this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it sounds like cricket jumping is here to stay, at least for now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy only worry is streaming issues or if this introduces instability,\u201d Timmins continued. \u201cNot out to ruin people\u2019s fun, but can\u2019t have it cause tech issues. For now tho, not going to do anything until proven issues arise.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019ve got my eye on this.

Digital Foundry\u2019s Tom Morgan confirmed this does restore performance, but criticized the situation, saying \u201cresetting the game every hour should really not be an expected solution for players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PC version, meanwhile, is still on a mixed Steam review rating, with most of the negative comments revolving around PC performance. Digital Foundry has said its <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/2v1ST5qMoaY?feature=shared\"><u>initial analysis of Borderlands 4 on PC<\/u><\/a> shows significant stutter problems, and have advised against running the game on its \u2018Badass\u2019 graphics setting, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/tech-experts-say-borderlands-4-on-pc-runs-worse-than-usual-for-an-unreal-engine-5-game-advise-against-badass-setting\"><u>which suggests there are indeed problems with the Unreal Engine 5 title<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Gearbox has said addressing PC performance is a \u201ctop priority\u201d for the studio.
