New update removes the Borderlands 2 save delete virus

The Xbox 360 version of Borderlands 2 has been hit with a hack recently that, if you are killed by certain hackers online, deletes your saves. It’s been plaguing the game for some time now, and players have been clamouring for a fix. Gearbox has now delivered one.

The new update to Borderlands 2 removes this hack completely. “Added security to prevent data loss tied to malicious violations of the Xbox Live Code of Conduct through an unsupported third-party program,” says Gearbox’s Software Support page.

The patch also fixes additional problems in the game. Some of them are listed below:

• Fixed player first-person arms appearing too far up or down the screen when in horizontal/vertical split mode.
• Fixed players losing ammo when reloading a savegame with max ammo and a stockpile relic equipped.
• Fixed the vendor UI sometimes showing a count of 1 less item in the player’s backpack than is actually there.
• Fixed fast travel stations from downloadable content sometimes disappearing when loading a saved game.
• Fixed players getting stuck in a white box when two people try to travel at once and one is in a vehicle.
• Allowed players to trade with each other when at maximum backpack capacity if they’re trading the same number of items with each other.

Stay tuned for more updates.
