    I bought Borderlands yesterday to play with my cousin. It's a great game and i enjoy it but i have 2 issues with it. First off I can never join any multiplayer matches and when i do search for matches only about 3 games pop up. and I searched borderland forums and it seems like its a very active game. so I'm just confused why there are almost no multiplayer matches. And for some reason my 7950 gtx go's w/ 512mb each on SLI perform very poorly w/ or w/o SLI. And I have the most current driver from nvidia. I also tried the most current one from alienware as well.

    Look in the main Borderlands thread. ViciousXUSMC listed a bunch of ports that needed to be opened, and when you configure them, you can host and join multiplayer games. He's the resident Borderlands guru, and it's a fun game.

    Hope this helps.

    I'll try to dig up the ports needed to be opened, however. Have a good time with it!
