Those of you who own Borderlands for the PC, or who read my review, should know that the game launched with a ton of problems.  Luckily, Gearbox has just released patch 1.0.1 which fixes and eliminates some of those issues.  The two you’ll probably care about most are: 1) you can now control the volume of in-game voice chat, and 2) Lilith’s phase strike and melee attacks from phase walk now function properly.

To see a complete list of the patch notes, and to find out where to download the patch, hit the jump.

• Characters that have lost skill points will have the lost points refunded
• Clients will no longer lose proficiency progress upon leaving a co-op game
• Item cards now display the intended five lines of detail text
• Lilith’s Phase strike and melee attacks from Phase Walk now function as intended
• Voicechat: users can now control volume and individually mute players
• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused CL4P-TP to stop progressing during the introduction
• Server browser population times have been improved
• Server information should now always display the correct plot mission
• Benchmarking feature now works as intended
• Nvidia 3D Vision visuals now render shadows correctly (requires minimum 195.28 drivers, available from nVidia)

If you own a retail version of the game you can go to the Gearbox website and download the patch now.  If you purchased a digital copy though you’ll need to download the patch directly from them.  The retail patch will apparently not work with the digital copies.  I have no idea why this is.

Hopefully Gearbox will continue to put out patches to solve the large assortment of problems the game launched with.  I have my fingers crossed.
