This is an archive of the hotfixes which are being sent to Borderlands 3. The first hotfix data was manually collected on September 21, 2019, and the next few after that were collected manually as well. Starting on October 1, 2019, this project was created to check the hotfix data every hour and write out the hotfixes automatically.

The hotfixes are written twice: once to a brand-new file which includes a datestamp, stored in the point_in_time directory, and once to hotfixes_current.json.

The script which does this is written in Python 3, and should run anywhere Python does, though you'll need to edit output_dir inside the script itself to have it save out files properly. Check requirements.txt inside the script dir for the extra Python modules needed for it to run.

All code in this project is is licensed under the New/Modified (3-Clause) BSD License. A copy can be found in COPYING.txt.

I've also put up a Google Sheets page which has the all of the hotfixes which have been used by GBX (including ones which are no longer active) up here: Combined Hotfixes. That sheet has all the fields split out properly into columns, which can make hotfix investigation a lot easier.

(I'm numbering hotfixes and patches here based on what's officially announced in the "News" section at borderlands.com, though there have been plenty of smaller hotfixes/patches which haven't been announced in that area. Often it'll just be a tweet, or in a few cases a silent update without any announcement at all. A bit silly to keep numbering them, really, but I suppose I'll continue regardless...)
