    If the Steam overlay isn't working then you won't see the achievement pop up while playing. Make sure the overlay is enabled.

    It just happens for some games. I don't think there is anything you can do about it from what I can tell.

    I've never had that happen with a game bought on steam, did you just add it as a game or purchased it from steam? I can't really think of anything else.

    Have you checked the Borderlands Steam forums, or the Steam help/FAQ for when the overlay doesn't work with a game? My brother had the same issue with TF2 a few years ago; don't remember how he fixed it.

    Whenever you're playing, make sure that the steam overlay is up. Otherwise, you could get screwed out of achievements. Happened to me and Darksiders.

    Borderlands was always kind of fucked up because they use that weird server browser thing and it is very poorly integrated with the steam friend lists. I haven't heard of cheevos not popping up, though :S
