Summary

  • Bethesda released the first update for Oblivion Remastered, which seems to be causing bugs for some players.
  • The hotfix appears to have impacted upscaling options, preventing players from enabling DLSS on PC.
  • Despite issues, mods are available for Oblivion Remastered, offering new options for PC gamers.

Bethesda has rolled out the initial update for “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered.” This patch was designed as a minor fix, yet it appears to be generating issues for certain PC gamers.

This week, after much anticipation surrounding its development, “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered” was stealthily released. Shortly following its debut, the remastered version saw tremendous success, soaring to a player count of 182,298 on Steam – an impressive feat given it’s also accessible through the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.

Currently, Bethesda has rolled out a minor 1.9GB patch for the remastered version of “The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion,” but fans seem to be less than thrilled with it. Despite Bethesda’s assertion that this update was unrelated to gameplay, numerous players on social media have reported issues related to adjusting the game’s resolution settings. Specifically, a new bug seems to have surfaced preventing PC gamers from activating DLSS upscaling at present. Fortunately, developers are already cognizant of the problem and are working diligently to rectify it as promptly as possible. Unfortunately, Bethesda has not disclosed an official list of changes for this update yet.

Some Gamers Are Having Trouble With Oblivion Remastered’s First Patch

In the game Oblivion Remastered, many gamers have found it generally smooth, but there are a few problems at present that should be resolved shortly. For instance, the game currently has a glitch with Kvatch in Oblivion Remastered, which is causing trouble for some players. During the main quest, certain players find themselves stuck in the “The Battle for Castle Kvatch” mission because Savlian Matius doesn’t respond when they kill all the enemies in the courtyard. However, a solution has been discovered: Players can bypass this issue by killing the adversaries on the other side of the courtyard, retrieving the Colovian Signet Ring from Ormellius Goldwine’s corpse, and then returning to the courtyard, which should resolve the problem.

A concern that’s been bothering video game enthusiasts is that certain players have unexpectedly lost their save data in the remastered version of Oblivion on Xbox Series X/S and PC. Fingers crossed that upcoming updates address these problems, enhancing the overall quality of the game.

For Oblivion enthusiasts, it’s not all doom and gloom! In fact, Oblivion Remastered boasts over 200 mods, an achievement considering the game doesn’t officially support modding. This might not impact console gamers, but PC users are in for a treat with a wide variety of options to personalize their gaming experience. Among these choices are mods that enable map markers, introduce new difficulty levels, alter the color scheme of Oblivion Remastered, and much more.
