『オブリビオン リマスター』、視覚バグに悩まされるもベセスダが調査中

It looks like Oblivion Remastered—the surprise re-release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion by Bethesda in partnership with Virtuos—has hit a rough start, particularly on PC, due to a poorly communicated and disruptive update.

🔴 Summary of the Issue:

• Unannounced patch released without patch notes.
• Upscaling features (DLSS, FSR) removed or locked, leaving players unable to adjust them.
• Settings interface broken: Players report being unable to change graphics settings, even though options are visible.
• Performance regression: Some users report lower frame rates (40–60 FPS) on high-end hardware like an AMD 5800X3D and RTX 5080.
• Save files now take longer to load, possibly due to corrupted or incompatible configurations post-update.

📌 Player Reactions:

• Gamers are furious, especially given the timing: just before the game’s first weekend.
• Many are calling out Virtuos and Bethesda for the lack of transparency.
• A viral tweet from @Web3Twon highlights the absurdity: “Why remove DLSS/FSR right before the first weekend?”
• Reddit and social media are flooded with complaints about locked settings, crashes, and longer load times.

✅ Bethesda’s Official Response:

In a support post, Bethesda acknowledged the issue:

"Any graphic settings configured before the Microsoft Store hotfix remain enabled and work as intended. However, you will temporarily be unable to modify those settings due to an issue with the settings interface. The team is investigating and working on a fix; we will share updates as soon as possible."

They claim the update was only meant to be backend adjustments with no direct impact on gameplay—but clearly, that’s not the case.

🛠️ What Can Players Do Now?

• Disable automatic updates via the Microsoft Store (or close the game’s auto-updater).
• Disconnect from the internet to prevent automatic downloads of the broken patch.
• Use the NVIDIA Control Panel to manually force upscaling (e.g., enable DLSS via global settings).
• Wait for an official hotfix—Bethesda says one is in progress.

⚠️ Note: PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players appear unaffected. The issue is currently isolated to PC via the Microsoft Store.

🔍 Why This Is a Big Deal:

• Oblivion is a cult classic, and this remaster was highly anticipated.
• Fans were excited to experience the game with modern enhancements like 4K textures, improved UI, and upscaling support.
• Instead, a rushed, untested patch removed the very features that made the remaster worthwhile.

📅 Looking Ahead:

• Bethesda has not given a timeline for the fix.
• The fact that the update broke core functionality so close to launch reflects poorly on quality assurance and communication.
• If the fix isn’t released quickly, player trust and goodwill could take a serious hit.

❓Poll: First Time Playing Remastered?

• This is my first time → Likely more affected, as they may not know the original's quirks.
• I've played before → Might miss the remaster's improvements, especially if upscaling is gone.

💬 Final Thoughts:

This is a classic case of a "hotfix from hell"—a minor patch that broke major features. While it's good that Bethesda is acknowledging the issue, they need to act fast. Fans are not just disappointed—they're angry.

🔔 Recommendation: Avoid the update for now if you're on PC via Microsoft Store. Wait for a patch that actually fixes, not breaks.

Stay tuned to official channels for updates. The Oblivion Remastered dream shouldn’t end in a frame rate crash.
