Oblivion Remastered players are eagerly awaiting a new patch, more than a month after the game's release. Discover what fans are hoping to see in future updates and why console players are in particular need of these fixes.
Oblivion Remastered Has Yet to Have a Patch
Fans Are Looking for an Update
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has been available for over a month, yet developer Bethesda has not provided any updates on forthcoming patches. The silence from Bethesda has left Reddit users anxious and vocal about what they want fixed or added to the game.
It's worth noting that Bethesda did release a hotfix just three days after the game's launch. Unfortunately, this update introduced new problems, including the removal of upscaling options. Although a subsequent patch addressed this issue, some players reported needing a cumbersome workaround to enable upscaling again.
Despite these efforts, players are still eagerly awaiting new updates, especially given the game's ongoing issues with bugs. A significant problem is the Kvatch bug, which soft-locks players during the quest, preventing further progress. While the community has developed a quick workaround, Bethesda has yet to officially address this issue.
Despite the lack of updates, fans remain hopeful that Bethesda will soon release a patch, as they've been silent for about a month. Some fans have even compiled lists of desired improvements, including inventory subcategories, better controller shortcuts, and more.
Consoles Need It More
The demand for an update is justified, but console players are particularly in need of fixes. As reported last week, the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game experience performance degradation the longer they are played.
Reports suggest that the console versions may have a memory management issue, which causes consistent glitches and stutters in specific areas of the game world. Bethesda has not yet addressed these concerns, leaving players to find their own workarounds.
A few weeks ago, Bethesda opened an Oblivion suggestions channel on their official Discord server, encouraging fans to provide feedback and suggest improvements for the game.
Oblivion Remastered Player Paralyzed for 66 In-Game Years
In other news, a player found themselves in a unique situation after self-inflicting a paralysis spell that lasted an astonishing 2,097,762,304 seconds, or 66 in-game years. In a Reddit post dated May 20, user Vaverka shared his experience, humorously comparing the duration to Emperor Uriel Septim's reign over Tamriel in the Elder Scrolls series. While many are curious about how to replicate this spell, Vaverka has not yet shared the recipe.
Players continue to uncover various aspects of the game, including its bugs, and the current version is essentially what the game was intended to be, given its original release 20 years ago. Fans are hopeful that Bethesda will address their concerns and enhance the game they love soon. Ideally, these patches will arrive before Vaverka's spell wears off.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (and included in Xbox Game Pass), and PC. Stay updated with the latest game information by checking out our article below!
