Players Demand Remastered Patch for Oblivion

Oblivion Remastered players eagerly await a new patch, over a month since the game’s launch. Dive into what fans are hoping for in future updates and why console players are in greater need of these fixes.

Oblivion Remastered Has Yet to Have a Patch

Fans Are Looking for an Update

It's been over a month since the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, and Bethesda has yet to provide any updates on upcoming patches. The lack of communication has left fans anxious, with many taking to Reddit to voice their concerns and list issues they hope to see addressed.

While Bethesda did release a hotfix just three days post-launch, it introduced new problems, including the removal of upscaling options. A subsequent patch attempted to fix this, but some players reported needing a complex workaround to restore the upscaling feature.

Despite these efforts, the game remains plagued by bugs, such as the notorious Kvatch bug that can soft-lock players during a quest. The community has developed temporary solutions, but an official fix from Bethesda is still pending.

Fans remain hopeful, eagerly anticipating a patch that could address their wish list, which includes inventory subcategories, enhanced controller shortcuts, and other improvements.

Consoles Need It More

The demand for updates is particularly strong among console players, who have reported significant performance issues that worsen with prolonged gameplay. Recent reports suggest that the PlayStation and Xbox versions might be suffering from memory management problems, leading to consistent glitches and stutters in specific areas of the game.

Bethesda has not yet responded to these concerns, leaving players to devise their own workarounds. In an effort to gather more feedback, Bethesda recently launched an Oblivion suggestions channel on their official Discord server, encouraging fans to share their thoughts and suggestions.

Oblivion Remastered Player Paralyzed for 66 In-Game Years

In a lighter note, a unique in-game incident caught the community's attention when a player, Vaverka, shared on Reddit that they had self-inflicted a paralysis spell lasting 2,097,762,304 seconds—or 66 in-game years. Vaverka humorously compared this duration to Emperor Uriel Septim’s reign in the Elder Scrolls series.

While this spell was self-inflicted and not a bug, it highlights the creative and sometimes quirky experiences players are having with the game. Vaverka has not yet shared the recipe for this spell, leaving others curious about how to replicate it.

As players continue to explore and uncover various aspects of Oblivion Remastered, including its bugs, there's a collective hope that Bethesda will soon address these issues. The game, a remaster of a 20-year-old classic, is still cherished by its fanbase, who are eagerly awaiting improvements.
