New Oblivion Remastered Patch Breaks the Game for Many Players

It’s undeniable that the release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was a stealth success, with both returning and new fans of Oblivion eagerly anticipating the updated version of this classic tale. However, players have been asking for a patch for the game almost since its launch. Just last week, the first major update for Oblivion Remastered entered Steam beta, and now it’s available across all platforms. The issue is that while it addresses some bugs, it appears to be introducing new ones as well.

The updated version 1.1 of Oblivion Remastered has been released on every platform as of June 11th. This update comes with a considerable number of bug fixes and enhancements, which theoretically addresses all the requests from fans. However, the reality has been somewhat rocky. From issues installing the files to persistent game crashes post-update, numerous players are experiencing problems where the new Oblivion Remastered patch seems to be causing more harm than good to their gaming experience.

Shortly following the release of the latest patch for Oblivion Remastered on all platforms, players voiced their opinions on the r/Oblivion_Remaster subreddit. Initially, the overwhelming response was one of pure delight at finally receiving an update for the game! Farewell, quest glitches. Greetings… invisible adversaries and corrupted save files?

Gamers Report Crashes, Missing Save Files, and Invisibility with Latest Oblivion Remastered Update

Players using Xbox, Steam, and PS5 have encountered various issues since they’ve updated (or attempted to update) the latest version of Oblivion Remastered. Frequently reported problems include increased frame rate stuttering, difficulties launching the game, and crashes. A few gamers are encountering trouble with missing save files, a problem that’s been persistent since the remaster’s release. Fortunately, many have managed to restore their saves by simply restarting the game or, for PC users, verifying the correct location of their save files.

As a gamer, I’ve been dealing with quite a few game-ruining bugs that make it tough to fully immerse myself in the game. On the flip side, there are some amusing, offbeat glitches popping up too, which somehow manage to make the gaming experience more enjoyable. For instance, I find myself and several NPCs mysteriously vanishing or becoming semi-transparent, almost like we’ve stepped into an invisible cloak! It’s important to note that this isn’t part of the intended quest line where NPCs are supposed to be hidden; instead, it seems to be a fresh glitch introduced with the latest update.

In some video games, players have mentioned experiencing issues where certain aspects of their character (avatar) become hidden, while others claim that all non-player characters (NPCs) and opponents have disappeared. This problem doesn’t seem to be affecting many people, but there are a few instances of it being reported.

Although some players have faced difficulties, it’s worth mentioning that the Oblivion Remastered update has rectified numerous issues. Players who aren’t encountering certain game-halting glitches have reported improved performance overall. Given the scale of this update, a few hiccups are not entirely surprising, but it seems like additional hotfixes might be necessary before the update functions optimally. Fortunately, Bethesda has announced that they are working on another patch, suggesting that adjustments to make the current one run more smoothly can be made.

At the moment, there isn’t a specific release date for the next update of the game, “Oblivion Remastered”. Players who have been experiencing troubles with the current version have tried solutions like uninstalling and reinstalling the game, which seem to help to some extent. If you run into significant problems while playing “Oblivion Remastered”, feel free to reach out to Bethesda Support for assistance.
