Oblivion Remastered players are eagerly awaiting a new patch, a month after the game's release. Discover what fans are hoping to see 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 launch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, yet developer Bethesda has not provided any updates on upcoming patches. The lack of communication has led to increased anxiety among fans, with many taking to Reddit to express their concerns and suggest improvements.
While Bethesda did release a hotfix just three days after the game's launch, it unfortunately introduced new problems, including the removal of upscaling options. Although a subsequent patch addressed this issue, some players reported that it required a cumbersome workaround to restore the upscaling functionality.
Despite these efforts, players are still grappling with numerous bugs, with the Kvatch quest bug being particularly frustrating. This bug can soft-lock players, preventing them from progressing further in the game. Although the community has devised temporary solutions, the developers have yet to officially tackle this issue.
Fans remain optimistic that Bethesda will soon release a patch, especially after a month of silence. Many have voiced their desires for future updates, including inventory subcategories, enhanced controller shortcuts, and more.
Consoles Need It More
The demand for updates is particularly urgent for console players, who are facing significant performance issues. Reports from last week highlighted that PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game suffer from memory management problems, leading to persistent glitches and stutters in specific areas of the game world.
Bethesda has not yet addressed these concerns, leaving console players to seek their own workarounds. In an effort to engage with the community, Bethesda recently opened an Oblivion suggestions channel on their official Discord server, encouraging fans to share feedback and suggestions for the game.
Oblivion Remastered Player Paralyzed for 66 In-Game Years
In a lighter note, a player shared an amusing predicament on Reddit. User Vaverka recounted being paralyzed for 2,097,762,304 seconds—or 66 in-game years—due to a self-inflicted curse. Vaverka humorously compared this duration to the reign of Emperor Uriel Septim in the Elder Scrolls series. While many were curious about how to replicate this spell, Vaverka has not yet revealed the recipe.
As players continue to explore Oblivion Remastered, they are uncovering both new features and persistent bugs. Given that it has been 20 years since the game's original release, fans are hopeful that Bethesda will address their concerns and enhance the beloved game soon. Ideally, a patch will be released before Vaverka's spell wears off.
