Bethesda has recently launched the first update for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, but it appears to have introduced bugs for some players. The hotfix was primarily intended to enhance the game, yet many users have reported issues, particularly relating to upscaling options.
As a result, PC gamers are currently unable to enable DLSS, a feature that enhances graphical performance. The announcement of Oblivion Remastered came after months of speculation, and its release earlier this week saw it become an immediate success, peaking at over 182,000 concurrent players on Steam.
This remarkable achievement is noteworthy, especially considering that the game has also been available through the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. However, the recent 1.9GB hotfix has drawn mixed reactions from the community.
Despite Bethesda’s assertion that the update would not alter gameplay, many players have expressed frustration over the reported problems related to game settings, especially the disabling of upscaling features. Additionally, some players are facing challenges within the game’s quests, particularly in the “Battle for Castle Kvatch” mission.
Many find themselves stuck as NPCs do not trigger properly after enemies are defeated. Fortunately, a workaround has surfaced; players can eliminate enemies in a different part of the courtyard, collect necessary items, and resolve the issue.
On a positive note, Oblivion Remastered boasts an impressive array of over 200 mods despite lacking official mod support. While console gamers may not benefit from this, PC users have plenty of options to customize their gameplay.
These mods include enhancements such as unlocking map markers, introducing new difficulty levels, and altering the game’s visual elements, providing diverse opportunities for exploration and engagement in the classic title.
