Oblivion Remastered players remain on edge, eagerly awaiting a much-requested patch, a full month after the game's release. While fans continue to express their frustrations online, let’s explore what they hope to see in future updates and why console gamers are particularly in need of these fixes.
Oblivion Remastered: Still Waiting for a Patch
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered launched with great fanfare, yet Bethesda has remained silent on the subject of patches. Despite a minor hotfix three days post-launch, which inadvertently introduced new problems like the removal of upscaling options, the game remains largely unchanged. Even though a follow-up patch restored the upscaling feature, it required a cumbersome workaround to take effect.
As players continue to encounter various bugs, such as the infamous Kvatch bug, which locks players into a quest and halts progress, frustration is mounting. Although the community has devised workarounds, there’s still no official word from Bethesda. Meanwhile, Reddit threads overflow with requests for improvements, including inventory subcategories, enhanced controller shortcuts, and additional features.
Console Gamers Need It More
While PC players have the option to tweak settings, console gamers face significant challenges. Reports suggest that PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game suffer from performance issues, particularly noticeable after prolonged play sessions. These glitches stem from a potential memory management flaw, causing frequent stutters and crashes in specific areas of the game world. Until Bethesda addresses these concerns, players must rely on workarounds to enjoy a smoother experience.
In response to player feedback, Bethesda recently launched an Oblivion suggestions channel on their official Discord server, inviting fans to share their thoughts and ideas for the game. It’s clear that the community’s voice is loud and clear—Bethesda needs to act swiftly to address these pressing issues.
A Curious Case: 66 In-Game Years of Paralysis
In another quirky development, a player named Vaverka found themselves in a bizarre situation. On May 20, Vaverka posted on Reddit about being paralyzed for 2,097,762,304 seconds—or 66 in-game years. This self-inflicted spell has sparked curiosity among the community, with many eager to learn how to replicate the effect. However, Vaverka has yet to share the details.
With countless discoveries, both intended and unintended, in Oblivion Remastered, players are holding onto hope that Bethesda will prioritize updates to enhance the game. For now, the current version remains as it was two decades ago, with fans urging the developers to deliver the patches they deserve.
Oblivion Remastered is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (via Xbox Game Pass), and PC. Stay tuned to our platform for the latest updates about the game. Who knows? Maybe Vaverka’s 66-year spell will end before Bethesda finally delivers the promised patch!
