Players Urgently Demand Oblivion Remastered Patch

The wait continues for a new patch for Oblivion Remastered, more than a month after the game's launch. Fans are eager to see improvements and fixes, particularly console players who are facing significant issues. Let's delve into what the community is hoping for and why console players are in dire need of this update.

Oblivion Remastered Has Yet to Have a Patch

Fans Are Looking for an Update

It's been over a month since The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered hit the shelves, yet Bethesda has remained silent about upcoming patches. This silence has fueled anxiety among fans, who have taken to Reddit to voice their concerns and wishlists. While Bethesda did release a hotfix three days post-launch, it inadvertently introduced new problems, including the removal of upscaling options. Although a subsequent patch addressed this, it required a cumbersome workaround to restore functionality.

Despite these efforts, players are still grappling with numerous bugs. A notable issue is the Kvatch bug, which soft-locks players in a quest, halting their progress. While the community has devised temporary solutions, an official fix is yet to be released. Fans remain hopeful, eagerly anticipating a comprehensive patch that could address their concerns and introduce requested features like inventory subcategories and enhanced controller shortcuts.

Consoles Need It More

The call for an update is especially urgent among console players, who are experiencing persistent performance issues. A recent report highlighted that PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game may suffer from memory management problems, leading to glitches and stutters, particularly in certain areas of the game world. Bethesda has not yet responded to these concerns, leaving players to find their own workarounds.

In response to the community's feedback, Bethesda recently launched an Oblivion suggestions channel on their official Discord server, encouraging players to share their thoughts and suggestions for future updates.

Oblivion Remastered Player Paralyzed for 66 In-Game Years

In a lighter note, one player, Vaverka, shared a unique experience on Reddit on May 20. He inadvertently inflicted himself with a spell causing paralysis for 2,097,762,304 seconds—equivalent to 66 in-game years. Vaverka humorously compared this duration to Emperor Uriel Septim's reign over Tamriel. While the community expressed curiosity about replicating this spell, Vaverka has yet to reveal the recipe.

As players continue to explore Oblivion Remastered, discovering both its charms and its flaws, the community remains hopeful. The game, celebrating its 20th anniversary since its original release, still holds a special place in fans' hearts. They eagerly await Bethesda's action to address their concerns and enhance their beloved game. Hopefully, the much-needed patch will arrive before Vaverka's spell wears off.
