"Oblivion Remastered's Top Mod Boosts PC Performance"

If you're a dedicated fan of *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered* on PC, you've likely encountered some performance hiccups. According to the tech gurus at Digital Foundry, the remastered version suffers from what they describe as "dire" performance issues. Alex Battaglia, a video producer at Digital Foundry, went as far as to say it's "perhaps one of the worst-running games I've ever tested for Digital Foundry."

"Even if you're running the most powerful hardware available, the stuttering is egregious, severely impacting the gameplay to the extent that I'm baffled it was deemed suitable for release," Battaglia remarked. He further noted that the game is unusually resource-intensive, forcing players to lower settings just to maintain a decent frame rate, despite the persistent stuttering.

The mod's description promises comprehensive improvements: "Definitive Unreal ‘Engine.ini’ changes with the goal to remove most stutters, improve performance and stability, decrease input latency, improve picture clarity. All with no visual loss."

P40L0 elaborated, "After months of testing with UE5, I wanted to share my definitive custom ‘Engine.ini’ changes for the game. My aim was to incorporate as many optimizations as possible for CPU, GPU, RAM, and SSD to eliminate most stuttering, enhance performance, reduce input latency, and improve picture clarity (for example, by removing Film Grain & Chromatic Aberration, optimizing DLSS/FSR upscaling, and more) without any visual loss or introducing glitches or crashes."

The community's response to the mod has been overwhelmingly positive. Users like chubbyd07 exclaimed, "Stutter be gone! Simply amazing, thanks!" yeeto51 added, "This .ini is a miracle. From 15-20 fps outside the prison to 65-70 stable. Running on 3600XT and a 2060 with 20GB of RAM (yes)." BabaSmith marveled, "Uhm, what the hell! I went from 60fps on High Preset around Waynon Priory to 90-110fps on the same location. Wizardry!!"

Despite its performance issues, *Oblivion Remastered* remains incredibly popular, boasting a high concurrent player count on Steam and over 4 million players across all platforms. On Steam, it holds a 'very positive' user review rating.

However, a recent hotfix deployed on April 25 has caused issues for Microsoft Store players, specifically affecting the UI settings for graphics related to upscaling and anti-aliasing. Currently, Game Pass for PC users cannot adjust these settings due to the problem. Bethesda has acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix.
