Players Demand Remastered Patch for Oblivion

*The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered* has been out for over a month, yet fans are still waiting for an official patch from Bethesda. Despite the game's long-awaited return in a remastered format, many players have encountered bugs and performance issues that remain unresolved. Console users, in particular, are calling for urgent fixes as they face more severe technical problems.

Fans Are Looking for an Update

Since its release, *Oblivion Remastered* has received mixed reactions from the community. While many are thrilled to experience the classic RPG with enhanced visuals, others are frustrated by persistent bugs and lack of optimization. Reddit users have taken to forums to voice their concerns and highlight features they’d like to see in future updates.

Bethesda did roll out a hotfix just three days after launch, but it introduced new issues—most notably removing upscaling options. A later patch attempted to address this, though some players claim a manual workaround is still required to restore those settings. The infamous Kvatch bug also remains a pain point, trapping players in a soft-locked state unless they apply a user-discovered fix.

Despite the absence of official communication from Bethesda, fans remain hopeful for a proper update. Community suggestions include inventory subcategories, better controller shortcuts, and general quality-of-life improvements. Many believe these changes would significantly enhance the remastered experience.

Consoles Need It More

While all platforms have their share of issues, console players are experiencing more severe performance problems. Reports indicate that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions suffer from increasing lag and graphical glitches over extended play sessions. These appear to be linked to memory management issues—a critical flaw that needs addressing.

In response to growing player feedback, Bethesda recently opened a dedicated suggestions channel on their official Discord server. Fans are encouraged to submit ideas and report bugs, signaling at least some level of engagement from the developer side.

Oblivion Remastered Player Paralyzed for 66 In-Game Years

In a curious twist, a Reddit user named Vaverka shared a humorous story about accidentally casting a paralysis spell lasting 66 in-game years—equivalent to over two billion real-world seconds. Though clearly a self-inflicted experiment, the post sparked interest in how such a spell could even be crafted. As of now, Vaverka hasn't revealed the exact method, leaving the community to speculate.

With the game celebrating its 20th anniversary since the original release, many fans understand that *Oblivion* comes with its fair share of quirks. However, as a remastered version, expectations for improved stability are high. Players hope Bethesda will deliver much-needed patches soon—to fix bugs, optimize performance, and ensure the game runs smoothly across all platforms.

*The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered* is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (with Xbox Game Pass), and PC. For more updates and insights into the game’s development, stay tuned to our coverage [ttpp].
