How to Fix Oblivion Remastered Crashing Issue on PC

Fix Oblivion Remastered GPU Crash Dump Fatal Error

GPU Crash Dump triggered is a common issue with games running on Unreal Engine 5, and Oblivion Remastered is no exception. It usually occurs when the game has a memory leak and consumes more GPU VRAM than needed. However, this crash can also occur due to problems at the player's end. So, here are some of the suggested fixes that players can use to potentially fix the issue.

Basic Troubleshooting

Before we jump into more niche fixes, you should try the following basic fixes and see if the Oblivion Remastered crashing issue has been resolved.

Update GPU Drivers: If you haven't updated your GPU drivers for a while, it's recommended that you do so. Both Nvidia and AMD release the latest drivers, keeping the latest games in mind, and release drivers that offer helpful optimization and bug fixes.
Verify Game Files: There are a few instances where a certain game file can get corrupted, leading to Oblivion Remastered crashing at startup. To resolve this, simply verify its game files through Steam or the Xbox app.
Run Oblivion Remastered as Admin: Head into your Oblivion Remastered install directory and find the main EXE file. Now, head into its properties and check the option to run the app as an administrator under the compatibility tab. Admin mode will bypass any issues and can help minimize crashes.

Diable Steam & Third-Party Overlays

Overlays are useful to players who like to have additional third-party app functionality within their games. However, these overlays can clash with the game's operating, leading to a crash.

Players should try disabling these in-game overlays, starting with Steam, MSI Afterburner, and Discord, to verify if they've fixed or reduces the occurrence of crashes.

Tweak Graphics Settings

Having your in-game graphics settings cranked all the way up can also cause some instability issues with the game, leading to GPU Crash Dump and a Fatal Error. Even if you're getting playable FPS on your current settings, it's recommended to optimize your graphics settings in Oblivion Remastered, by reducing the presets on the following options.

Texture Quality
Shadow Quality
View Distance Quality
Lumen Hardware RT

This will not only boost your FPS but also make the game stable until the next patch drops that improves its overall stability.

Disable AMD Anti-Lag or Nvidia Reflex

Nvidia and AMD GPUs have features like Low Latency Mode (Reflex) or Anti-Lag 2 that reduce the input latency in games. Although these features should be enabled in games to reduce input-latency that's (especially) introduced with features like Frame Generation, they can cause instability and lead to crashes.
