Players are getting anxious about a new patch for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, as many fans in the community are hoping for some crucial bug fixes and changes. Despite some of the remaster's current issues, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is one of the most well-received games of the year with a "Very Positive" rating on Steam and millions of players across all platforms.
Released on April 22, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered was developed by Virtuos as a faithful project that still delivers the quality of life improvements and graphical upgrades that fans have come to expect in remasters. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered retains the same main story and voice-overs that fans were fond of in the original 2006 RPG, but the game has been vastly upgraded and updated in Unreal Engine 5. However, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is very demanding on modern PCs due to Unreal Engine 5's GPU-intensive features, and the remaster has bugs and issues, including some that were directly carried over from the original game.

Reddit user DesertTokala opened a discussion post in the subreddit for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, noting that they and other fans of the remaster are still waiting for Bethesda and Virtuos to release a patch. Players in the community want bug fixes for performance issues in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, along with quality of life changes, such as a "key ring" to store collected keys inside. Some players want bug fixes to glitched visual effects for spells and weapons, which can linger after magic effects on the player have lifted, and others are having trouble with the remaster's user interface due to strange issues with the enchanting process. The anxiety in the community comes from the lack of official news from Bethesda and Virtuos regarding a new patch for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered for nearly three weeks now.
Oblivion Remastered Players are Getting Anxious for a Patch with Bug Fixes for Performance Issues and Quality of Life Changes
Although The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is a fairly polished game for many fans, the lack of direct communication with the community regarding patches has created some uncertainty and anxiousness. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S gamers are also looking for some communication, since The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is experiencing a major issue on consoles, which is speculated to be a problem with memory management while the game is running.
It's worth noting Bethesda released a hotfix for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered on April 25, just three days after the game's launch. The update unintentionally brought some issues of its own, including the removal of upscaling options on PC. Fortunately, the developers were already aware of some of the issues and began to work on bug fixes. In addition, Bethesda opened a channel on its official Discord server, asking players for improvements they want to see in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered.
