Players face major stuttering problems with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered despite powerful gaming setups. Inside caves or buildings, the game runs smoothly at high frame rates. Step outside into the open world, and those numbers drop sharply as the game struggles to maintain consistent performance.
A reviewer tested with an RTX 4080 graphics card and a modern processor but still experienced frequent hiccups. Even the newest hardware available today cannot completely fix these issues. Digital Foundry reports that these problems mirror those from the original game released years ago.
Limiting frame rates offers little help. Less powerful processors make everything much worse. Players can slightly reduce stuttering by turning off advanced lighting effects, but this hurts the visual quality substantially. Water reflections, shadows, and overall lighting appear much less impressive without these features.
Virtuos, the company behind the remaster, needs to release patches to address these technical flaws. The game received praise for its visual upgrades and gameplay improvements, but performance remains a serious concern for everyone who bought it.
