Bethesda has pushed out a major patch for The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered through Steam's beta program. Players can grab the update by switching to the beta tab in their Steam library. The patch brings performance fixes that tackle the game's notorious stuttering problems that plagued players since launch. Frame rate drops in locations like Deepscorn Hollow and Black Rock Caverns have been eliminated. The developers also squashed hitches that made open world exploration a nightmare.
The update delivers serious improvements to water rendering and weather systems that were causing major headaches. Character animation gets a boost while waterfall effects run smoother than ever before. Shadow flickering issues with XeSS upscaling have been wiped out completely. Fast travel bugs that made water vanish have been patched up. Settings between PC and Xbox versions finally sync properly without glitches.
Bethesda Game Studios added fresh difficulty settings that give players more control over combat damage. The new options include Novice, Apprentice, Adept, Journeyman, Expert, and Master levels. Developers believe the Journeyman setting will help bridge the gap between Adept and Expert difficulties. Steam users can still snag the game at 20 percent off during the Summer Sale. The discount expires in less than ten hours for anyone considering a purchase.
