Oblivion Remastered |OT| Kvatching up with an old hero

My lizard brain keeps pressing the B button to open the inventory / map screen.

It's gonna take me a while to get used to the new shortcuts.
 
the problem is that this combination does not suppor indoors and outdoors at the same time.
Everything is instanced in gamebryo.
I mean, Bethesda will keep the Creation engine regardless. They've already announced they are using it for ES VI

We will have loading times in ES VI one way or another
 
Bit stuck with ultrawide 32:9 as the resolution can't be changed, even when editing the gameusersetting file it won't register. I am stuck with 3840x1080p instead of 5120x1440p and it looks off. Also, when turning the camera there is a weird effect going on. Kinda looks like motion blur, but not intentional (I have motion blur turned off) Does seem good though outside of that, hearing the music and doing the sewer intro brings back some good memories.
 
Just booted it up and the game is fucked on multi-monitor setups. Won't let me select anything other than 1080p (which is one of my secondary monitors native resolutions) despite it displaying on the 4k OLED.

Well more than one saying it so guess it is just me. Like I said, I've noticed some stutters here and there, but for the most part it has been fine.

It stutters heavily in 60 FPS. The reading on my S95C is that the game is mostly within 48 - 60 FPS, but there is wierd random stutter in open environment. This is probably the worst 60 FPS game I played on Pro in terms of FPS variability. I am playing with SSR and motion blur on with default FOV settings.

Just found a possible solution on the Steam forums:

Found a solution, forcing the GameUserSettings.ini config files seem to have worked.

Simply, go to: C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\Saved\Config\Windows

Locate the file called "GameUserSettings.ini" and edit the following to this for a 2560x1440p image.

DesiredScreenWidth=2560
DesiredScreenHeight=1440
LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenWidth=2560
LastUserConfirmedDesiredScreenHeight=1440


Going to try it out in a bit and will report back.

This is basic stuff man, don't understand how they've managed to fuck something as simple as this up. Trying to take me back to 2006 in every way possible.

I've seen more people complain about this, but I'm playing on my 2nd display (a oled tv) and didn't have that issue. Game was set at 4K by default for me.

I always restart the computer when switching displays to avoid windows fucking up scaling. Maybe try doing that, might help.

EDIT: The Oblivion gate area in the open runs more like 30 FPS.

I will keep playing because I loved Oblivion so much, but the technical execution is not where it should be.

Is there any point going with Quality mode on the Pro aside from higher resolution? When I played it years ago it was 30 FPS and it is not like I could not stomach it anymore :D.

When you say "switching displays" do you mean disabling the other display entirely or switching which one windows sees as your primary display?

If I have to unplug displays then I'll just play it on my other machine which only as one extra display set up on it as a photo album viewer, that way I can just unplug that one without it disturbing anything that I need to use for work.

Yeah, I'm seeing the open environment stutter every now and then. It is strange.
 
I remember having this on the PS3 and got rid of it pretty sharpish because of all the bugs. Am I reading peoples posts correctly? After almost twenty years this remaster still has issues?
 
I'm happy that this game is back, but what frustrates me is they added again a woke agenda of twisted gender ideology by setting the games character creation with a default Type A and B instead of male and female. Common sense is back in our world, but why cant gaming have it too? Just saying.

Oh no, I don't touch the cables. With switching displays I mean just doing windows+P and setting it to display only on my TV, which as I said is my second display.
 
About 4 hours in now. Usual UE5 stutters aside (which aren't anywhere near as bad as other UE games tbh), this is magnificent and would have been GOTY contender for sure.. if KCDII didn't come out this year.
 
Funny how sometimes this looks "nextgenny" and sometimes it looks like shit that makes Avowed look like masterpiece.
And I am sorry but after KCD2's nature, I am just not vibing with his procedurally generated slop

I am simultaneously pleased that they preserved everything, including the interface, and assblasted because lockpicking is the same and there is no item category sorting.
 
I purchased the game from Fanatical™ at 17% off so that I can play on Steam™ using my Nvidia™ GPU and AMD™ processor.

That way I can take advantage of playing a single copy across multiple PC's™ and my Steam Deck™. It also grants me the option to also play via GeForce™ Now™ on the Cloud™.

All of the above work with shared cloud saves so progres carries over from PC™ to PC™ to Steam Deck™ and GeForce™ Now™ and other way around.

How do you like the Steam Deck? I feel like it would be great for indies but can't see myself using it for full blown games. Are game menu's hard to read / small?

Wow that lighting is really subpar yes, let alone the random ass placement and random asset drop.
 
Definitely needs a patch or 2 on PS5 Pro. Stutters and frame drops (it especially didn't like me looking into the sky and down)

But otherwise it's great to be back. Already had some weird NPC shenanigans.

This was in the oven for years

Anywho, consensus on version? Does PS5 Pro hold up well enough? I'm torn between playing on the couch and on the go (Deck)
 
I'm going to give this a long go. It looks fun.
Downloaded before work. When I get off, big glass of wine and some asada tacos with spicy 🌶️ rice. Day off tomorrow so why not binge this for 8 or so hours?
 
This is quite cool that they did this but apparently Fallout 3 is getting the same treatment and that's much more exciting. Was never a huge fan of Oblivion, although I didn't get very far. Can't wait for Fallout 3 though.
