A efficiency patch is way wanted. Oblivion Remastered has loved a vastly profitable launch, with over 4 million gamers and a ‘very constructive’ consumer assessment ranking on Steam. Nonetheless, if there’s one challenge that continues to crop up, it’s efficiency issues.
The tech specialists at Digital Foundry discovered Oblivion Remastered on consoles to have important issues throughout the board. DF’s Thomas Morgan mentioned of Virtuos’ Unreal Engine 5 overhaul:
No platform is spared of points: whether or not it is PS5, PS5 Professional, or both Xbox Collection machine, all wrestle with traversal hitches whereas roaming the open world. Secondly, there’s main sub-60fps frame-rates, the place I’ve additionally found that efficiency slowly degrades with extra taking part in time — fairly presumably down to a reminiscence leak. And eventually, software program freezes are the icing on the cake, with all PlayStation and Xbox platforms crashing to the system menu on loading a save one too many instances.
How does this present itself in-game? In accordance to DF, a “charged” playthrough with extra steady play time behind it performs worse than a recent boot. Biking by saves additionally introduces bugs within the charged play by, Morgan revealed. And that is significantly curious: this additionally leads to the digicam place being too excessive whereas using horseback. You’ll be able to repair this by resetting the sport.
“It is a dire place for any remaster to be in and developer Virtuos wants to handle the sport’s stability – the crashes – as a precedence,” Morgan continued.
That’s a damning evaluation of Oblivion on console, but what about PC? DF referred to as PC efficiency “dire.” It’s price testing (*2*) for extra.
