The first sizable update for Oblivion Remastered is out now for all players, bringing a variety of bug fixes and crash patches that improve PC stability. At 15GB, Patch 1.1 tackles issues like crashes on loading quicksaves, animation glitches, and camera problems, making the game a bit smoother.
Some of the most notable fixes include resolving crashes when creating multiple potions with stolen ingredients and pressing Alt+Tab. Player animation problems when mounting horses have also been addressed, along with a fix for the first-person camera sometimes being positioned above the player’s head. Map markers now behave better on secondary monitors, and infinite loading screens should be less common.
Are you curious about whether this patch changes performance? The changelog suggests no improvements to CPU performance, so those hoping for a speed boost might be a bit disappointed. However, the stability improvements are a welcome relief for many.
Interestingly, this update should be compatible with mods that have already appeared, such as restoring original male/female settings or enhancing graphics. If you want to tweak your experience, some mods bring back the game’s original colors, extend light radius, or add distinct animations for female characters. There’s even a mod that lets every creature and NPC catch fire from open flames—a fun twist.
For those interested in camera options, a mod that introduces an actual first-person camera reminiscent of Trespasser has been released, although it’s not essential if you’re content with the default view. And for players who want to overhaul combat, the Ultra Combat UE4SS mod adds mechanics like Perfect Dodge and slow-motion headshots, which sounds pretty neat.
If you’re into visuals, the first 4K Texture Pack enhances armors, weapons, clothing, and jewelry using AI tools while preserving the original art style. There’s also a mod that improves animal behavior, plus the creator of the famous HD Reworked mods for The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 has released their first mods for Oblivion Remastered.
For fans of lighting effects, a mod adding over 500 hand-placed light sources to the Imperial City is available and definitely worth a look. It’s always nice to see the world light up a bit more, isn’t it?
