DLSS not working in Oblivion Remastered, here’s what you need to know

Today, an update for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has been causing issues for players who use DLSS upscaling on the Microsoft Store. Strangely, this update appears to have been rolled out everywhere except Steam and it’s primarily affecting Game Pass users. Players have swiftly taken to social media to vent their frustrations, posting screenshots of their in-game graphics settings to demonstrate that their upscaling options are malfunctioning. The timing of these issues is particularly unfortunate as this weekend marks the first time the game has been available since its sudden release on Tuesday. Many players had likely planned to spend their weekend engrossed in Oblivion, but may now find themselves unable to enjoy the experience they anticipated.

Oblivion update seems to have removed DLSS for Game Pass users, and fans are not happy

In today’s update, there were some issues with the backend adjustments that didn’t affect gameplay directly but impacted the UI settings for graphical options, particularly upscaling and anti-aliasing, for players on the Microsoft Store. Bethesda’s Community Manager has acknowledged this problem and stated that their team is currently investigating it and working towards a solution. They plan to provide more information as soon as they can. Unfortunately, one Reddit user has already expressed dissatisfaction with the situation by giving the comment a less-than-favorable award.

It appears that the update hasn’t shown up yet on Steam, which might be intentional following Bethesda’s knowledge of this problem, or simply due to chance. While we wait for it, a solution suggested in the Oblivion community discussions on Steam could potentially resolve your issues. It’s worth giving it a try.

This week, the remastered version of “Oblivion” skyrocketed to the number one spot on Steam’s charts following its surprise release. Whispers and speculation had suggested that this new iteration of the beloved RPG would arrive unexpectedly this week, but the anticipation didn’t lessen. As critics are yet to publish reviews, “Oblivion” has been met with widespread approval so far. Earlier today, Bethesda announced on social media that the remaster has already amassed four million players, creatively incorporating the Roman numeral from the game’s title in an image to convey the news.

It’s likely that the scaling problem in Oblivion won’t affect most of its 4 million users significantly, and even among the Game Pass audience, it may not deter a large number of new or casual players just joining the service.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got to say, let’s hope for the best in this ongoing scenario. Bethesda seems to be handling it well, so fingers crossed, it wasn’t part of their plan. In the meantime, we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more updates. If you’re looking for something fresh to dive into this weekend, why not give Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 a spin? It’s a brand new RPG on Game Pass and it’s garnering some fantastic reviews. Enjoy the gaming journey!
