Unlock Smooth Oblivion Remastered Gameplay on Steam Deck with These Secret Low Settings!

The Steam Deck offers a convenient method to enjoy your Steam games away from your computer, however, it does come with certain restrictions. Not all games are compatible with the Steam Deck, particularly older ones. Newer games may struggle to run smoothly on this device as well. Regrettably, the Steam Deck experiences difficulties running Oblivion Remastered, but it can still be played if you can adjust the in-game settings properly.

Although you may not achieve a smooth 60 FPS gaming experience on High settings, you should still manage to secure a satisfactory frame rate and graphics that surpass, to some extent, the original appearance of Oblivion.

Best Settings on Steam Deck for Oblivion Remastered

From the very beginning, it’s crucial that you configure all settings to minimum. With these settings in place, you can expect to run the remastered version of “Oblivion” smoothly between 30 and 50 frames per second (FPS).

  • Window mode: Borderless
  • V-Sync: Matching Refresh rate
  • Frame Rate Limit: 60
  • FOV 1st-Person: 75
  • FOV 3rd-Person: 75
  • Motion Blur: Off
  • Screen Space Reflections: Off
  • Quality Level: Low
  • View Distance: Low
  • Effects: Low
  • Foliage: Low
  • Shadows: Low
  • Global Illumination: Low
  • Textures: Low
  • Reflection: Low
  • Post-Processing: Low
  • Hair Quality: Low
  • Cloth Quality: Low
  • Lumen Hardware RT: Off
  • Lumen Software RT: Low
  • Upscaling Technique: FSR
  • FSR 3 – Mode: Balanced
  • FSR 3 – Sharpness: 0
  • FSR 3 – Frame Generation: Off

In these settings, you can expect frame rates ranging from approximately 37 to 52 per second when navigating interior areas. Frame rates may be lower in urban environments and settlements, but they should still be satisfactory in dungeons and caves. Interactions such as speaking with an NPC or transitioning into a new area might temporarily reduce the frame rate to around 30-50 for a few seconds before returning to its normal range.

For outdoor areas, unfortunately, the highest frame rate you can achieve is approximately 35 frames per second (FPS). During your adventures, the frame rate may occasionally dip when you come close to a dense cluster of trees, but this decrease is temporary and you’ll return to around 30 FPS shortly.

For a smoother gameplay experience with consistent frames per second, consider capping your frame rate at 30. This should maintain a steady pace throughout your gaming session, no matter what stage you’re in.

I regret to inform you that the current settings may not allow you to experience the full visual enhancement that Oblivion Remastered underwent. It might not appear as stunning as it does on a PC or even consoles, but it provides a convenient way to enjoy Oblivion Remastered when you’re away from your computer. Occasionally, you may encounter texture pop-ups and some unusual graphical glitches during loading into the open world, but the game should still be playable.

On medium settings, the Steam Deck may experience frequent drops in frame rate, sometimes as low as 10 frames per second or less. Additionally, the game is likely to pause occasionally when running at higher graphical settings.
