The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered, just like every Bethesda entry has the potential to crash and freeze on PC. While gamers around the globe are waiting for The Elder Scrolls 6 with bated breath, this is Bethesda’s way of satiating that curiosity for a bit.
Although this is a remaster, Bethesda has given Oblivion a much needed overhaul just like Skyrim, bringing meaningful change to almost every element that it has to offer.
So, in case you’re trying to play The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered and you’re experiencing crashes or freezing on PC, here are some fixes that you can try.
Potential fixes for The Elder Scrolls Oblivion crashing and freezing on PC
First and foremost, if The Elder Scrolls Oblivion is crashing on PC for you, be sure to check that you’re meeting the system requirements for the game. In case you’re not meeting even the minimum requirements, then it’s bound to crash on your system.
Apart from that, the most basic fix that you can try is updating the graphics driver on your system. Outdated graphics drivers usually cause games to crash, so it’s always good to keep all your drivers updated.
In case none of the above solutions work, try verifying the integrity of your game files on the platform you’ve downloaded it on:
Steam
- Head to your library and click on The Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remastered.
- On the game page, click on the cogweel on the extreme right of your screen and then click on “Properties”
- Here, you should find the option to “verify the integrity of your game files.” In case any file is corrupted, this should automatically trigger the download and it should run as it should.
Xbox Marketplace / Gamepass
- Open the Xbox app on your PC.
- Go to “My Library” and right-click the game.
- Select “Manage”.
- Under the Files tab, click “Verify” or “Repair”.
In case none of the solutions above work, then it’s best to reinstall The Elder Scrolls 6. That should eliminate any errors and stop your game from freezing and crashing on your PC.
