Bethesda released Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on April 22, 2025, on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. The title was well received by fans and critics alike and had a near-perfect launch. However, only two days after the launch, gamers have noticed some cracks in the wall, including some major performance issues and crashes. Recent reports have said that many gamers have stumbled into the Oblivion Remastered Fatal Error Issue, which has made it impossible to play the RPG, and has brought their playthrough to a halt.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is, of course, the enhanced version of an almost 20-year-old RPG. The title surprised everyone with its sudden announcement and various enhancements. The graphical upgrades are, of course, the most notable. However, the complete overhaul of the combat system, the addition of sprint and character origins, and the new UI, leveling system, and skills have not escaped anyone’s attention either.

Now, the game might sound perfect in theory, but some major issues have still emerged. After the title came out on April 22, 2025, many players around the globe have voiced their complaints regarding an Oblivion Remastered Fatal Error Issue. Reports suggest that the remastered RPG keeps crashing on many devices, resulting in players being unable to launch the game, or in some rare cases, gaining access to their previous save files.

At first, many speculated that this issue was exclusive to AMD users. However, this theory quickly lost credibility when some NVIDIA users reported experiencing the same. Still, various other speculations remain alive. Some suggest that the core of the error lies in the Game Pass version of the title, while others claim it to be an Unreal Engine Issue.

Despite the many theories and rumours, there is still no confirmation about the Oblivion Remastered Fatal Error Issue’s true origin.

Unfortunately, Bethesda has not yet come out with a solid fix for this error. However, we have collected some potential fixes that might work for you.

First of all, we recommend that any player facing the Fatal Error check the minimum requirements for the game and make sure that their devices are suitable. Also, remember to install the game on an SSD (Solid State Drive) instead of an HDD, as the developers themselves recommend it.

Try to close other applications running in the background and lower the graphics settings of the game. Then, update your drivers if they are not already up to date. Other than that, you can always try repairing the game files and adding the title to your anti-virus exclusions. Lastly, for additional information, you can visit Bethesda’s official site.
