As I wrote in my PC Performance Analysis, the biggest problem with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is the stuttering while moving around the world. Just like the original game, it can freeze or pause for a moment while you’re exploring. Luckily, there’s a mod that can really help reduce these stutters. And no, it’s not a placebo effect. It really does work.
The mod in question is called Ultimate Engine Tweaks. This is basically a heavily edited “Engine.ini” file. Its main focus is to reduce most of the traversal stutters, improve performance and stability, and decrease input latency.
To show that the mod really works, BlackHoleGaming made a comparison video of Oblivion Remastered with and without the mod. The video clearly shows that the stutters are MUCH less with the Ultimate Engine Tweaks Mod. The mod doesn’t completely fix the stuttering, so the game still won’t be perfect. But, it runs a lot smoother than the original version without the mod.
As I said, this isn’t a placebo effect. The game will run better. And that’s precisely why I recommend trying it. You can download it from this link.
Last week, we shared a Reshade that attempted to bring back to the game the colors of the original version. To be honest, I’m not a big fan of such Reshade presets. I’d personally love to see a “native” mod that can do the same thing. Still, if you are bothered by the colorgrading, you can at least give it a go.
We also shared some other cool mods for Oblivion Remastered. For instance, you can download mods that can revert the Male/Female setting change. We also have a mod that can improve the graphics of the game. Plus, you can download a mod that enables every creature and NPC to catch on fire from open flames.
It’s also worth noting that Bethesda has updated the Game Pass version. This new update brings back the PC upscaling options. Thus, you won’t have to mess around with Engine.ini file to enable DLSS or XeSS. Instead, you can, once again, enable them from within the game. So, better late than never, I guess. Let’s now hope that the devs will add official support for AMD FSR on both the Game Pass and Steam versions.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
