Bethesda has released a new update for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2, aiming to rectify visual degradation issues that emerged following a September patch. The studio confirmed on October 13 that the update addresses a "global visual degradation issue discovered in the previous update."
Following the September update, players began reporting significant visual problems with the game, including ghosting and a general blurriness that made the RPG look worse than before. Some players opted to avoid updating their game to preserve its original visual quality. However, reports from players who have downloaded the latest patch indicate that the visual issues have been resolved, with the game appearing closer to its pre-patch state. Some even suggest a potential improvement in performance.
This recent patch continues a pattern of Bethesda releasing updates to fix issues introduced by prior patches in its games. The extent of the visual problems and the size of the new patch have led to speculation about the nature of the original fixes and the subsequent regressions.
