Oblivion Remastered can be very VRAM heavy. It's going to struggle on a graphics card with only 8GB of VRAM like an RTX 4060. Have you tried turning the games graphics settings down?

You can't just fix these things by updating graphics drivers.

Hey Troy, thanks for posting for support here. Sorry you're experiencing these crashes with Oblivion Remastered. I'm here to help in any way that I can.

Thanks for sharing your specs. Your PC should definitely be able to run Oblivion Remastered, so a video memory error usually points to a driver or software conflict. Start by updating your Nvidia graphics drivers using the GeForce Experience app or by downloading the latest version from Nvidia’s website. Then, try repairing the game files through the Xbox app to fix any possible corruption. It also helps to run the game as administrator to avoid permission issues.

1. Open the Xbox app for Windows.

2. In My Library, select the game title.

3. Select the More options (…) button, and then select Manage > Files > Check for updates.

4. If updating doesn’t resolve your issue, select Verify and repair to repair your game. Then try to launch it again.

Another thing to try is temporarily closing background apps like Discord, browser tabs, or any overlays such as GeForce Experience or Steam, just to rule out anything that might be using up video memory or causing interference. If you're using mods, try disabling them and launch the game in its base state to see if it runs more smoothly.

If the issue persists after these steps, it’s a good idea to contact the game developer’s support team directly for further help.

Hope this gets resolved soon! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi, my name is Julian and I'm an Xbox gamer just like you. Let's try to solve your issue together.

Sorry you're running into crashes with Oblivion Remastered on PC Game Pass. That issue, crashing during loading screens, especially after opening doors, can happen due to mod conflicts or compatibility issues.

Please try these steps:

1) Verify and Repair Game Files. Use the Xbox app: right-click the game > Manage > Files > Verify and Repair. Learn more here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/...

2) Check Mod Conflicts, if you're using the "Oblivion Remastered" mod, try disabling all mods temporarily and see if the issue persists.

3) Run as Admin + Compatibility Mode. Navigate to the install folder > right-click Oblivion.exe > Properties > Compatibility tab > check Run as administrator and try Windows 7 mode.

4) Make sure both GPU drivers and Windows are fully up to date. Click here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/upd...

If that doesn’t help, reinstalling without mods might be necessary.

Please let me know if it worked or not and I would be happy to assist you further. Thank you!

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered was never on Game Pass Core. The game is only available on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
