PC GAMEPASS Oblivion Remaster crash on launch

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing crashing issues with Oblivion Remastered on PC.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please verify game file integrity because a corrupt game files can cause crashes. To do this, open the Xbox App. Locate Oblivion Remastered, click the Menu button (three dots), and select Manage > Files > Verify and Repair.

And then reduce the graphics settings in Oblivion Remastered such as lowering anti-aliasing, shadows, or texture quality. Run the game in Windowed Mode or reduce the resolution temporarily.

Next is to temporarily disable overlays such as NVIDIA GeForce Experience, Xbox Game Bar, or Discord that can interfere with gameplay.

Then test without mods. If you’re running mods in Oblivion Remastered, one or more mods could be unstable. Temporarily disable or remove all mods to see if the crashes stop.

After that is to update Windows and gaming services by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and install all updates.

And to update Gaming Services through the Microsoft Store. Open the Store, search for Gaming Services, and update/reinstall.

If the issue persist after performing the troubleshooting steps, kindly uninstall Oblivion Remastered via the Xbox App. Restart your PC and reinstall the game.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I have almost the exact same specs! Please let me know if you find a solution!!!

It didn't help me for this game, but I know you need to update your BIOS if you have not done so recently. That will help keep your processor stable! There's a microcode bug in our processors.

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.
