Original Discussion Oblivion (2006) not working on Windows 11 for you? It's because of update KB5124010, here's a work around

Go to https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases and download .83 installer exe. Open setup, only download LAV Audio for x86 (32 bit). Than go grab codec tweak tool https://www.codecguide.com/download_other.htm , and grab [ Version 6.7.7 | 1.4 MB | June 17th 2026 ] from server 1 or 2. Open up codec tweak tool after downloading and follow the images i provided. Oblivion should work now, and this also should work for Fallout New Vegas. The games are crashing because of a broken audio dll from that windows update (msmpeg2ac3dec.dll), LAV helps system work around this. You can just uninstall the update too but for some they got fixes from the update or they can't uninstall it. So if you don't want to go thru that, this is a fix for now. (Also in your windows you can open an app called "Feedback Hub", if you can go ahead and leave a feedback for MS. The more posts the quicker it will grab attention hopefully because it seems they're not even aware.)

UPDATE! (10/14/2026); KB5127648 windows 11 update, or most recent update for build seemed to fix the issue. You can stop using LAV filters now.

PSA: Stop Right There, Comment Bot Scum

301 Upvotes

Greetings, citizen. r/Oblivion comment sections have recently been infested by bot accounts. Let's work together to bring these lawbreakers' sprees to an end! Here are some red flags that you can identify bot comments by:

  • Says something generic, never unique. Often oddly off-topic (but people who post unrelated NPC dialogue, paradoxically, are usually not bots).
  • Usually posted as a reply to a top comment for greater visibility.
  • Sometimes contains odd spelling errors that a normal person wouldn't make.
  • Account is either very new, or quite old but recently started posting after a long break.

Once a comment bot has enough karma and comment history, the account will be sold and used for either OnlyFans, or for astroturfing. Stop these criminal scum right there by reporting them: Spam > Disruptive Use of AI.

Remember: We don't know comment bots, and we don't care to know them!

Her amulet was inside a dusty coffin. At least we beat back the marauders, no thanks to Pally’s antics.

So let me get this straight Kalthar. You stole an amulet, braved a dungeon and other monster and men, and risked everything. Just to get a promotion? Now you want to fight me and my pals? Do you even see the gear we have on!?

You should have joined the fighters guild you got this all backwards!

Oh well, to me my scampies!

Hail citizens. The battle to get here was less than thrilling. It involved constant running around and mace swinging. But I knew there wasn’t anything else to fear once we got the amulet. Even Pally and Dro’Nahrahe were like “everything’s done.” Even they can’t believe this guy wants to “fight” us. I almost died of embarrassment though. Was a close match.

Original Question Is Oblivion supposed to be this difficult?

29 Upvotes

I've been playing for about 7 hours now, and it takes me like 3 dozen sword slashes to kill a mage. Don't even get me started on those triceratops looking things. Why does it take so many hits to kill a single enemy. Is my gear wrong? I've just been using silver dagger and one-handed katana. I am playing on default difficulty. The game shouldn't be this difficult.

Came out of the great gate and looked to see how many soldiers were lost, besides one Bruma militia member I found both Baurus and Jauffre laying near a portal entrance.

Made this tribute in my house, with Baurus’s Akviri Katana and Jauffres blades helmet. Was genuinely a bit gutted to find them dead when I never realised they could die like this.

Remaster Mod Help BY THE NINE, SAVE ME!!

4 Upvotes

I’m on PlayStation playing the remastered. For whatever reason the Skull Of Corruption glitch doesnt work on PS5 without Shivering Isle Flesh spell and I can’t do that questline yet for LARP reasons lol.

So instead what I’ve now done is I’ve cloned myself and then killed the clone to loot Necromancer’s Amulet from myself.

However I am now stuck on how to proceed. If I turn in the Amulet to Traven won’t he take both? Should I turn in the Amulet then come back for my body- but does the clone keep the previous inventory I had at the time of being cloned?

Despite the awful optimization of the game and the devs giving up on it and never patching (and probably never will) and crashing over 20 times (I stopped counting after the 20th).....

THIS GAME IS STILL A MASTERPIECE. The original came out in 2006 and was way ahead of its time, and the remaster still holds true.

Great story, fun gameplay and an enjoyable experience. Oblivion is my favorite elder scrolls

10/10 Game, Now time to wait another 15 years for Elder Scrolls 6!

Remaster Discussion Tips for major/minor skills in remaster to prevent becoming OP too fast

4 Upvotes

I know they fixed the leveling but I’m primarily worried about making my main combat/magic skills major skills and leveling too quickly. I don’t want to become too op too fast, but also don’t want to fall behind and struggle to level those skills when i need to.

I am wondering if making my weapon skills minor will result in them leveling too slowly?

Would appreciate any tips!

We finally had a chance to get the drop on the baddies but Pally had other plans. He pulled a Leeroy Jenkins…

Hail citizens. I had a great opportunity to have Pally just fly in his style pulling a Leeroy Jenkins. The way he just slowly flies in haphazardly was perfect. He also went off the bridge. Now we have to fix this mess. Here we go…

Remaster Discussion OB:MP's new website and NexusMods + a look at what community is building for Oblivion Remastered

Thumbnail gallery
50 Upvotes

Hey r/oblivion - Msk here again from the team building OB:MP, a community multiplayer mod and platform for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered.

The revamped OB:MP website is live: https://obmp.readym.io/ 
It explains what OB:MP is, how to get started, and where to download the latest build. OB:MP is also on NexusMods now, so you can grab it there too: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/5733

Who said that the Construction Set is impossible to bring back for the remaster? Let me show you another early look at a map/asset editor tool we're working on. It's pre-alpha and rough right now, but we wanted to show where it's heading week by week.

What builders are doing with it is the part I enjoy even more to share. Yannök, a server owner and builder, is working on an Oblivion MMO project on OB:MP. Here's what he's shown so far:

  • An MMO-style chat with a semi-transparent chatbox and multiple channels.
  • A mail UI with a system where players can trade, send messages, items and gold. His auction house also uses it to deliver purchased items and gold from sales.
  • A quick skill bar inspired by TESO working with his gameplay mechanics.

If you want to play, grab the build from the site or Nexus. If you want to run or build a server, the Docs page is the best place to start: https://docs.ready.mp/oblivion-mp/docs/Server/installation

OB:MP needs the Steam version of Oblivion Remastered for now, and Linux support via Proton works, but it is experimental. Xbox Game Pass / Windows Store support is coming next weeks!

Original Discussion Anyone else get influenced by Oblivion as a kid?

Post image
700 Upvotes

Quite possibly the most cringe post I've ever made byt when oblivion released when I was 9, Me and my friends (who were only aware of the game through me and watching me play) would go around and level up our "skills", like athletics and acrobatics lol. I would even bring magic tricks for "illusion" training.

Probably my best memories of it was playing in large culverts and drainage tunnels under the road, which was so reminiscent of those sewers you escape from in oblivion. Pretending to fight rats, etc.

Im sure this isnt a unique phenomena but the game had such an incredible amount of whimsy and mystery, it bled into real life for me.

Its honestly amazing how big of an impression this game has on people, even today.

Remaster Discussion Finally starting my first play through of any TES games. Need some advice

4 Upvotes

I've played what seems like every major RPG except Elder Scrolls. Super excited to experience this for the first time.

Now I heard you can be a necromancer in this game and I haven't been able to play as one since Dark Alliance 2.

Is it possible to become a heavy weapon/armor knight that can also become a necromancer or do I have to basically stay in one build the entire time? If I can be both, what class should I start with? Breton is what I'm thinking rn

Video Modding original Oblivion with full DLSS and raytracing (early progress)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I am personally not a fan of the Remastered Oblivion's changed artstyle. The original textures look great, and I think they can only be improved further with better lighting.

The endgoal of this mod is to accomplish everything Remastered sets out to do. Farther draw distance, improved graphics (via raytracing and surface relief to textures), full detail models at all distances so things like the white gold tower won't have a low detail mesh from afar, etc. Also fixing a lot of original 2009 steam edition issues that caused hitches and random game crashes.

Currently it works by passing through the original 32bit game to a 64 bit Vulkan client, which is what allows implementation of DLSS and higher memory limits.
