Instant crash on startup

[Vertigo101]

Game is not working.
I downloaded the game within 10 minutes due to my blazing fast 3Gbps Internet speed.

Game will not work :(

Nice.
I always appreciate it when a remaster stays true to the original release.

im having the same issues and checking my control panel and task manager constantly. Has anyone found a fix?

if any of you have a 13th or 14th gen intel cpu, make sure your bios is updated

Sounds like a DLSS issue, I've tried a few generic fixes but nothing has worked so far. In the wise words of Todd Howard "It just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ works".

SOLUTION (i am not the author just posting to help):

Okay so the crash is caused by one of nvidia's .dll files that ship with the game.
Go to: Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\nvidia\DLSS\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64

and delete or rename the file sl.pcl.dll

The game will start up normally then.

I've tried this fix both renaming and deleting with no luck - it might work for others though!

[Jatiic]

after deleting the file still nothing

Run game as admin (this worked for me)

it worked for me thank you!! i just removed and pasted the file somewhere else (desktop)

Same issue here, I deleted the dll and was able to play for a bit, then it crashed again and now every time I startup. Can't even get in

[Jakesonpoint13]

okay per another thread - delete all the "sl." files inside SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\nvidia\DLSS\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64

I'm currently in game so I can confirm this works at least for some users!
