I should have waited a year to buy the game cheaper and especially for it to be finished and optimized. Like all games now....

[Bushido]

I'm waiting for a patch to finally start playing. As soon as I leave the sewers the game crashes, fast travel crashes. Apparently an RTX 4090, a 14900 kf and a 4k screen are not enough.

[Chris J]

play at 1080p 60hz. 4090 not a 4K card

There are several mods you can do to optimize, and DXVK dll file swap can help with a bit of stuttering and smoothing out the UE5 software for certain systems.

You should go 1440p upscale to 4k, you aren't going to lose much graphically when performance is more important.

Also stop running the game at ultra settings, there's not too many difference from Ultra to High that I can detect. Or any at all since I turn off Lumen via config mods and such.

This pak file mod is the most effective of the bunch thus far.

Do you have plenty of fast ram and an nvme SSD that can do say 5gbps+ read/writes? I think thats the problem more than a good video card and cpu right now.

When did ES gamers expected a patch to fix their games without depending on modders?

[KarmaKrazi]

funny, i have a 14900k and a 4080 super, 32gb ram and I'm having zero issues running at 4k. you have 8gb more VRAM and you're having issues? suspicious....

When a 3rd party company apparently remade Oblivion for UE5, people jumped on the bandwagon easily.

Gaming on a 4k screen is a for people who love pain. and love to have to constantly buy the new bleeding edge graphics card every year to try and reduce that pain.

No idea why you have so many crashes though and I have had none, probably some combinations of the game with specific drivers and hardware.

Lets me more precise.

Microsoft hired a third party developer to take Oblivion, keep all the back end running in Gamebryo, but build a bridge to allow UE5.3 to do the rendering so it could use all the modern high-end render features, they where further briefed to create modern high poly, high resolution textured versions of the old assets for UE5.3.

The third party did the job they were hired to do well. But ultimately running across an old and new engine like this is always going to be sub-optimal performance wise, and Microsoft would have given them a strictly limited budget and fairly focused brief.

4k is a scam, cards can't handle that resolution with modern graphical effects, stuff like ray/path tracing require way too much resources to render at that resolution. There are excellent videos explaining why modern graphical effects are so resource heavy, it's to hide the fact that the game actually looks like garbage, they just smudge it and fake-sharpen with effects that tax the card needlessly.

[Derrick Peanut]

runs fine on my 4080, i5 13600k, 3440x1440 with frame gen. get at least a solid 120fps outdoors, 165 indoors at 2k.

[☠ Apraxif ☠]

Believe it or not I had a similar issue. I turned off my Nvidia Overlay & Steam Overlay. Not a single crash yet. It's weird honestly.

[DukeoftheAges]

5800x and a 6800xt playing at 1440p, only one crash so far, almost 20 hours.

[Atari_VR]

It could have been worse. My game was pretty stable for a Bethesda game for 15 hours, then it suddenly turned into a crash fest during combat, fasttravel and dungeons. 5080 5800x3d 32Gb ram.

You have an new Intel CPU, I was crashing too but have had crashes in certain games for about a year now. I was crashing exiting the sewers. I did not realize bios updates had to be done manually. Have you updated your bios to at least version 1802 with the microcode update that fixes these CPU's? Mine is running like new now without crashes. Luckily mine is not damaged and temps are fine. Just letting you know in case your bios isn't up to date. If it is not you must update it and that will probably fix your crash.

True that while lots of cards support hardware ray tracing now, none of them can do it at good frame rates and 4K resolution in real games, which is why they use frame generation and up scaling to try and make it seem that they can, at that resolution artefacts from those techniques are ironically also more visible than they would be at lower resolutions.

Honestly 4K gaming is just bringing yourself a lot of unnecessary pain and expense at the moment, I'm more than happy to stick with 1080p.

Maybe one day hardware will catch-up but at the moment NVIDIA's focus is on making sure AI models run well on their cards rather than that they are great for gaming, (because there is much more money in that and they all ready dominate the market when it comes to PC gaming anyway). The fact they primarily sell cards to big corporations for data farms and demand out strips supply is also why the margins on their cards have ballooned and with them prices for the high end cards.
