Some users on PC have an issue where the Oblivion Remaster shader compilation is not completing.

The game may crash during shader compilation and if you relaunch the game, you can play, but stutters and FPS issues will be worse than if you had successfully compiled shaders. Shader compilation cannot be automatically re-ran so you need to force your PC to restart the compilation.

Here are the steps I took to "fix" this issue:

1. Roll back your Nvidia GPU drivers to 572.83

If you have an AMD GPU, I believe AMD released an updated driver for Oblivion Remastered that should mean no driver rollback is needed.

2. Delete your shader cache via the Disk cleanup windows program

3. Cut/paste this file OUT of this folder path:

steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\nvidia\DLSS\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64\sl.pcl.dll

I personally dropped it into a desktop folder so I have it saved somewhere. Just make sure this file is NOT in that folder path anymore.

4. Delete Oblivion.ini from this location:

\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\OblivionRemastered\Content\Dev\ObvData\Oblivion.ini

5. Open Oblivion Remastered and shader compilation should now begin.

If all went well the shader compilation should complete (may take a long time) and you should notice *some* improvements to stuttering as shader are now fully compiled.

Make sure you re select your graphics settings as they will have reverted to default. See below for my personal settings and performance notes. 👇

Next part is how I personally went from ~40fps outdoors to a solid 60fps average with occasional dips to 50fps at the lowest.

Caveat I have a high end PC, play on a 4k TV and don't play above 60fps. Your Milage may vary as everyone has their own hardware setup and graphical preferences.

---

1. Make sure your game is installed on SSD. Game just runs alot better on SSD and even warns you to make sure its installed on one.

2. FPS lock/VSync. If you need Vsync to play games like I do. Turn OFF the in-game VSYNC and force VSYNC ON in Nvidia control panel. IDK how AMD gpus work but id imagine you'd use AMDs version of control panel to do the same.

Set the FPS limit to 60fps (or whatever your preference) in the in-game settings. This can also be done instead in the Nvidia control panel so if you set the limit there, be sure to NOT have a limit set in-game settings.

3. DLSS of some kind is a must for most games these days. Especially if playing with Ray Tracing (as you can note below)

Set DLSS to either performance (looks worse, runs better), Quality (looks better, runs a bit worse), or DLAA (looks alot better but most performance hit out of all DLSS settins).

Use FSR if you are on an AMD GPU.

4. DLSS Frame Generation. This literally will give you like 10+ FPS. BUUUTT it gives you CRAZY input lag. Make sure if you use this you also set NVIDIA Reflex to Enabled+Boost. For me this game me the free 10+fps while eliminating the input lag almost entirely.

Note: If you use Frame Generation you will notice the menus in-game have a weird flutter/lag. Beyond this tho the issues are minimal.

If you use AMD GPUs make sure to use the FSR/FSR Frame Generation/XeSS options as these are AMDs versions of the NVIDIA options i discussed above

I know alot of ppl play on different hardware in general so to summarize the graphics settings:

Turn off VYSNC in game and force it via your GPU control panel. Use frame generation and DLSS/FSR as specified above. If your settings don't give you the performance you want, roll them back bit by bit.

ALSO: This may be relevant but as a precaution, make any major graphics settings changes *FROM THE MAIN MENU* After you make the changes, exit and restart the game. Sometimes the changes don't work if you make them while you have a save loaded + don't restart the game.

Hope this all helps at least somebody out there. Send asks or DM if you need any clarification, and remember, Milage may vary so experiment with your settings as needed.

Stop showing me ads for Nvidia, Tumblr! I am a Linux user, therefore AMD owns my soul!

Here's the cast! Individual introductions coming soon :)

(Edit: today i learned people don't tend to use "batterist" much in english. Artemis' the drummer! Damn)

New sleeper / main rig swap incoming over the next few weeks.

This is my dad's Dell 3020.

He passed away last year (2024).

He always pushed me to explore, tinker, and repair. He loved that I had a borderline insane fascination with PC cooling and my drive to optimize temps.

He would want me to tinker and build something cool with this.

I've already done a few things to the chassis before I thought to start logging the project. I'll try to document the changes made already.

All of my Unreal Engine 5 Games keep crashing

I will just copy and paste my message here, as I was ignored when I originally posted this in the Outlast discord.

This isn't really a "game question" since it has little to do with Trials itself, nor is it something that I think RB devs could fix, but I have a bit of an issue. Are there any other Windows 11 users with an AMD graphics card that are having any issues running UE5 games as of recently?

It feels like ever since an update for W11 came out a few days ago, UE5 games immediately crash after attempting to load any graphics whatsoever, or just crash my system entirely.. Any other game that runs on any other engine works just fine

I've restarted my PC multiple times, verified files, and so on. I assume the best thing I can do is roll back the update, but I don't really like to do that because I like keeping my systems updated for safety. I'm trying to look for a solution that does not require me to roll back an update.

For a little more context, I own an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT. If there is anyone a little more knowledgeable on this issue, please let me know. I'd really appreciate it.

New AMD CPU Flaws Could Leak Kernel Data via Sneaky Cache Tricks

A newly uncovered class of speculative attacks, called Transient Scheduler Attacks (TSA), could let attackers exfiltrate sensitive kernel or VM data from AMD CPUs—even with only low-level access. The vulnerabilities target speculative load completions in the L1 cache and store queue.

Jews around the world have just heard how Queen Esther saved the Jewish people from annihilation over 2,000 years ago. This week, the positive Israeli news is full of the achievements of Israeli women.   They include the discoverer of a treatment for a common eye disease.  Three women who developed a test for newborns at risk of disabilities.  The Oct 7 survivor who is back on her feet thanks to Israeli technology.  Technion’s first female dean of aerospace engineering. The winner of the “Nobel Prize” for Electrical Engineering. And the founder of an NGO that has brought water & electricity to 1,100 African villages.   Read also about an Israeli startup that uses AI to increase fertility, and how the Technion is encouraging young mothers to join the ranks of future entrepreneurs.   The photo (TY Sharon) is of Jerusalem’s Bible Lands Museum – one of the venues for the Jerusalem Biennale which is featuring the works of Jewish and Israeli women artists.

SteamOS now runs on AMD chipsets

Valve have released SteamOS version 3.7 alongside its official ports they made for the ROG Ally and Legion Go handhelds.

I have installed SteamOS on my Ryzen 7 5000 series laptop. It was pretty smooth.

Bioshock remastered max graphics, no frame dips Battery dies pretty fast while playing, probably needs better drivers. Trackpad doesn't always pick up my mouse moving But wifi and Bluetooth are working perfectly

FF7 rebirth is so far the only game where I had to change Proton version Kept spitting out an error that my GPU didn't support dx12, which it does.

After some research I found that despite 7rb being Steam Deck certified that a lot of users have been getting that error ever since the game came out, so at least its not just me.

Was able to install Emudeck as well. Need to do some more testing with games but we're getting closer to having a viable Windows alternative for gaming finally!

My PC build is finally together, cables are managed and it's running!

Went with a green and brown color scheme to do something different from just black case and RGB fans.

Now I just have to wait until I can upgrade the GPU with the prices and supply of these cards.

Specs:

CPU:Ryzen 7900x

RAM: 64GB Corsair DDR5 5200MHz

Motherboard:Gigabyte 850

GPU:EVGA 3070

11TB of storage on various drives
