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

300 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!

Found it humorous that he or (whoever made the sign) realized that Merchandise wasn't spelled correctly, so they just added a h in the middle of the sign and called it a day.

I love little things like this. It adds minor stories to the characters and makes the world feel more alive.

Self-Promotion I made a free mod that adds local split-screen co-op to the original Oblivion: two controllers, one PC

772 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I've been building a local split-screen co-op mod for the original Oblivion (2006 GOTY on Steam, not Remastered).

Player 2 picks up the second controller, presses Start and joins with their own character: race, class, birthsign, inventory, levels, all saved with your game. Then you play the same world together: fight with your own crosshairs, revive each other when someone goes down, ride two on one horse, and open your own menus while the world keeps going.

It's still a beta (0.9.2 just went up with fixes from the first player reports), so expect a few rough edges. Bug reports are very welcome!

Links and requirements in the comments.-

Been thinking about my gal, Amihan, during work so I had to draw her!!! I love the idea of Bosmer donning horns/antlers and I thought it would be fitting to draw her sporting some. Maybe I should also draw her with sharp teeth for lore accuracy hehe #ChadBosmer #BosmerPride

Also I want to take this chance to promote the Realistic Leveling mod, the only one I've found that lets me play my characters the way I want to, without having to do stupid gamey shit. Check out that RP-friendly stat and skill spread.

Remaster Discussion Should I restart?

• Upvotes

I recently downloaded it back after sometime, reloaded a save and yeah I’m totally lost, don’t know what I’m doing, how I got my armor, where I stored my stuff. I just don’t have any recollection of it. So would it be wise just to restart over?

Original Question Where can I find the spells for trapping souls and enchanting weapons?

3 Upvotes

I just got my hands on Azura's Star, but I don't want to sacrifice it for the main quest because I think it could be useful. I've got other artifacts in mind to sacrifice, but I digress. I can't use Azura's Star right now because I don't have the spell for trapping souls in soul gems. And I can't keep my enchanted weapons charged because I don't have any enchanting spells.

So, where can I get these spells? I tried the spell shop in the Imperial City but they didn't have what I was looking for.

Remaster Discussion Remaster vs OG Oblivion

Hey guys! I wanna play Oblivion but remaster doesn't work well on my pc and horrible performance on my xbox SX. However if i play og version still worth it? Thx u all

Remaster Discussion Would you advice me to mod oblivion or to balance the remaster graphic settings ?

6 Upvotes

Hi ☺️

so the remaster is slightly laggy (there is like a fuzzy horizontal line and it adapts all the time and i can sense it on the screen) and most important for me it feels saturated (with details seeming to be reloading, colors, light effects) i tried a lot of settings to get it to be smoother but the problems seem anchored in the remaster version and the insufficient capacity of my card (nidia something) or idk i'm lost and noob about it

anyway without entering details. would you advice me to mod the og oblivion so it has better quality or to keep on trying to understand how to fix the settings of the remaster's graphics?

in terms of me being a noob lol like installing mod with vortex is easy but trying to understand fps xess and whatever choices i have on the graphic settings melts my mind 🤤 but if you tell me that is actually easy to understand and to set, with some guide or just from your own experience, that might help me make a choice 😍

thanks 🫶🏻

Remaster Discussion OB:MP SDK 1.0.0-rc.3 is out + more on first servers being built

40 Upvotes

Hey! More updates on the community multiplayer platform for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered - OB:MP.

The video is from Donkey, who runs the Red Diamond RP server. He built his own inventory systems, character page, full world map and spells menu on top of OB:MP. You can follow his work on YouTube, and join his server's Discord.

Today we released SDK 1.0.0-rc.3 and Launcher 0.34.0. Most of it comes from player reports:

  • Your name, race, class, sex and birthsign are now saved and synced to other players.
  • Rebirth no longer stacks birthsign and racial bonuses or drifts your stats.
  • Pickpocketing works, books can be bought and sold, and merchants restock properly.
  • Server mods get cell respawn controls (72 game hours by default, or instant).
  • Servers can show banners and icons in a refreshed server list.
  • Playing on Linux through Proton is much simpler.

It's still a release candidate, so expect rough edges. OB:MP needs the Steam version of Oblivion Remastered for now. WiP on Xbox Game Pass/MS Store, something may come out next week.

Release notes: docs.ready.mp/releases
Server downloads: docs.ready.mp/oblivion-mp/docs/Server/installation
Discord: discord.gg/obmp

Build MMO/RP/RPG or whatever you want on Remastered with us! Happy to answer questions in the thread 😁
