Are you frustrated by the inability to adjust the Upscaling Technique setting within the Graphics menu of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on PC Game Pass? You are certainly not alone. Following the most recent update for the PC Game Pass version of Oblivion Remastered, numerous players have reported that the Upscaling Technique option is locked, typically set to "Off," and cannot be changed. Additionally, the Anti-Aliasing setting appears greyed out. This guide will delve into the reasons behind this issue and provide effective workarounds while an official patch is being developed.It has been confirmed that the latest update for the PC Game Pass version of Oblivion Remastered, released on April 25th, 2025, is the direct cause of the inability to modify the Anti-Aliasing and Upscaling Technique settings in-game. The developers at Bethesda are aware of this problem and are actively working on a solution.

Fix Oblivion Remastered Upscaling Technique Not Working

Reddit user Jackal239 shared a response from Bethesda Customer Support, confirming their awareness of the issue affecting the Xbox App for PC version of the game. The official statement reads: “Greetings! Thank you for contacting the Bethesda Customer Support Team. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are aware of an issue where the DLSS/upscaling options are not available after the update on April 25th, 2025 for the Xbox App for PC. We are working to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Regards, Bethesda Customer Support” This confirms that an official fix is indeed in development. However, considering it is currently the weekend, the release of a patch may take some time. In the interim, here are some effective workarounds to regain control over your upscaling settings:

Workaround 1: Leveraging Console Commands

Did you know that Oblivion Remastered retains its support for console commands? This powerful tool allows you to directly manipulate in-game settings. However, be aware that using console commands will disable achievement unlocking for your current save. If you wish to circumvent this limitation whilestill utilizing console commands, consider exploring this mod (link tomod).

To enable Frame Generation or alter the Upscaling Technique using console commands, follow these steps:

  • Open the in-game console by pressing the "~" (tilde) key.
  • Enter the following commands as needed:

    For NVIDIA DLSS:

    • Altar.UpscalingMethod 1: This command sets the upscaling technique to DLSS.
    • Altar.DLSS.FG.Enabled 1: This command enables Frame Generation when using DLSS.
    • Altar.DLSS.Quality [Value]: This command adjusts the DLSS Quality setting. Replace [Value] with one of the following:
      • 2: DLAA
      • 4: Quality
      • 5: Balanced
      • 6: Performance
      • 7: Ultra Performance

    For AMD FSR 3:

    • Altar.UpscalingMethod 2: This command sets the upscaling technique to AMD FSR 3.
    • Altar.FSR3.FI.Enabled 1 or r.FidelityFX.FI.Enabled=1: Either of these commands will enable Frame Generation when using AMD FSR 3.
    • Altar.FSR3.Quality [Value]: This command adjusts the FSR 3 Quality setting. Replace [Value] with a numerical value. Higher values generally prioritize performance with a potential decrease in visual fidelity.

    • Workaround 2: The "Press Y" Trick

    Reddit user StarPlayerOfTheAbes discovered a peculiar workaround that hasproven effective for some players in enabling anti-aliasing. The methodinvolves simply hovering your cursor over the greyed-out "Upscaling Technique" setting and pressing the "Y" key on your controller (if you are using one). While this has reportedly enabled anti-aliasing for some, it does not provide a method for enabling Frame Generation.

    Workaround 3: Editing the Engine.ini File

    If you prefer to avoid using console commands, you can directly modify the game's configuration file. Follow these steps:

  • Open File Explorer and navigate to the following directory:

    %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\SavedConfig\WinGDK

  • Locate and open the Engine.ini file using a text editor such as Notepad.
  • Scroll to the very bottom of the file and copy-paste the following lines:

    Ini, TOML
    [SystemSettings]r.FidelityFX.FSR3.Enabled=1r.FidelityFX.FSR3.QualityMode=2 ; Balanced quality moder.FidelityFX.FI.Enabled=1r.FidelityFX.FI.AllowAsyncWorkloads=1r.FidelityFX.FI.OverrideSwapChainDX12=1
    • r.FidelityFX.FSR3.Enabled=1: Enables AMD FSR 3.5
    • r.FidelityFX.FSR3.QualityMode=2: Sets the FSR 3 quality mode to Balanced. You can experiment with other values for different quality presets.
    • r.FidelityFX.FI.Enabled=1: Enables AMD Fluid Motion Frames (Frame Generation).
    • r.FidelityFX.FI.AllowAsyncWorkloads=1: Allows asynchronous workloads for Frame Generation.
    • r.FidelityFX.FI.OverrideSwapChainDX12=1: Overrides the swap chain for Frame Generation.
  • Save the changes to the Engine.ini file.
  • Launch Oblivion Remastered to see if the changes have taken effect.

    • Workaround 4: Enabling Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling

    There is a possibility that having Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling disabled on your system might be contributing to the inability toutilize new GPU-related features like Frame Generation. To enable thissetting:

  • Open the Windows Settings menu (Windows key + I).
  • Select System.
  • Click on Display in the left-hand menu.
  • Scroll down and click on Graphics settings.
  • Click on Default graphics settings.
  • Toggle the Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling option to On.
  • Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

    • While these workarounds may not be ideal, they offer temporary solutions tothe upscaling and anti-aliasing issues in Oblivion Remastered on PC Game Pass. Keep an eye out for official announcements from Bethesdaregarding the release of a patch that will address these problemsdirectly within the game's settings menu.
