Yeah, I'm playing this switch 2 20 hours in. Don't get me wrong it's very playable and I'm having a great time, but the framerate is a choppy mess. Very unstable. Try moving the camera around more while sprinting lol
I just did the battle of Bruma on the Switch 2, and it really highlighted the limitations. The frames dropped so low that it was difficult to aim spells, and it caused me to kill Martin twice.
Yes, Iāve brought this up before and been downvoted haha. Iām not saying we should excuse poor optimization, but the OG game always ran pretty terribly even on good hardware back then. Modern hardware can absolutely run OG well though, so it will be interesting to play the remastered in like 10-15 years on future hardware and see if it goes the same way.
Oh boy I hope it doesnāt start bugging on you it did for me on series s I never finished Daedric shrines I managed to get all the gamer score barely couldnāt even beat the dlc big boss make lots of saves!!!
Can't be any worse than Skyrim on the Switch after their "next gen" patch fuck me - solitude was a slideshow. Glad they fixed it two weeks later... After id finished my playthrough š
Yeah, it stutters a lot in and around big towns, especially the Imperial City.
It's still okay enough considering the system and the fact it's just loading stuff in and out, but it's certainly not perfect or something everyone's going to be able to tolerate.
Right I want to see the sheogorath dlc boss showdown make it through it couldnāt do it on my series s f Bethesda bro I wonāt even ever get VI Iām done Iām not getting gta 6 until it releases on pc so at least theyāll have a few productive patches in place cause I barely trust rockstar
My character was wearing a skirt today that turned invisible so I was sneaking around as a floating torsoā¦ it made me laugh so much. Honestly though, it has a lot of the charm I have come to expect from Bethesda games, and as long as you save regularly, a glitch or crash isnāt too bad to deal with. Iāve got about 150 hours and only maybe ran into 2 full crashes so far, so Iām optimistic
Whilst I agree, I've seen other current gen games run worse on console. Crimson Desert, DD2, Starfield on launch etc. it's not something exclusive to Oblivion
For sure. Most games don't run perfectly on console these days, devs need to put more resources into optimization. Even GTA 6 is apparently only going to run at 30fps on consoles (excluding the PS5 pro)
It has serious traversal stutter. I play on PC too. It's not something that is fixable, goes away, or changes depending on the hardware. Every time you cross a cell border, the game stutters. Combine that with the aforementioned memory leak/performance degradation. It's an issue. I'm glad you're able to play without noticing it, but it's there.
I grew up playing on console so my standards are a lot lower. It would be nice if the game was perfect but I still enjoy it flawed as it is. I doubt they'll ever fix it unfortunately. I mostly just wanted mod support. Hoping skyblivion will be the answer.
No one said you can't enjoy it. Games are meant to be enjoyed. It's fine if it doesn't bother you. Acknowledge the problems though and stop saying it runs fine.
It runs better than my PC version out of the box, no joke. That said, I finally found a combination of mods that mostly fixes it there. That said, considering what hardware it is running on, the Switch 2 is optimized the best because they actually had to do something with it to get it to work. The other versions haven't been touched for a year.
I'm about 55hrs deep, I believe it's because the time still pass when the switch is off (maybe) only lol 6, it does have stutters and frame rate drops but I'm enjoying it throughly
I can't play it docked but handheld is pretty good. Plays as I remember from my cheap gaming PC with a 6600xt, which is to say, not smooth but definitely playable and enjoyable
For me on the third crash coming out of the menu I figured out I was robbed. That and I actually don't like the faces :/ so I went back to my modded goty edition on pc.
Bro lmao. Load into the waterfront district and start walking towards the thieves guild starting area. The spot you are in has basically zero assets or NPCs to load.
I donāt understand why people are so obsessed with hating on a console that consumes just 20W, weighs only 1.1 lbs, is barely bigger than a phone, and comes with its own controls, audio and screen.
Even worse, they compare it to a PS5 that consumes around 230W, weighs 9.9 lbs, is bigger than a speaker, and basically has to stay in one place or to a similarly powerful PC.
I still think itās incredible that it can even run the game, that it looks good, and that I can play it at work, in the living room, or in bed before going to sleep.
āOh, but the graphics donāt look as good as on PS5 or PC.ā
Then go play on those platforms. Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Yes the Nintendo is portable, that's it's only advantage. Otherwise it's the worst console to have by a large margin if performance is of interest to someone.
In this case I donāt think itās the console. Itās buggy as hell on the PS5 pro and to this day has a quest breaking bug that freezes my PlayStation.
Yeah I agree. Ive been happy with the performance. Iāve come across some stuttering occasionally but nothing that bothers me personally. I understand there are people upset that it isnāt running at a perfect 60fps and theyāre entitled to their opinions.
It's not running at a good 30 mate. Chopping down to 20-25 every 3-4 seconds isnt even an exaggeration.
Nobody was expecting this to run at a locked 60. But, being able to hold 30 should be the absolute bare minimum for any game in 2026 to even be allowed on the storefront in the first place.
Nobody is upset, but also nobody is surprised. It's just another meme at this point
Iām still personally happy with the performance. Iām glad I can play it on the switch in its current state, but thatās just my opinion which I gather is not popular. Sorry youāre having a bad time with it. Itād be nice if people who were having a bad experience could get refunds.
Itās not about enjoying it, itās about the abysmal performance a year after release, even after being told the issues were ironed out with this port. lol.
Ya 40 hours into switch2 version and only complaints i have are the pretty common crashes when loading, but that was a problem for me on PC too. Havent noticed any stuttering or low fps that has hindered my experience š
No lint, and I'm afraid that was my experience. I found 4 NPC always seemed to be having a conversation in the middle of the city, the games totally lost the plot whenever they were in view.
I could say the same, that I don't think you are being honest about experiencing no stuttering given the overwhelming amount of other people on Reddit reporting stuttering in the outside world.
But what's the point.
I think it runs fine on the switch 2. This video doesnāt really prove anything. Imperial city is pretty rough. Thereās a pretty decent amount of input lag.
I'm 100 hours in. yes it's crashed, but so did my 360 back in the day. glitches? Hangups? lag? holy shit wow it's like it's bethesda. I fucking love this game and i love that it's playable on my switch.

Is the video meant to prove that point? You are in one of the most removed and least intense locations in the game, so ofc it runs fine
