Enjoying the latest The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered? Well, initial reception of the game seems to be on the positive side with many commending the visuals and overhaul of Cyrodiil but there are some who still prefer the original game over this remaster. Anyway, healthy banter aside, the remaster is indeed very good, although some bugs do persists in the game. Coming to bugs, the unable to change resolution bug has been troubling many since the game made its debut. If you too are encountering the same, consider reading this guide for workarounds to fix it for good.
We came to know about this bug from recent player reports, which suggested that many are unable to change the in-game resolution to their desired values. Some are stuck with choosing resolutions that go as high as 1080p. While lower resolutions can be applied, all options post 1080p just don’t appear. Players having monitors that support up to 5120×1440 resolutions are unable to select the same in-game. So, this clearly is a bug that needs to be fixed.
