    Kept getting “your gpu is too old” error messages, although I know others have played it online with 980ti. All the google results said to update windows but I wasn’t even on windows. Gave up on it.

      In my mind the 980ti is still only a couple years old, so I went to check.

      1. Eight years. Fuck me, I’m still not used to this starting to feel old thing.

        Yeah but they say you can run it on a 1070 and that’s basically the same lvl as 980ti

        Anyways I saw 980ti benchmarks out there so i don’t think that’s the problem, it’s some dx12 compatibility nonsense. Which shouldn’t be an issue because it supposedly runs on steam deck.

          Why would it running on steam deck negate a dx12 comparability issue…

            Because the issue is proton dx12 implementation which steam deck obviously has some workaround for.

                  Why not lead with that in your original comment lmfao

                    My original comment said I’m not using windows, what the hell else could I be trying to play it on? Sega Dreamcast?

        Thank you so much for confirming it’s possible.

        Ok maybe I will do a Wendy’s dual boot so I can try to play it. I love oblivion so much and I just want to play TES in space

      I get the same error on the same hardware. Luckily, I have a steam deck I can play it on while the issue (hopefully) gets resolved in Proton. It doesn’t run very well on the steam deck, though. But it is playable.

      I Uninstaller graphics drivers on my boyfriends pc and reinstalled them manually to get that fixed. GeForce experience install wasn’t working.
