In a recent post on Reddit, JoelColden shared a video of butterflies fluttering over a lake. At first, the footage seemed somewhat innocuous, as there didn't appear to be anything wrong. However, upon closer inspection, one can see that the butterflies are erasing the reflection of the trees in the water as they fly overhead. It's an interesting visual bug that caught the attention of JoelColden. Bethesda has something of a reputation for having interesting bugs and glitches in their games, and it would seem that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is no exception. In fact, some fans joke that the bugs are a feature of Bethesda's titles.

Butterflies Can Erase Reflections in Oblivion Remastered

One player recently reported that they encountered a bug with their camera in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. According to the gamer, the camera pans upward during conversations and creates an unusual visual effect similar to that of a fish-eye lens. Bugs like this can create humorous moments in the game, but they can also hinder one's enjoyment if they aren't able to find a fix. Fortunately, the community often rallies around players in order to help them work out how to fix the glitch or minimize it.

While some bugs are fairly harmless, others can truly hold back the title from being enjoyable. For instance, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered appears to be having some performance issues on consoles. Some players have theorized that the title could be suffering from some kind of memory leak, though there's no official confirmation about whether that's true or not. What can be confirmed is that, as gamers stack up more and more playtime, the game's performance will actually begin to suffer. The only way to reset the issue is to completely reboot the game, which should provide some relief for a while. Despite a few hiccups and complaints, many fans seem to be enjoying their time with The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered.
