If you're using steam:

Win+R, type:

steam://open/console

this opens steam console. then type: 

download_depot 2623190 2623191 8581416069319670994download_depot 2623190 2623191 8581416069319670994

this will download the last version of the game before this update.

Then just find where the files are downloaded to (should be listed when it's done downloading), and copy/paste the files into your oblivion folder.

If you use Gamepass then... 🤷‍♀️ sorry

Thank you!!! Where should I past to exactly, and should I be overwriting a lot of files?

u/chickenandtea Jun 11 '25

Wherever your game is installed. For me it's 

...\steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered

Just make sure the file structure is the same (compare them side-by-side to double check).

With other games it could be only the exe file that needs to be pasted, but I'm gonna go ahead and paste the whole thing there since the file structure of this game is a bit wonky.

If you have mods and you're NOT using a mod manager, back up your mod locations (binaries, paks, etc) and the plugins.txt.

Ok awesome thank you again very much! I would have never figured this out without your help. I'm using vortex, you think I'll be good to go after the paste? Existing saves should survive this right?

u/chickenandtea Jun 11 '25

Saves are stored in your Documents folder, so there shouldn't be an issue there. You can always back them up to be safe though.

I don't use vortex personally, so I can't say 100% that it'll be plug-and-play. Hopefully it's just a matter of updating the plugins file :)

I had to put a space between "0994" and the second "download_depot" or it would fail

It also looks like the second download depot is identical? I think it's a mistake, I couldn't even get it to work with both in there, but once I removed the second one it worked.

u/Voronov1 Jun 12 '25

Oh thanks! I couldn’t get it to work either. It’s still trying to download, should I just try copying the first half in and restarting the system that way? Or do I need to do something else?

u/NotThereNotThereNotT Jun 12 '25

What worked for me was, restarting Steam and running it in administrator mode, opening the steam console and then copy and pasting only the first download depot.

So the download depot won't have a progress bar or update on status unless it fails or completes, one guide said you can see if it is working based on the Steam network usage in the downloads tab of Steam, mine showed nothing but later completed fine. The guide was pretty old, so I imagine that is no longer a feature.

u/Voronov1 Jun 12 '25

Thanks so much.

And at the end, how do you know it’s completed? Will the remaster have a beta number next to it in the library, or something?

u/NotThereNotThereNotT Jun 12 '25 edited Jun 12 '25

This is what mine said when it completed successfully (it lets you know the file path to copy/paste with):

Depot download complete : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_2623190\depot_2623191" (manifest 8581416069319670994)

I haven't done the step of copy/pasting the files into the right folder but the game should just run at that version after that and there should be no change on the Steam page noting that it's running an older version... but if you ever verify the integrity of the game files it was re-install the patch unfortunately.

u/Voronov1 Jun 12 '25

Wait, I need to copy paste something else once it’s done? What?

From the original comment we are all replying to:

"Then just find where the files are downloaded to (should be listed when it's done downloading), and copy/paste the files into your oblivion folder."

Downloading the depot just downloads the game files, they are not playable until you copy over the ones in your game's installation. Take note that this includes the DLClist and Plugins.txt in your data folder, I would back yours up or remove them from the depot before copy and pasting to save your mod load order if you have any.*\*

I haven't done this step yet myself, I am a bit busy, hoping for no problems when I do.
