Why Does the GPU Crash Dump Happen?
This error often happens because of old or wrong graphics drivers. Drivers help your computer use your graphics card. Another cause is a file called “sl.pcl.dll” in the game folder. Overlays from apps like Discord or Steam can also cause crashes. Running your hardware faster than normal (overclocking) may worsen the problem.
How to Fixes GPU Crash Dump Triggered
To fix the Oblivion Remastered GPU Crash Dump Triggered error, start by updating your graphics card drivers. Go to the AMD or Nvidia website and download the newest drivers for your card. Avoid using Windows Update for this because it may not have the latest drivers. After updating, restart your computer and try the game again.

- Navigate to:
- For Steam:
Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion Remastered\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\nvidia\DLSS\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64 - For Xbox/Game Pass:
C:\XboxGames\The Elder Scrolls IV- Oblivion Remastered\Content\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\nvidia\DLSS\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64
- For Steam:
- Create a backup of
sl.pcl.dll, then rename or delete it. - Restart the game and check if the issue is resolved.
Turn off overlays in apps like Discord and Steam. Open each app’s settings and disable the “in-game overlay” feature. Overlays can cause conflicts with the game and lead to crashes. Also, reset your graphics settings to default in AMD Adrenalin or Nvidia Control Panel. This helps if custom settings cause the problem.
