PLEASE NOTE: Mods such as BostonFPSFix and Previsibines Repair Pack are already aware of this problem and have included this fix. Alas, this may remain handy for those who need it, or simply curious. 


Hi folks,

Decided to throw this up for awareness. What this does is disables a unique occlusion box that Bethesda placed here, and by unique I mean there are no other instances of it in the game, just this one. It seems somebody at Beth mistakenly made a duplicate of the regular occlusion box and placed it here. 

The reason why this is significant is that if you try to regenerate precombined meshes and previs data in this area, the whole thing will be completely bugged out as in you will see the whole world disappearing/reappearing as you walk around this area in game (aka occlusion bugs). I was personally very pissed off to find this after I generated 11 ugrids worth of cells in this area :(. It's not healthy that this exists with the whole precull system Beth has in place anyway, so recommend users download and incorporate into their own patches anyway. 

Also recommend it to be incorporated to the Unofficial Patch. (Update: I'm told it's out of their scope).

FYI the FormID of the object is 001A32E3 (OcclusionBoxTestDUPLICATE000 [STAT:001A32E2]), placed in cell 0000DFE0.
