Discovered fog of war not working correctly on wilderness and dungeons

Submitted by jack.caceres on

Hi, I found out that the discovered FOW dissapears on certains areas (that´s everything goes to black again as they weren´t discovered yet). When it happens? After some long time playing in the wilderness. Or when you enter a dungeon and then exit from it. Most areas I have found this issue are the water surrounding Vivec and near wilderness. Even on some parts of the city of Vivec these areas becomes undiscovered again.

I thought this problem was with the mod I use to increase the FOW discovery radius. Even removing it and using the vanilla radius the problem still happens. Also removed the Purge Cell Buffers. The same issue. 

Anyone having such problem? Or just me?

By the way, this also affects the FOW inside a dungeon. Sometimes the map do not load correctly (everything is black). After I exit such dungeon and reenter it the map appears.

This is a combination of limitations with Oblivion, and meshes that the game does not really know hot to handle. I have seen this myself around Vivec. To fix this would mean identifying whatever it is that Oblivion doesn't like or can't handle, then updating meshes one at a time. I do not realistically think this will ever happen.
