LOD Refresh Bug Fix

It works on vanilla, alongside Community Shaders, and alongside ENB.

This was made with the help of AI, using doodlums Ghidra scripts, they can be found here. AI was used to help RE Skyrim's LOD system so I could narrow down the actual root cause of this bug, it was a huge help.

REQUIREMENTS

• []Skyrim Anniversary Edition Supports all game versions.[/]

  []SKSE64[/]

  []Address Library for SKSE Plugins[/]

  WHAT IT FIXES

  The engine only releases loaded LOD when its terrain manager changes, and there are two cases where that never happens:

  • []Moving between a worldspace and its parent. Tamriel and WhiterunWorld share one terrain manager, so the reset the engine would normally do cannot fire.[/]

    []Any long teleport inside a single worldspace\fast travel, or coc from one hold to another. The per-frame update stops descending the LOD quadtree at the area you left, so everything loaded there is never visited again and never released.[/]

    When a loading screen closes, the plugin checks whether the engine is going to handle it. If it is, the plugin does nothing at all. If it is not, it runs the engine's own reset. LOD blanks and rebuilds over roughly a second afterwards.

    COMPATIBILITY

    There is no ESP, so there is no load order to worry about. Safe with Community Shaders, ENB, and with xLODGen and DynDOLOD output.

    CONFIGURATION

    Entirely optional, at Data/SKSE/Plugins/SkyrimLODFixes.ini. The defaults are fine and you do not need the file at all.
