Notes: This time I'll become a little technical. Bethesda upped the Form Version and added a new subrecord called MAGF. This looks like a code refactoring and nothing the user/player should actually care about. Except that we saw (and our tools might not tell the full truth here) what it looked like a deprecation of a previous unidentified subrecord inside the EFIT struct to this new MAGF. All new MAGF fields we saw have been initialized with zeros. The "problem" arises from the fact that not all the previous EFIT fields that were removed were zeroed-out as well. Some of them had data. We do not know what that data did and if it is crucial for the game, we just report what we saw, in case there was actually a refactoring taking place without taking care of data retention. Again, the user/player has no reason to care about all this, we just wanted to point that out in case BethesdaGameStudios reads this.
