Ambient Occlusion Issue
Hey there,
I'm not sure what this is. my problem is that the ambient occlusion effect seems to dissipate at the edge of the screen, as if the AO is only rendered within a smaller boundary of the screen
This happens with both SSAO and HBAO+, though of course it's more noticeable with the latter.I made a video to show it:

And It doesn't look too bad but in motion, in game it's very annoying and ugly, and it's EVERYWHERE all of the time.

I was wondering if there is anyway this can be resolved or made a little less obvious. Does anyone know what it could be.
It's worth noting I have uninstalled all my mods. On vanilla the issue is still there.

Its the way the game is.
Try this:

Launch Fallout 4's launcher, go to Options, select "Ultra" preset. Close the launcher

Relaunch Fallout 4, see if anything has changed. If it appears resolved, go ahead and play with settings a bit in the Launcher to optimize your experience how you want.

My HBAO+ and SSAO has become bugged like what you describe before, and this fixes it most of the time.

I will add, the beginning of the game is particularly bad with Ambient Occlusion, so wait until you're in the wasteland proper before really trying to fix it.
