Disannul

The beta 57 x64 has greatly reduced generation time. This is with the same xLODGen settings as previously set. I now fall within the time range estimated for the modlist setup (2-3h). Thank you sheson, much appreciated! Edit: out of curiosity what did you change to make xLODGen faster? I probably wont understand, but would be chill to hear nontheless

Raising the priority in task manger didnt change anything. Ill close the issue. x64 works, just takes longer than expected, nothing game-stopping. Thanks for the troubleshooting sheson!

With further testing (same settings as previously); x64 version; same result with inidvidual worldspace generation. Both tamriel and solstheim take around 2-3h individually. No errors, just very slow x86 version; both tamriel and solstheim generation produces memory errors [spoiler=Tamriel Log][15:08] f:\lexy lotd\mods\xlodgen output\textures\terrain\tamriel\tamriel.4.4.28.dds [15:08] Error creating textures for level 8 quad [0,24] Thread creation error: Not enough memory resources are available to process this command [15:08] Error creating textures for level 8 quad [8,24] Thread creation error: Not enough memory resources are available to process this command [15:08] Error creating textures for level 16 quad [0,16] Thread creation error: Not enough memory resources are available to process this command [15:09] f:\lexy lotd\mods\xlodgen output\textures\terrain\tamriel\tamriel.4.24.20.dds [15:09] Error creating textures for level 4 quad [28,16] Thread creation error: Not enough memory resources are available to process this command [15:09] Error creating textures for level 4 quad [24,16] Error while cloning image.

Thanks, will test by generating and merging the worldspaces, and x86.

Thanks for the rapid response and clarification, ill try to respond to your points. 1. Regarding the guide, i think its well known and popular, thus the length of time xLODGen needs in the guide is well known. I mentioned the guide more to state that there may be an issue for me because xLODGen is taking far longer than it is known to do with the modlist. I dont know how to ask your help without the modlist coming up. If you prefer not to help since no support for 3rd party guides (i understand and respect that), ill drop the issue. If not, ive added further details below. 2. There is no specfic error in any worldspace during the process according to the log. I belive it is the textures that are the issue; during texture processing it takes about 3h+ to go from Tamriel "skyrim" worldspace to Sovengarde "sovengarde" worldspace. At this point the entire xLODGen process should already be done according to the guide. CPU utilization was very low (around 1 - 5%) during the entire process. Here is an excerpt from the SSELODGen log, which may be of interest. As far as i can tell it states the operation for tamriel worldspace took 36:59 minutes. However the preceeding line shows 45:56 minutes for start of 32.32.32_n.dds. I was watching this step, the 36:59 is referencing the next hour, not cumulative time i believe. Going from start of 32.32.32_n.dds processing to finishing took around 45m, so tamriel processing was around 1h35m. Not sure if this is relevant to the issue though.

All versions were x64, my windows is x64 5. OS settings are majority default except for disabling of permission like location, camera, etc. Page file is 4GB on OS SSD. I hope this helps clarify the issue!

I have an issue with the xLODGen step during Lexy's LOTD Guide (was referred here via their discord). It takes far longer than 2h, closer to 12h as far as i can tell (leave it running overnight). The version of xLODGen used is the one from the guide, downloaded via WJ. The issue is reproducible on my set up. On the 2nd attempt I triple checked to make sure only terrain LOD was checked, sse-terrain-tamriel.esm checked, each LOD# set up according to screenshots, etc; same outcome. I have no issues elsewhere in Lexy's guide, and once everything is done modded SSE runs perfectly. PC specs; Ryzen 5 2600X, GTX 1080 8GB, 16GB DDR4 3200mhz RAM, 500GB NVMe SSD, Windows 10. I can also add that when the computer is running xLODGen only, there is barely any CPU utilization in taskmanager/performance. Program is completely responsive though. No errors in the log. The only unusual thing I noticed was that xLODGen takes a long time to switch to the next worldspace (e.g. tamriel -> markarth). Any help is appreciated.
