Those were actually suggested settings... can't remember where I got them but they've always worked for me. I'm actually using Vortex but both Dyndolod and Occlusion were enabled in my Plugins so I'm really stumped as to what's going on. I'm going to try a clean install of Skyrim... failing that, I'll go back to v110 for now as I did have that working. I'm thinking some time in about 2026, I'll actually start playing the game . Any suggestion as to how much I should increase it by?

I'll have another look at the 'messages' and 'summary of messages' pages... I wasn't able to find anything helpful in them first time though (I try to be thorough as I can before posting here). Here are some screen shots... hopefully they provide some insight... edit: forgot to mention... I don't use Seasons of Skyrim. Sorry for the multiple posts...

In game, there are no LODs... no trees or anything else beyond the loaded cell (except some floating windows). I read through the logs... my problem is that I don't understand them so I just went through the steps I could follow (cleaning all masters and mods as suggested by loot). Re-installed Dyndolod and tried to re-generate but same result. I don't think it's an issue with Dyndolod or this forum would be filled with messages. I'm clearly making an error somewhere but I don't know where. I missed uploading the debug file... here it is. https://ufile.io/u1540d75

I'm having an issue with Dyndolod not generating any LODs at all... it looks quite sad and frightening. Usually the zip file generated is over 10GB and takes around 70 minutes (v110), last two attempts (v111) have been just over 5GB and taken around 45 minutes to generate. Here are the files... https://ufile.io/4lbj7umx https://ufile.io/5zm1s2zo

Thank you for the clarification!

I have a quick question regarding the alpha channel threshold in SSE when not using billboards (I'm using level 0, level 1, level 2, billboard 6 for my trees rule). I tried to research it but kept getting 'bad links' so I figured it would be best to ask here. For billboards, I had my TreeMSAlphaThreshold=174 but I'm not sure where to make the change when using levels. To cut down on the blotchiness of my tree LODs, should I be changing the SSAlphaThreshold? The default is 128 and I was thinking of moving it up to about 150 as a starting point to see how they look. When changing it for billboards, I know increments of 10 were difficult to notice the difference so I'm hoping someone can help me out here to save me from having to regenerate LODs several times and/or changing the wrong values. Thanks.

Works perfectly. Thanks!

I'm attaching the screenshot... I hope it's the correct one. I'll update to Alpha 95 and let you know how it goes. My schedule as of yesterday is ridiculous for the next week but I'll get back to you as soon as I'm able.

I believe those are the 3 mods affecting the shrine. The versions are BDS v2.11.0, Multilayer Parallax Soulgems Azura's Star Realm v1.2 and Azura's Statue Improved Multilayer Parallax and ENB Particle Light v1.0. The Multilayer Parallax Mod, I chose the 3x size for the Shrine of Azura. I'm not entirely sure how to check the references so I'm including screenshots of xEdit... I believe the ENB Particle Light is last before Atlas Map Markers, A Clear Map of Skyrim and my dynamic patches. I'm also attaching the Object Report. https://ufile.io/edmiw0fv

The full model is there and only the LOD disappears. The model does appear on A Clear Map (without the ENB glow) and oddly... if I actually visit the shrine, I can fast travel, save and load the game and the LOD appears from everywhere again without disappearing. Anyway, here are the relevant files (the debug log is from an earlier failed attempt to generate LOD... I figured it might still help though). https://ufile.io/nx236q6p https://ufile.io/i5gcwz74 https://ufile.io/i6nx8uz5

I tried that previously and wasn't able to complete running Dyndolod but had LOD 32 set to 'none'. So... I'll give it another go and set LOD 32 to 'level 0' (as suggested on the Clear Map of Skyrim page). edit: this worked. Setting 'Dynamic' and 'VWD' flags, LOD 32 to 'Level0' and grid to 'NeverFadeFull' has given me ENB light viewable form everywhere. Fantastic! Thanks again. re-edit: apparently it works when I first load the game but if I fast travel or move to an interior, the statue (and ENB light) disappears altogether. Should I re-upload my files? No changes to my LO... and at this point I'm licked. I have no other ideas.

I was hesitant to take up your time with the log files as it seems you get a lot of messages here and this isn't really a bug or issue so much as user incompetence. I checked the rules above mine and found nothing associated with the Shrine of Azura. Anyway... I'm now on a mission to get this right so here are the links to the relevant files... https://ufile.io/247mv6kv https://ufile.io/aaqzk9bo https://ufile.io/x4n20t14

That was what I did initially... unfortunately it removed the shrine from the LODs altogether. I'm guessing that for whatever reason, a Clear Map of Skyrim is overwriting the ENB LOD. I'll keep at it and hopefully find a solution. Thanks again.

Thanks. So... just to be clear, LOD 4,8,16,32 should be set to 'none' the flag should be set to Dynamic instead of VWD, grid should be FarFull and the mesh mask should be set to clutter\statues\shrineofazura01.nif.

Hello... I'm having a problem in trying to create a custom rule for this mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/46522?tab=files). I can't seem to get the LODs for the ENB lights to work. I'm using the second example from the guide here (https://dyndolod.info/Mods/Replaced-Full-Model-Example-Azura-Statue). I created the rule just above the '\' section in the Dyndolod UI. I know that there's another mod that apparently does the same thing I'm looking to do but I don't really want a giant nude statue in the middle of the world. I can see the statue from just about everywhere that I have a proper line of sight so the LOD is not a problem... except for the ENB lights. Is there anything else I should be doing? Maybe an additional step that I'm missing? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I never got the chance to find out... as soon as I applied the steps in that link, everything just worked.

Here are the logs returned with the Windows Event Veiwer: "Unable to open the Server service performance object. The first four bytes (DWORD) of the Data section contains the status code." "Unable to open the job object \BaseNamedObjects\WmiProviderSubSystemHostJob for query access. The calling process may not have permission to open this job. The first four bytes (DWORD) of the Data section contains the status code." "The Open procedure for service "WmiApRpl" in DLL "C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\wmiaprpl.dll" failed with error code The device is not ready.. Performance data for this service will not be available." These were all logged simultaneously which is why I was unsure which log to post. Having Googled them and taken (to the best of my limited knowledge) all steps to mitigate the issue, there's no change. edit: anyone else who has this issue... the solution can be found here. At least it worked for me. Crisis averted... https://www.admin-enclave.com/en/articles/windows/306-resolved-the-open-procedure-for-service-bits-in-dll-c-windows-system32-bitsperf-dll-failed-performance-data-for-this-service-will-not-be-available-the-first-four-bytes-dword-of-the-data-section-contains-the-error-code.html

Oh, you mean the Windows Event log entry? I didn't think you would want to see that as it didn't seem to be related to Dyndolod. I'll re-run it and post the log here then.

It's the same issue I was having yesteday (I'm re-posting the links to the required logs https://ufile.io/f/do0q2 https://ufile.io/5lcjens0 ). Where would I find the Beta? The 'download' page directs me to the Alpha 77 file.

Is there any way for me to get the older versions of Dyndolod 3 and Dyndolod 3 resources so I can test the issue I'm having? I'm currently using Resources Alpha 22 and Dyndolod Alpha 77. I've exhausted every troubleshooting step I can find (re-install, repair ,Net Framework 3.5 and 4.8) and the problem persists. I was able to successfully generate LOD with the previous versions hours before I downloaded the new versions and just want to make sure I'm not having some strange interaction. My only other option as far as I can tell is to format my hard drive.

Not sure how I skipped the test file... here it is. https://ufile.io/5lcjens0 I updated the .Net Framework but same result. I'll check the window event log once I figure out how to do that... Thanks again. edit: the Windows Event viewer did in fact return... something. I have no idea what it's telling me but it looks quite serious. I can't even post what it's saying on here because I don't actually know what I would be posting. It doesn't look like this is a Dyndolod issue though. Looks like it's time to learn a new thing...

Trying to generate LOD with the latest release, I got this error message: [Window Title] DynDOLOD [Main Instruction] Executing LODGenx64.exe returned error code E0434352. [Content] "G:\DynDOLOD folder\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\LODGenx64.exe" --inputfile "G:\DynDOLOD folder\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\Export\LODGen_SSE_Test.txt" --logfile "G:\DynDOLOD folder\DynDOLOD\Logs\LODGen_SSE_Test_log.txt".

Click on this link for additional explanations and help for this message [Exit DynDOLOD] [Footer] Online Help | Support Forum | Copy message to clipboard Here are the relevant files (I hope). https://ufile.io/f/do0q2 In case this helps at all... I had one bad texture so I tried a clean install of everything (wiped and re-downloaded SSE, Downgraded, etc). Probably should have just left well enough alone...

Thanks.

So... I've been trying to learn this properly for many months now and I've gotten better but not good due to my lack of ability to understand the terminology used in the manuals. As I understand it though, the flickering textures (z fighting) are a result of mismatched large references so my question is about this part in particular: [General] uLargeRefLODGridSize=odd number of cells A setting of 5 (if it matches the uGridsToLoad value) turns the large reference system off. Should I be setting the large reference grid size to '5' to match the uGrids value in my Skyrim.ini? Currently it's set at 11 and while the flickering isn't harsh, it is very noticable.

Danke.
