DynDOLOD 2.xx Major version update post | Discuss DynDOLOD Skyrim/Enderal | DynDLOD beta Skyrim SE/VR/Enderal SE | What is DynDOLOD? | DynDOLOD FAQ

Refer to the videos for MO and NMM below, they should explain the entire process adequately so you know what to expect. The included manual is all updated as well with the new instructions and the new videos. DynDOLOD Guide for Wrye Bash users by alt3rn1ty is all updated as well.


Make sure to read the latest update post for DynDOLOD Skyrim/Enderal or DynDOLOD beta Skyrim SE/VR.

These minor version update posts contain important information about each new version. They have a link to the older update posts at their bottom.


What's New?

DynDOLOD 2.xx marks the change from a collection of pas scripts for xEdit.exe to a standalone version containing all the required tools in one archive. There now are a DynDOLOD.exe and a TexGen.exe to start the processes. In addition, resources and patches are separated into different downloads for easier installation and maintenance.

Overall the requirements, installation and process to generate LOD are basically the same. The key changes are, that there is no more xEdit required, the patcher now installs into its own folder and the installation of the meshes/texture resources, options or patches just became easier. There is no more default DynDOLOD.esp/bak - it will just be created if needed.

While technically the LOD generated by 2.xx is generally the same compared to 1.xx there have been also the typical updates to better support mods. See the list below in the section "The usual updates" and the fixes and changelogs.

Starting with DynDOLOD 2.22 there is beta support for Skyrim SE. Use -sse command line argument. It should only be used by experienced DynDOLOD users. See the included docs\DynDOLOD_Manual_SSE.html for more info.

Starting with DynDOLOD Resources SE 2.36 for Skyrim SE the Whiterun Exterior, Solitude Exterior and the Desync Bird of Prey plugins have been replaced with *.patch files. The data that used to be in the plugins is now added to DynDOLOD.esp when LOD is is generated in case the *.patch files have been installed.

Starting with DynDOLOD 2.37 there is beta support for Skyrim VR. Use -tes5vr command line argument. It should only be used by experienced DynDOLOD users. See the included docs\DynDOLOD_Manual_TES5VR.html for more info.

Starting with DynDOLOD 2.44 there is full ESL support for Skyrim SE - based on the latest xEdit updates.

Starting with DynDOLOD Resources 2.44 for Skyrim the Whiterun Exterior, Solitude Exterior and the Desync Bird of Prey plugins have been replaced with *.patch files. The data that used to be in the plugins is now added to DynDOLOD.esp when LOD is is generated in case the *.patch files have been installed.

Starting with DynDOLOD 2.45 there is an alternative DynDOLOD DLL that can be used instead of PapyrusUtil for the optional dynamic LOD.

Starting with DynDOLOD 2.48 both TexGen and DynDOLOD can now export textures with BC7 compression. They are used by default for Skyrim Special Edition and Skyrim VR.

Starting with DynDOLOD 2.55 the Steam version of Enderal is supported. Use -enderal command line argument. See included Docs\DynDOLOD_Manual.html "Enderal" section in "Custom Settings for Specific Mods"

Starting with DynDOLOD 2.70 the Skyrim TVDT Occlusion data of cell records can be update/generated. The data is used to disable distant occluded object and terrain LOD meshes behind other terrain LOD meshes for better performance. See included Docs\DynDOLOD_Manual.html "TVDT - Occlusion Data" section. Check the dedicated Skyrim TVDT - Occlusion Data thread for more information, questions and feedback.

There is typically no need to update or generate LOD from scratch for an existing save game just because there is a new DynDOLOD Standalone 2.xx or a new DynDOLOD Resources 2.xx.

Check the list of "The usual updates" below, if a mod which you are using was added recently. Check the changelog. Consider updating or generating LOD from scratch in case you notice missing LOD or if problem that was affecting you was fixed.


Important

DynDOLOD 2.xx requires an installation from scratch when updating from an older 1.xx version. DynDOLOD 2.30 and higher requires an installation from scratch when updating from an older 2.xx version. All former files - meshes, textures, scripts etc. plus all generated LOD should be removed first. Existing files installed to xEdit\Edit Scripts\* do not matter anymore and should not have any effect on the new DynDOLOD standalone if you install it into a new folder. Since LOD generated with older versions will not work with the papyrus scripts from DynDOLOD 2.xx, remove older versions of the patcher from the xEdit folder.

If an existing save is updated with a DynDOLOD.esp generated from scratch, follow the “clean save� cycle: first deactivate DynDOLOD from MCM, wait for deactivation message, go into interior, check MCM DynDOLOD is still deactivated, save, exit game. Remove old DynDOLOD.esp, remove old scripts and remove old meshes/skse/textures. Start game, load last save, wait a bit, save again. Install the new papyrus scripts, the new DynDOLOD.esp and the new generated LOD. Enable the new DynDOLOD.esp. Start game, load the last save, go outside. DynDOLOD should initialize by itself, else activate from MCM.

Before running DynDOLOD.exe, please make sure the CPU is properly cooled and in case it is overclocked, it is verified to be stable. Some routines make use of all cores at times and several LODGen.exe processes are started in parallel when generating for multiple worlds at once.

Dynamic Distant Objects LOD - DynDOLOD

Finally I can see my house from here

You know the price for my mods: blood, sweat and tears. Oh, and your first born.
If you want to help other authors of quality mods then donate to them directly.
 



What is this?
 
DynDOLOD is the advanced and easier version of xLODGen to generate a comprehensive LOD mod for the entire load order for much improved tree and object LOD for the different Skyrim and Enderal versions. xLODGen (which is a renamed xEdit) is a CK replacement LOD generator for generating vanilla style LODs for a worldspace or to include with a mod. By using DynDOLOD users can create drastically enhanced traditional static object LOD plus tree LOD and the new, optional dynamic distant object LOD in a few simple steps.

DynDOLOD is meant for enthusiast modders who are familiar with using xEdit. Enthusiast modders have a general knowledge of computers, folders and files, especially Skyrims 'Data' folders and how to install mods safely with a manager or manually.
 

Some of the features and advantages of DynDOLOD are:
  • DynDOLOD ships with several thousands of updated and missing object LOD models that are famously wrong or missing from the game, thus reducing pop-in and improving distance views by a couple magnitudes. For example, the Skyhaven Temple or landscape features like roads, smaller rocks and dirt cliffs that simply make the distant landscape look much more natural and alive.
  • DynDOLOD adds dynamic LOD for animated or quest enabled objects or for simply using full models that do not work well when used in static object LODs.
  • DynDOLOD adds glow LOD.
  • DynDOLOD improves vanilla object LOD models assignments.
  • DynDOLOD creates better atlas textures (mipmaps alpha coverage, average background color for transparent parts) for tree and object LOD.
  • DynDOLOD can deal with Texture Set replacements.
  • DynDOLOD automatically adds tree LOD in object LOD for trees that can not have traditional billboard tree LOD for several technical reasons or easily allows to have all billboard tree LOD or 3D tree LOD in object LOD.
  • DynDOLOD improves trees in object LOD fading to full model.
  • DynDOLOD has better error proof 3D tree LOD model assignments, which helps with mixing different tree mods and not to worry about overwrite orders.
  • DynDOLOD scans child worlds and automatically creates LOD representation in the parent world.
  • DynDOLOD patches the load order while generating LOD to work around known game issues, for better compatibility between mods and to improve non-LOD visuals.
  • DynDOLOD fixes some of the causes of Skyrim Special Edition large reference bugs triggering texture flicker (unfortunately not all, that system is very fubar)
  • DynDOLOD improves performance of the vanilla game, CC or 3rd party mods by replacing Is Full LOD flag with static object LOD or dynamic LOD.
  • DynDOLOD optimizes full models used in object LOD on the fly for better performance.
  • DynDOLOD contains rules and settings for a constantly growing list of mods to automatically generate correct tree and object LOD for them.
  • DynDOLOD can automatically update TVDT Occlusion with pre-defined options per worldspace.
  • DynDOLOD allows the user to control many settings and options to create the best possible tree and object LOD patch for their load order.
  • DynDOLOD reports on load order issues that otherwise go unnoticed causing hard to troubleshoot problems in the game.
  • DynDOLOD has a SkyUI MCM that allows changing LOD settings in the game.
  • TexGen updates a select list of object LOD textures, so that object LOD better matches the load order.
  • DynDOLOD/TexGen make it extremely easy to have well working and much better looking tree and object LOD for a complete load order. It has detailed documentation and lots of videos.
 
To replicate all the things that DynDOLOD does with CK/xEdit/xLODGen, it would take months of manual work and the use of additional tools to edit models/textures.
 
There are no INI settings that can improve LOD meshes or textures or update them to match the load order. Specifically, do not fall for or repeat crass misinformation that using INI settings alone can "improve" LOD, have "literally" no impact on performance or could come close to ever being a substitute for generating drastically improved LOD for the current load order. Especially the large reference setting with its limitations and bugs, its visual issues and performance impact is is not remotely a valid alternative. Such claims are obvious unqualified ignorant nonsense.
 
DynDOLOD is where the development and latest improvements for tree and object LOD for Skyrim happens. These features and options do not belong in xLODGen as they are specific to Skyrim only and because xEdit/xLODGen is a modding tool to replace CK and not intended to be a patcher to create a comprehensive LOD patch for complete load orders with build-in support for mods.
 
Generally, xLODGen tree and object LOD generation is for mod authors and the easier and advanced DynDOLOD is for users. However, DynDOLOD also has a specific "mod create" mode, so mod authors can include improved object and tree LOD with their mods for consoles for example, where users can not easily generate LOD for their load order.
 
The improvements are obvious when comparing screenshots or before and after videos. See below.
 


What does it do?

It makes Skyrim look like this

Requirements
 
SKSE for the used game version.
 
DynDOLOD DLL or PapyrusUtil for the used game version
 
DynDOLOD Resources for the used game version - Make sure to use DynDOLOD Resources version only with matching or higher DynDOLOD Standalone versions but never with older versions.

Vanilla Skyrim LOD Billboards from TES5LODGen or Indistinguishable Vanilla Tree Billboards. If using tree mods that do not include billboards, check TES5LODGen for ready-to-use tree LOD billboards for some tree mods. For STEP users all billboards are included in STEP Texture Compilation.
 
SKSE and DynDOLOD DLL or PapyrusUtil are only required if the dynamic object LOD (Generate DynDOLOD checkbox) is generated. Static object LOD and tree LOD will always work.
 
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 - Required by LODGen.exe. Get matching platform x86/x64 depending on which DynDOLOD.exe (x86) or DynDOLODx64.exe (x64) is used. LODGen.exe will print an explanatory message in case it is missing.

=======================================================================

Frequently Asked Questions

=======================================================================

Q: What does RTFM stand for?

A: Read The Funtastic Manual! Read the update post!

=======================================================================

Q: Skyrim Special Edition?

A: Beta. See ..DynDOLOD\Docs\DynDOLOD_Manual_SSE.html

=======================================================================

Q: Skyrim VR?

A: Beta. See ..DynDOLOD\Docs\DynDOLOD_Manual_TES5VR.html

=======================================================================

Q: Game: Performance

A: DynDOLOD is a set of tools that generates a LOD mod based on the load order and options/settings made by the user. The visual results and the performance impact are what the user chooses it to be. The resource requirements can be less, same or more than the vanilla game while the visual result is always vastly superior.

A: There are 3 presets: Low - almost none. Medium - like SkyFalls + SDO but 1000x better visuals. High - certainly yes. RTFM to adjust every detail yourself.

=======================================================================

 

Q: Do I need DynDOLOD to improve distance views / map?
 
A: DynDOLOD is a set of tools to generate a comprehensive LOD mod for drastically improved tree and object LOD. DynDOLOD ships with thousands of new LOD models that are missing from the game. The tools automate and combine processes into a few easy steps, that otherwise take months if not years to do manually.
 
A: There are no INI settings that improve or update tree or object LOD meshes or textures for the current load order. LOD needs to be generated for the current load order to match and work correctly.
 
A: Increasing uGridsToLoad does not improve LOD, it pushes the border where tree and object LOD start further away. It is not recommended to change it for stable play through. Use ultra tree LOD with 3D tree LOD models.
 
A: Using/Increasing uLargeRefGridSize has visual bugs which are documented in ..\DynDOLOD\Docs\SkyrimSELargeRefGrid\SkyrimSE-LargeRefGrid.html. It typically only works for a pre-defined list of vanilla large references (excluding trees) and exponentially requires more resources and performance than better matching and improved LOD. Setting insane values is not improving LOD meshes or textures. Texture flicker is caused by incompatible plugins triggering large reference bugs. The setting is not a substitute for better matching and improved object and tree LOD meshes and textures.
 
A: LOD only works and looks correctly for the load order it was generated for, which means pre-made LODs are always wrong and cause visual issues. Especially tree LOD breaks easily, see answers below for 'LOD trees show in loaded cells' for example.
 
A: Generating improved tree and object LOD with DynDOLOD is easy and following proper modding practice, testing it can be done quickly without affecting the load order or save files.
 
A: Use xLODGen to generate improved and bug free terrain LOD meshes and textures before generating improved tree and object LOD with DynDOLOD.
 
A: Use xLODGen or DynDOLOD to update occlusion data to fix rectangular holes in the distance. See 'Rectangular holes in LOD' below.
 
=======================================================================

Q: xEdit / TES5Edit / FO4Edit / SSEEdit

A: They are all the same thing. The 'x' in xEdit stands for whatever game is currently used. Substitute the 'x' by whatever game/path you are using. The xEdit.exe can be renamed to work for different games.

=======================================================================

Q: Virus?

A: Nexus automatically scans every upload. Look for the green/blue circle checkmark for each file on the files tab.

A: Check with https://www.virustotal.com to rule out false positives.

=======================================================================

Q: Errors while running DynDOLOD.exe/TexGen.exe

A: Look for helpful messages in the log above the error.

A: Use the latest version of DynDOLOD.exe/TexGen.exe.

A: Do not install tools or game into special Windows folders like Program Files.

A: Check this FAQ for the error.

A: Check the load order for errors with xEdit.exe before generating LOD. Fix all errors. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr7pz4JGSEM for help.

A: Search the Official DynDOLOD Forum for the error message and possible disucssions and solutions.

A: If problem persists post error report with entire contents (not just the last couple lines) of ..\DynDOLOD\bugreport.txt (if it exists) and ..DynDOLOD\Logs\DynDOLOD_[GAMEMODE]_log.txt or a screenshot of the error to the Official DynDOLOD Forum

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: Not seeing all worlds in the selection box

A: Only worlds that have existing lodsettings file in ..\Data\LODSettings\[Worldspace].lod are shown.

A: Some worlds added by plugins are filtered out by default, because generating LOD for them might not be useful or requires special attention. Remove the worldspace name from the filter file ..DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_[GAMEMODE]_worldspace_ignore.txt. Search for the mod, plugin or the worldspace name on the Official DynDOLOD Forum for more information.

A: Read The Funtastic Message under the world selection box. When using MO check that ..\ModOrganizer\profiles\[profile name]\Skyrim.ini / SkyrimVR.ini contains

Q: Checking for errors in DynDOLOD.esp or DynDOLOD.esm with xEdit

A: .. \ Record Flags -> are intentional and can be ignored.

A: Any other error indicates a problem that should be reported to the Official DynDOLOD Forum

=======================================================================

Q: TexGen.exe/DynDOLOD.exe:
A: ESL plugins can only add new records with form IDs between xxxxx800 and xxxxxFFF, but the plugin defines a form id outside these limits. See https://www.afkmods.com/index.php?/topic/5079-plugin-files-and-you-esmeslesp/. The plugin needs to be fixed. Broken plugins cause issues in the game.

=======================================================================

Q: TexGen.exe/DynDOLOD.exe: Access is denied

A: The OS, UAC, anti virus or another third party program is denying access to a file. Use the appropriate OS, UAC, anti virus settings etc. to allow access, including the TexConv.exe/LODGen.exe executables in the ..DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts folder.

A: Make sure only one copy of TexGen.exe/DynDOLOD.exe is running at a time.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: Missing model 'meshes\..\*.nif' - ignoring * [sTAT:xxxxxxxx] for dynamic LOD

A: Verify that all required BSA files are loaded. MO archive management is incompatible with many 3rd party tools like xEdit. Check startup log of DynDOLOD or xEdit, make sure BSA files are loaded via a matching esp filename.

A: Make sure that after merging plugins, their assets are still loaded. BSAs are only loaded via matching esp filename.

A: Plugins often have left over base elements referencing non existing nifs. Look up the form id [sTAT:xxxxxxxx] in xEdit, right click in left pane, Other -> Build Reference Info. Wait for 'All done!' message. Reload the record and check bottom for tab 'Referenced By'. If the tab is not shown, the base element is not used by any references and this error can be ignored. Otherwise install the missing nif and generate LOD again if LOD for this object is desired. Missing nifs can cause CTD if a reference tries to use them. Notify mod author.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: ERROR: Worldspace object bounds added by plugin name.esp for [xxxxxxxx] Worldspace outside +- 128 cells.

A: A plugin changes the size of a worldspace beyond useful values. Either do not select this worldspace when generating LOD or fix the object bounds to useful values if they seem to be wild edits. To fix worldspace bounds error, in xEdit, open the worldspace record by entering the FormID of the worldspace into the field top left. Hit Enter key. Scroll right to the column of the plugin. Scroll down to the rows for Objects Bounds. Right click a value and select edit and enter a number
A: In addition, optionally, in the left tree view unfold the worldspace and and investigate Blocks with numbers = 4 for unintentional edits.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: Could not be resolved

A: There is a plugin in the load order that links to a non existing form id. Check the load order for errors with xEdit.exe before generating LOD. Fix all errors. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr7pz4JGSEM for help.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: There is a problem in xxx.esp with xxx using [xxxxxxxx]

A: There is a plugin in the load order that links to a non existing form id. Use the mentioned form IDs to look up the records in xEdit. It will help to narrow down the broken plugin. Check the load order for errors with xEdit.exe before generating LOD. Fix all errors. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr7pz4JGSEM for help.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: Duplicate FormID [xxx] in file [xx] xxx.esp

A: There is a plugin in the load order that duplicates an existing form id. Check the load order for errors with xEdit.exe before generating LOD. Fix all errors. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr7pz4JGSEM for help.

A: Often caused by a broken bashed patch. Use a newer Wrye Bash version to create the patch or do not use the merge patches option.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: FormID [xxx] references a master which is not available in file [xx] xxx.esp

A: There is a plugin in the load order with errors. Check the load order for errors with xEdit.exe before generating LOD. Fix all errors. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr7pz4JGSEM for help.

A: Often caused by a broken Bashed Patch. Use a newer Wrye Bash version to create the patch or do not use the merge patches option.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: Found a reference, expected for New Texture: TXST

A: There is a plugin in the load order with errors. Check the load order for errors with xEdit.exe before generating LOD. Fix all errors. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr7pz4JGSEM for help.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: Can not copy xxxx from xxxx.esp into xxx.esp

A: Often caused by a broken bashed patch. Use a newer Wrye Bash version to create the patch or do not use the merge patches option.

A: There is a plugin in the load order with errors. Check the load order for errors with xEdit.exe before generating LOD. Fix all errors. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr7pz4JGSEM for help.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: Load order FileID [xx] can not be mapped to file FileID for file xxx.esp

A: There is a plugin in the load order with errors. Check the load order for errors with xEdit.exe before generating LOD. Fix all errors. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr7pz4JGSEM for help.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: Tree LOD: Error: Can not find tree LOD billboards required to create tree LOD

A: Always install the required vanilla tree LOD Billboards, then any optional LOD Billboards for tree mods in the load order. See the 'Requirements' section in the manual.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: Tree LOD and similar

A: Ignore, any messages about missing files for shrubs, fern, bushes etc. are normal. Typically billboards are only created for trees. Some world spaces do not have any trees.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: Note: textures\terrain\lodgen\skyrim.esm\treepineforest01_0001306d_n.dds normal map not found, using flat replacement

A: Ignore. A handful of trees can not have traditional tree LOD for technical reasons and will be done as static object LOD. Static object LOD uses the normal _n.dds textures, but LOD tree billboards do not have one so the flat replacement is used, just as traditional tree LOD does.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: Error [preparing|creating] textures for atlas: Error loading textures\*.dds: Not a valid DDS texture

A: The mentioned texture is corrupted and needs to be fixed or replaced. This sometimes seems to happen with specific MO2 versions under Windows 10, the exact cause is currently unknown.

A: Look up the texture path in MOs right window Data tab to find out which mod supplies it. Reinstall the textures from the mod, DynDOLOD Resources or TexGen output, whichever it is.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: Warning: Error when loading "meshes\*.nif": Not a valid NIF file

A: The mentioned NIF file is corrupted and needs to be fixed or replaced. This sometimes seems to happen with specific MO2 versions under Windows 10, the exact cause is currently unknown.

A: Look up the NIF path in MOs right window Data tab to find out which mod supplies it. Reinstall the NIF from the mod, DynDOLOD Resources, whichever it is.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe: FAILED loading DDS (80004005) *.dds / Error preparing textures for atlas: Error loading textures\*.dds: Executing TexConv returned error

A: The mentioned texture uses an unsupported format and needs to be converted or replaced.

A: See answers for Error preparing textures for atlas: Error loading textures\*.dds: Not a valid DDS texture

=======================================================================

Q: Game: Tree LOD: LOD trees do not match close-up full model trees

A: If the billboard tree LOD seems overly dark or bright, use the tree LOD brightness setting on the advanced options to account for lighting changes made by ENBs or weather mods.

A: Doublecheck billboards and billboard load order. Open console, click on full model tree to get form id like 000185C7. Lookup this FormID top left in xEdit, bringing up the tree reference in the right pane. Find the form id of the 'NAME - Base', like TreeAspen01 [TREE:0006A9E6]. Search in Textures\Terrain\LODGen\ subfolders for files with that number, like TreeAspen01_0006A9E6.dds and TreeAspen01_0006A9E6.txt. Replace files with correct versions.

A: The DynDOLOD log will print a detailed list for each tree which billboard (and 3D LOD model if applicable) it is using. Use the base form id like 0006A9E6 to easily find the entries in the log.

A: Find better matching billboards for the tree mods or create them. See this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFsIbCJWH_c

=======================================================================

Q: Game: Tree LOD: LOD trees textures cut off mid-way

A: The tree texture atlas like Textures\Terrain\Tamriel\Trees\TamrielTreeLod.dds does not belong to the generated tree LOD in Meshes\Terrain\Tamriel\Trees\*.*

A: Verify that the tree texture atlas Textures\Terrain\Tamriel\Trees\TamrielTreeLod.dds and the tree LOD in Meshes\Terrain\Tamriel\Trees\*.* are the ones from the DynDOLOD output folder and from the same LOD generation process and none of the files are overwritten by other mods.

=======================================================================

Q: Game: Tree LOD: LOD trees show in child worlds / towns

A: This is a game engine limitation. A mod added trees into the same area in the parent world. Either disable that mod when generating tree LOD, or add a XESP - Enable Parent to the player reference 0x00000014 to each tree in question. Tree LOD generation skips all trees with enable parents leaving them to be done as static object or dynamic LOD which don't have the limitation. See the section 'Custom Settings For Specific Mods - Mods that add trees to the same area as child worlds' in the ..DynDOLOD\Docs\DynDOLOD_Manual.html for more information and how to use DynDOLOD rules to address the issue.

=======================================================================

Q: Game: Tree LOD: LOD trees show in loaded cells

A: Make sure all plugins with ITM or deleted references are cleaned. See https://tes5edit.github.io/docs/5-mod-cleaning-and-error-checking.html

A: If the load order / priority of plugins adding or changing tree references was changed, generate tree LOD again so it matches the new load order.

=======================================================================

Q: DynDOLOD.exe / LODGen.exe: There were errors in one or more LODGen logs resulting in incomplete static object LOD

A: Check the mentioned log LODGen_[GAMEMODE]_[Worldspace]_log.txt for specific error message

A: The output path should be outside of the game folders and Mod Organizers virtual file structure. Set it to c:\output and try again.

A: Nif not found - Make sure the nif that is not found exists as loose file or in one of the loaded BSAs. Verify loaded BSAs in the loading messages of the DynDOLOD log. Turn off MOs archive management.

A: Rerun LODGen.exe for a specific worldspace by setting Expert=1 in ..DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_[GameMode].ini, select worldspace in drop down, click "Execute LODGen.exe" button

=======================================================================

Q: Game: Incomplete static object LOD / LODGen.exe crash

A: Make sure DynDOLOD Resources Core Files have been installed completely. Sometimes mod managers fail to download or unpack archives correctly. Use a better mod manager.

A: Make sure to use latest LODGen.exe version included in the standalone download.

A: The output path should be outside of the game folders and Mod Organizers virtual file structure. Set it to c:\output and try again.

A: Wait for all LODGen.exe processes to complete on their own. Close DynDOLOD.exe and save plugin once all LODGen processes finished.

A: Search the Official DynDOLOD Forum for the error message and possible disucssions and solutions.

A: If problem persists post error report with entire contents (not just the last couple lines) of ..\DynDOLOD\bugreport.txt (if it exists) and ..DynDOLOD\Logs\DynDOLOD_[GameMode]_log.txt and LODGen_[GAMEMODE]_[Worldspace]_log.txt or a screenshot of the error to the Official DynDOLOD Forum

=======================================================================

Q: Game: Rectangular holes in LOD

A: Caused by vanilla pre-computed occlusion. Has nothing to do with the LOD data itself. Either use xLODGen or DynDOLOD to update the data. See the 'TVDT - Occlusion Data' section in ..DynDOLOD\Docs\DynDOLOD_Manual.html and https://forum.step-project.com/topic/14250-skyrim-tvdt-occlusion-data/

=======================================================================

Q: LODGen.exe: Runs a long time / The LOD files generated are several GB in size

A: The selected configuration options require a lot of work. Do not manually close LODGen.exe. Wait for all processes to complete before closing DynDOLOD.

A: If there are more objects with LOD, it takes longer and creates larger files. If there are more triangles in the models used for LOD, it takes longer and creates larger files. If there are more triangles in the terrain meshes, it takes longer.

A: Do not use the experimental TreeFullFallBack setting without understanding what it does and what it is for.

=======================================================================

Q: Game: DynDOLOD requires SKSE

A: SKSE is not installed, outdated or not running at all.

A: Make sure you have the correct SKSE version for the current Skyrim version that is used and none of its file are overwritten by other mods.

A: Check the logs in c:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\[skyrim|Skyrim Special Edition|Skyrim VR]\SKSE\

=======================================================================

Q: Game: DynDOLOD requires PapyrusUtil

A: If the intention is to use DynDOLOD DLL, make sure the papyrus scripts from DynDOLOD DLL overwrite the papyrus scripts from DynDOLOD Resources.

A: PapyrusUtil is not installed, outdated or not running at all.

A: Make sure you have the correct PapyrusUtil version for the current Skyrim and SKSE versions that is used and none of its files are overwritten by other mods.

A: Check the c:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\[skyrim|Skyrim Special Edition|Skyrim VR]\SKSE\[skse|skse64].log that the PapyrusUtil DLL was loaded correctly.

=======================================================================

Q: Game: DynDOLOD requires DynDOLOD.DLL

A: If the intention is to use PapyrusUtil, make sure the papyrus scripts from DynDOLOD Resources are not overwritten by the papyrus scripts from DynDOLOD DLL. Do not install anything from DynDOLOD DLL.

A: The DynDOLOD.DLL is not installed into the correct games ..\Data\SKSE\Plugins folder, outdated or not running at all.

A: Make sure you have the correct DynDOLOD.DLL version for the current Skyrim and SKSE versions that is used and none of its files are overwritten by other mods. The DynDOLOD DLL papyrus scripts need to overwrite the papyrus scripts from DynDOLOD Resources which are for PapyrusUtil.

A: Check the c:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\[skyrim|Skyrim Special Edition|Skyrim VR]\SKSE\[skse|skse64|sksevr].log that the DynDOLOD.DLL was loaded correctly.

=======================================================================

Q: Game: DynDOLOD requires plugins generated with version x.xx or higher

A: Either the plugins were generated with an older standalone version or the papyrus scripts from DynDOLOD Resources / DynDOLOD DLL are the wrong version.

A: Make sure to generate LOD with DynDOLOD standalone version that has matching or higher version than DynDOLOD Resources / DynDOLOD DLL. Do not use DynDOLOD Resources / DynDOLOD DLL with higher version than version of DynDOLOD standalone.

A: Make sure the DynDOLOD Resources / DynDOLOD DLL version is high enough for the DynDOLOD standalone that is being used. For example plugins generated with DynDOLOD standalone 2.45 require DynDOLOD Resources 2.45 / DynDOLOD DLL 2.45

=======================================================================

Q: Game: DynDOLOD could not read DynDOLOD_Worlds / DynDOLOD can not read data for [worldspace name] from DynDOLOD_Worlds / DynDOLOD_Worlds does not belong to these DynDOLOD plugins / DynDOLOD can not read bunchofnumbers from DynDOLOD_[worldspace name] / DynDOLOD_[worldspace name] does not belong to these DynDOLOD plugins / DynDOLOD can not read index data from DynDOLOD_[worlspace name] / DynDOLOD can not find [worldspace name] in DynDOLOD_Worlds / DynDOLOD can not find master data in DynDOLOD_[worldspace name]

A: Make sure SKSE and DynDOLOD DLL or PapyrusUtil are installed correctly, see DynDOLOD requires DynDOLOD.DLL/PapyrusUtil above.

A: Make sure the *.[json|txt] data files in the SKSE subfolder of the DynDOLOD output and the DynDOLOD plugins are in sync from the same generation process. Check the DynDOLOD SkyUI MCM Information page in the game that all plugins and files have the same bunch of numbers.

A: Make sure the *.[json|txt] data files in the SKSE subfolder of the DynDOLOD output are in the load order and can be read. In case DynDOLOD DLL is used, check the c:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\[skyrim|Skyrim Special Edition|Skyrim VR]\SKSE\DynDOLOD.log for errors.

=======================================================================

Q: Game: ILS or CTD

A: More LOD uses more memory and this can cause infinite loading screen (ILS) or crash to desktop (CTD) if the game is not setup correctly. This should generally not be a problem with Skyrim Special Edition or Skyrim VR, but for Skyrim double check heap memory usage (block 1) with Memory Blocks Log from https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50471/ and adjust SKSE or SSME memory settings. Or use the alternative OSAllocator from crash fixes with pre-loader. Remove satefy-load if it is used. Setup ENBoost correctly. Set ExpandSystemMemoryX64=false in enblocal.ini.

A: Do not use the experimental TreeFullFallBack setting without understanding what it does and what it is for.

A: If heap memory is not the cause of CTD see ..DynDOLOD\Docs\DynDOLOD-README.txt for checking if a missing or invalid nif model used for dynamic LOD is the cause.

A: Large load orders with many plugins might surpass the reference handle cap. SSE Engine fixes prints a warning. See https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/ag4wm7/psa_the_reference_handle_cap_or_diagnosing_one_of/ Setting Temporary=1 in ..DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_[GameMode].ini may help in these situations, however converting large new land plugins to ESM is the preferred solution.

A: If there are problems saving in Skyrim Special Edition, install SSE Engine Fixes 4.8 or newer and set SaveGameMaxSize = true in the EngineFixes.ini. Alternatively add/set [saveGame] uiCompression=1 in Skyrim.INI to change from the default 2 for LZ4 to 1 for zlib compression. 0 means no compression like games are saved in Skyrim.

=======================================================================

Q: Game: Out of place objects / floating objects / flickering full models

A: If LOD was generated for a different load order generate LOD for the current load order.

A: Test with new game, wait in the exterior for the DynDOLOD initialized message before moving. If problem goes away, the updating of an existing save game with old DynDOLOD.esp went wrong. Follow instructions how to update save game with a new DynDOLOD.esp. RTFM, watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3zVK8PD3Vg&t=1752 or check DynDOLOD SkyUI MCM. The clean save routine can also be redone with the same plugin to reset everything.

A: If the load order had script lag and deactivating/activating from the DynDOLOD SkyUI MCM main page does not reset out of place objects, do the clean save routine where "old" and "new" plugin are the same. Consider generating less demanding dynamic LOD, see 'Performance' section in ..DynDOLOD\Docs\DynDOLOD_Manual.html

A: Wild edit added by a plugin. Check the DynDOLOD log for messages about wild edits. Use console in the game and click on object to retrieve the form id. Look up the form id in xEdit and remove the reference, clean plugin afterwards. Notify mod author. If object is added by DynDOLOD.esp, follow the "pluginname_formid" information found in the Editor ID of the reference to find the plugin from which this object originates.

A: Deleted record by a dirty plugin. Check the log for messages about deleted references by dirty plugins. Clean all UDRs and ITMs from dirty plugins.

A: Sometimes LOD objects are placed on top of other objects without LOD and thus appear to float in the distance. Use mesh rules so that the object has no LOD or that the other object also has LOD.

A: Game engine limitation. If the game enables objects that have static object LOD, the entire static object LOD for a cell may briefly show with the full models at the same time. Since now more objects have LOD this might be more obvious than before, especially while playing the intro. Consider installing the generated LOD mod after completing the intro.

A: If the problems is stuck object LOD in Whiterun after fast travel, change Distant Object Detail on the View Distance tab of the Advanced options of the games launcher from Ultra to High. Alternatively try just slightly changing the value fBlockLevel0Distance=60000 in SkyrimPrefs.ini to 57000.

A: Some mods are made with disregard to generating LOD or require updated rules and configs for best compability. This is especially true with mods modifying the walled cities. User are asked and welcome to provide feedback to href="the Official DynDOLOD Forum in order to get everything working with as much compatibiliy as possible. Include a link to the mod and screenshots about issues if possible.

A: Flickering textures (full and LOD model showing at the same time) in Skyrim Special Edition and Skyrim VR are caused by plugins triggering the large reference bugs as explained in ..DynDOLOD\Docs\DynDOLOD_Manual_SSE.html. Verify if the problem goes away by setting uLargeRefLODGridSize=5 in SkyrimPrefs.ini.

=======================================================================

Q: Game: Save game size

A: More LOD means more data. Dynamic LOD saves data and current state of several 10,000s of objects which equates to several MB. Data and current states are saved, so that the same work does not have to be done over and over again. Once all world spaces have been visited this is more less a one time increase.

 

A: DynDOLOD does not cause save bloat. It does not use the methods that cause save bloat. Never did. Consult forums with knowledgeable people that investigate, discuss and solve problems like the official support forum https://forum.step-project.com/forum/101-shesons-dyndolod-support/ 

=======================================================================

Q: Game: Script instances

A: Script instances are harmless. A script instance is just data for a script that is currently not active, so the script can execute more efficiently the next time it is active.

=======================================================================

Q: Game: Script errors

A: Make sure to use matching script and plugin versions

A: Save game update gone wrong. Test with new game, if successful, repeat clean save procedure.
