DynDOLOD Beta for Skyrim Special Edition, Skyrim VR and Enderal SE 2.98

[Cycnus]

I've never ever used DynDOLOD, the only one I've ever installed was the latest 2.54 Beta. I swear the only plugin I have in my list is the ESP generated using 2.54 Beta. Here's my DynDOLOD log with the versions I used to generate the ESP.
 
[00:00:05.426]     DynDOLOD Worlds 2.54 (1) using TES5VRLODGen by Ehamloptiran, Sheson and Zilav, starting...
[00:00:05.463] DynDOLODx64.exe 2.54.0.0 2018-11-28 (1300008640)
[00:00:05.472] LODGenx64.exe 2.5.2.0 2018-11-22 (1299615328)
 
I can send you the ESP, or anything you think might be helpful.

Tried a new save initially, no go, re-generated the ESP once more, VOILA. Not sure what happened during the initial ESP build, in any case, it's successfully loaded now, thanks.

bEnableStippleFade=0 in [Display] in Skyrim.ini should do it. Pretty sure its Skyrim.ini instead of Prefs but maybe try both.

Thanks, but it looks like turning it off is worse. It doesn't behave like LE. Instead the billboard pops out (disappears) before the 3D mesh pops in. There's a pretty noticeable gap where there's nothing there.

Yes

Do you have any plans on looking into the patch? Also should I just run my DynDOLOD without patching Lanterns of Skyrim for now?

The DynDOLOD Patches are for Skyrim and are working fine AFAIK. You may want to make sure you have latest version of the DynDOLOD Patches. They might work for Skyrim SE as well, but I do not support that at the moment.

Is there a changelog for the new 2.54 resource files, or did you just match the version numbers?

Just unfold Changelog DynDOLOD 2.54 on first post.

Getting "Fatal: Could not open registry key: \SOFTWARE\Bethesda Softworks\Skyrim\"

 

I did try rerunning the Skyrim SE launcher via steam and launching the game after the recent update, but I have no idea what to do about this error message. What does it mean by "Verify game is starting in the desired game mode"? Does it think I'm running VR?

 

Nevermind, need to pass "-sse" argument so it looks for Special Edition instead of LE

Install a better matching billboard or create your own. The log will show the path and filename of the billboard texture.

 

The way LOD works and it transitions is hardcoded into the engine. AFAIK there are no INI settings that can change that.

I finally realized what it was. It was the Lightweight Grass Overhaul mod. I didn't realize it until I checked for mod updates and saw the changelog for it. Author had accidentally included his LODGEN files for the PineTrees which are the exact trees I had issues with.

 

I really miss that MO2 can't check for conflicts in BSA files. If this was MO1, I would have spotted this. But since MO2 doesn't look inside BSA files and I was using vanilla trees, I never realized this unintentional conflict by the LWGO author existed.

Press Ctrl+F3 in xEdit to open Assets Browser and look for a file, it will show in which containers (BSA and Data folder) this file is contained.

Typically billboard downloads come as loose files. The LOD generated by DynDOLOD is loose files. Loose files win over files in BSA.

 

MO has a data tab that shows the winning loose files and from which mod they are. For everything else there is the well known xEdit Asset Browser Zilav already mentioned.

Hi sheson, Do you have any clue why with DynDOLOD enabled my racemenu paint section is all emptied? Removing DynDOLOD esp restore it back.

 

Also when I have it activated, I keep CTD every time I entered the load screen whenever I use the carriages to fast travel no matter where it is or where it goes the CTD always happened 3 around 3 secs after the load screen started.

If something does't work with racemenu my first guess would be memory problems.

 

In regards to CTD after fast travel - which I assume is not limited to fast travel by carriage only but any fast travel - is most likely due to a invalid or missing mesh. The FAQ entry about CTD points to specific troubleshooting  tips in the readme.

All the other options are working though, but not the body textures / overlay features. Any idea on how to fix it?

 

Fast travelling using console command doesn't give CTD, only by carriages and it's not after fast travelling but it happens when I hop on to the carriage and then the load screen shows up, 3 seconds later CTD. So it is not even completed yet. I've tested it, the papyrus log doesn't show up anything though regarding the CTD.
