Is it just me or is the latest xlodgenwin64.exe extraordinary slow?

Usually dyndolod takes 25m but I aborted the run with v151 after 6 hours.

V152 seems to be the same (running atm).

Read the first post and/or https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which entire LODGen log and DynDOLOD log and debug log to upload when making posts.

Test with LODGenx64.exe instead by renaming or moving LODGenx64Win.exe

This is the log where I aborted v152 after waiting 1.5 hours

Test if installing the latest .NET 7 runtime makes a difference. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/7.0

If that makes no difference, test with LODGenx64.exe instead by deleting or moving LODGenx64Win.exe

Finished the build with lodgen64.exe without problems.

Thanks for the view of the Markarth suburbs from the city: https://ibb.co/6N5PLM0

[leostevano]

Sheson, the new alpha seems to take longer time to generate files. I have followed your suggestion to update .NET 7 runtime to the latest one, but it takes approximately 2 times longer than usual. I haven't tried to use Lodgenx64.exe though. But no issues other than that.

Here's my logs : https://ufile.io/uw3fk82o

[Mousetick]

Not a problem report. Yet more questions... I searched https://dyndolod.info/ and this topic before.

• Among the BTO meshes created by LODGen, some are "empty". When opened in NifSkope, they only contain one NiNode named 'obj[0]' with what appears to be all default property values. Is this normal, and if so, what is their purpose?
• When opening a BTO mesh in NifSkope, the textures contained in individual files are displayed correctly, but the textures from the object LOD atlas are seemingly not found (shown as purple), even though the atlas is in NifSkope's Resources path. Is this a limitation of NifSkope, or is there a trick to make it work?

Thanks.

Anyone knows where to get this missing file?

Ulvenwald does not seem to have it.

Yes, use the LODGenx64.exe for now by deleting or moving LODGenx64Win.exe.

Empty BTO happen because triangles are optimized away. Their purpose is to overwrite other (vanilla) files.

If a texture is purple, then doublecheck NifSkope can really find the texture.

Yes. It works fine. It was an ID10T error. Sorry.

I've experienced significantly increased LODGen processing times too with 3a152 compared to 3a150 and earlier. Tamriel took 41 minutes compared to 6.5 minutes (not apples to apples because I'm now combining several worldspaces for LOD).

After renaming LODGenx64Win.exe to fall back to LODGenx64.exe, processing time is back to normal (11.5 minutes).

[raging987inferno]

even after updating to .net 7 and removing lodgenx64win.exe my lod of literally everything is nonexistent. is there some setting im missing?

with version 150 i had no problem with my settings. now with 152 i have all the same stuff but no lod shows up in game.

I recently tried out DynDOLOD under Linux with Proton. I would like to know, what is the source of Texconv.exe and especially the x64-Version of it? I found the official repository, but this is missing the x64-Version.
