Hm, seems that DynDOLOD is not working as supposed to with Alpha-70.
I know how long it takes normally until finished. On my end it is about 45-60 minutes.
At the moment a run is ongoing, but it seems, that the process won't finish. It's lasting 1 hour and 40 minutes now without any progress. The process itself is not stuck, though, but this never happened before.
Is it possible that somehow the installation messed up? I just changed the .exe files and corresponding files instead of deleting the old files. Or could this be something else? I've gotten no errors until now so I can't provide any bugreport.logs, just the normal logs. If I would force kill the process now, could you make use of the generated logs?

Edit: I just killed it now and reinstall and start over. Never the less, here are the logfiles from that run, in case there is in error: Download

Keep an eye on memory usage and maybe set OcclusionMaxThreadsObjectLOD=1 in the DynDOLOD INI as explained on  https://dyndolod.info/Help/Occlusion-Data

I think I will set that value automatically if Grass LOD is generated as well.

'Memory comsumption' was normal as with every other alpha version before (between 7 to 8 GB). Maybe I did messed up with just copying the new files.

I'll check the ini setting you mentioned if my second run also doesn't finish correctly. I never changed this value, was using the default setting all the time.

I moved your post to the the DynDOLOD 3 Alpha thread.

If you look at a few of the posts above, then you will see that Alpha-70 should fix that problem.

In case it doesn't, upload the log and debug log as explained in the first post.

Yep, that fixed it, thanks a lot.

It been nearly 2 hours and DynDOLOD hasn't even finished I know DynDOLOD takes awhile but it usually done in about 45 mins for me not 2 hours.

Having an issue with TexGen that's just started now with Alpha 70 (Alpha 69 and lower all work well):

[Main Instruction]
Texconv error 80070002.

It's always happening on a different billboard though, but always very late in the process. This is another example, on a successive run.

I have tried disabling Windows Defender, adding more rules, but nothing fixes it. Reverting to an older version of DynDOLOD, as I mentioned above, works without fail (tried 69, 68 and 66).

Yes, I think something "broke" Occlusion generation reading object LOD meshes so it takes forever. Will be fixed in Alpha-71 ASAP.

There is really nothing a program (in this case both TexConv can do about the OS or antivir  denying write access. I mean if a program could circumvent it it would be malicious.

Texconv.exe didn't change since December. The way TexGen uses to build convert textures did not change since Alpha-66.

If the same setup and paths work with Alpha-66 to Alpha-69 I can not really suggest anything else but to hope the next version has different byte code again so it won't trigger anything.

No need. Thanks.

Will post an update re: behavior on the next Alpha. Thanks.

Thank you, just started a new generation cycle.

Edit: Everything is working now.

Tried TexGen again with Alpha 71. The only difference is that it now fails much faster than before (within the first 30s). Same error, different billboard each time.

EDIT: Replaced TexGenx64.exe from A71 with the one from A69, and the issue goes away.

Out of curiosity try this:

Check what happens if you unpack DynDOLOD into C:\DynDOLOD\ and start it from there.

Generate to the default output folder inside the c:\DynDOLOD\ folder

Start TexGen with -T:"C:\DynDOLOD\temp\" command line argument to set a custom temp path.

Do you have any 3rd party crapware from AMD running that install with the driver installation?

See if anything behaves differently with newer Alpha versions.

TexGen_SSE_realtime_log.txtsame behavior, worst case scenario I'd do a clean install....which I would rather not do atm.

Is there somewhere I can obtain the archived versions. Tex Gen has been giving me the same headache. TexGen crashes after roughly 30 secondes with a different billboard each time. I've also verified that the billboards are installed, and they are. I was not having this issue on Alpha 69. However, I no longer have the download for Alpha 69.
