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

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

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

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

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).

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

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.

The CPU architecture is a Compiler setting.

Because you are not reporting the actual problem.

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Texconv
DynDOLOD includes a customized version of Texconv to convert different texture formats.
Do not replace Texconv with other versions.
