DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 180

The actual error is that the plugin is too high for a record to be copied into the DynDOLOD.esm. Which is correct, since Bittercup - Tweaks and Enhancements.esp is not a master file. It is a safeguard check to make sure nothing goes wrong. Will be fixed next alpha version.

I see. Do you think it is safe to ESMify this mod in this case or would that not be a good idea?

Just wait for the next alpha version.

Alright. Thank you for the help!

Hello Sheson,

I'm trying to generate Object, Grass and Tree LOD for my modlist. I'm running into some issues currently:

I have generated Terrain LOD with the latest version of SSE-Edit (I didn't use the latest beta of xLODGEN, let me know if it matters for this)

I have generated textures with TEXGEN (With Stitched Object LOD Textures, Rendered Object LOD Textures HD Grass, Trees, HD Trees and Rendered enabled)

I have generated a Grass Cache with NGIO

I am trying to generate LOD with DynDOLOD but this is where I am running into some problems:

I am running it with a High preset with most settings enabled

When I try to run with all worldspaces enabled, it never quites finishes. I originally thought that it hung but I learned later that it probably wasn't. I was also originally running these programs from a subdirectory of MO, so I moved it out and disabled my Antivirus and it seems to get further but I am running into some other issue now. When I am trying to generate LOD for Tamriel alone, Occlusion happens relatively quickly but then It says it errors out but there is no error in the log.

I included the log files from DynDOLOD. Let me know if you need anything else and thank you for all that you do!

The google links just show LODGen_SSE_Tamriel_WIN_log.txt and LODGen_SSE_Tamriel_log.txt and no DynDOLOD log, debug log.

In any case read https://dyndolod.info/FAQ "Long running time or output several GB in file size" and "High memory usage / Out of memory",  especially these:
If too many concurrent LODGen processes running at the same time consume all available memory while generating seasons, limit their number per worldspace by changing the MaxLODGenPerWorldspace setting in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_[GAME MODE].INI.
If too many concurrent LODGen processes running at the same time consume all available memory, limit their total number by changing the MaxLODGen setting in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_[GAME MODE].INI.
If a single LODGen process uses a lot of memory, set LODGenThreadSplit in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_[GAME MODE].INI to a higher number. Set to the number of virtual cores for lowest possible memory usage. Since terrain LOD meshes are used to optimize object LOD, consider not enabling high resolution terrain LOD meshes (so it uses vanilla terrain meshes) while generating object LOD.

Thanks a lot for your reply!

Oops wrong links sorry:

I did read the part about the memory, and I'm ok with high memory usage and waiting. Usually memory usage is about max for me (90%+) but the cpu usage usually is under 15% which is what I'm confused about a little bit. It seems to me that something is preventing it from running as fast as it could, is this cpu usage normal? And do you have any other suggestions for what I could try?

There is most likely memory trashing. You have too many LODGens with too many threads and not enough memory for them all.

That is why you need to limit the amount of concurrent LODGens and most likely more importantly should change the threadsplit.

Keep in mind, you are generating grass LOD with LOD density 100% (and whatever full grass density), ultra tree LOD etc. times 5 for the different seasons. It will take a "while".

[MinhazMurks]

Ok great, I will change these settings, thanks again for getting back to me! I am willing to wait long, I'm ok with leaving it for even multiple days if necessary I just want to make sure it's doing it optimally

Helloooooo! 
Does anyone know any workarounds for generating LOD through DynDOLOD with the new 7900XT graphics card? 
As suggested, AMD Adrenalin Driver 22.5.1 is unsupported for this specific GPU, as it will not even install. I continually receive the OpenGL Invalid Operation error with this graphics card, but it did work when I had a Strix 3080.

You already solved my problem when someone else made a post with the same error on a 7900XTX. 

You uploaded a stitched.frag file which I used to successfully use Dyndolod on the latest Adrenalin driver.

As explained on the first post, always use the latest alpha version. Do not waste time using older versions or reporting problems with older versions.

https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum
Always use the latest DynDOLOD Standalone and DynDOLOD Resources version. Bugs and other problems may already be fixed or addressed.

https://dyndolod.info/Changelog
Version 3.00 Alpha 107
TexGen.exe - fixed stitched.frag compile error

Because you are refusing to upload the log and debug log, it is unclear what version you are using. It sounds like you are probably still using a long outdated version with other bugs and only updated the stitched.frag. If you are using the latest version and still needed that file, then something else might be wrong.

Hello Sheson!

I am getting this error: 

LODGenx64Win.exe returned C0000005

LODGenx64Win.exe failed to generate object LOD for one or more worlds

I saw that this error may be associated with c++ redistributable but i already downloaded the required ones and even repaired them. I also downloaded .net runtime 6.0. It's weird because it got past this point in a previous run but now it's getting stuck. One thing to note, I did debloat my nvidia drivers (uninstalled geforce experience but i have the latest GeForce Game Ready Driver 528.02 2023.1.5). Let me know if you need anything else.

Here are my log files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Pivtg1mWVJlWjI1CAOBemTqIjV6RDyEk/view?usp=share_link

If happening randomly can be a sign of hardware issues like CPU or memory being unstable.

You can use expert mode and just rerun by usingt he button "Execute LODGen" for the Tamriel worldspace. See https://dyndolod.info/Help/LODGen,

Keep an eye on memory usage of the LODGenx64Win.exe in task manager. It may be because you set LODGenThreadSplit=24 in the DynDOLOD_SSE.INI. Try 0, 2, 4 or 8. Maybe 12. If you use expert mode and "Execute LODGen", set ThreadSplit= in ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\Export\LODGen_SSE_Export_Tamriel.txt directly.

Test if it works when using LODGenx64.exe. To do that simply hide LODGenx64Win.exe. When you start DynDOLOD it should show that it uses the fallback as explained at top of https://dyndolod.info/Help/LODGen

[MinhazMurks]

Thanks again for your reply! I will lower the LODGenThreadSplit to 8.

Ok I will hide LODGen64Win.exe but I could've swore it was already using LODGenx64.exe based on the cmd window title... But I may be remembering wrong so I will try this. I'll let you know what happens!
