Read the first post which log and debug log to upload when making posts.
If there was a message window, use the "Copy this message to clipboard" link to copy and post the entire message as explained on the first post

As explained on the first post, search for and then actually do read older posts about the same problem. https://stepmodifications.org/forum/search/?q=cyrodiilfarmstucco02.dds&quick=1&type=forums_topic&nodes=223, the first post of  the search results says:
cyrodiilfarmstucco02.dds is part of Beyond Reach and the texture is required because arnima.esm is in the load order.
Read the next couple posts as well.

While there should be not need to ever unpack any BSA from unrelated mods, the message still tells you exactly what the problem is as explained in the contextual help that opens when clicking the "Click on this link for additional explanations and help for this message" in case there is a message pop-up.  Read this page https://dyndolod.info/Messages/File-Not-Found-Textures, especially if you believe the mentioned file exists at the mentioned location of the games data folder that is used by the tool.  The file either really does not exist wherever the tool is looking for it, or the tool is prevented from file access by the OS.

Is there any specific reason to not update to the latest version?

Ignore or change the name of the script in Xedit to ccbssse038_assassinenableonattachscript.pex?

Sure why not. That script has matching properties.

Thanks Sheson, I got it figured out last night! I started with a Wabajack list that I then did a fair bit of tweaking to, and didn’t realize the Update and Dawnguard esps were dirtier than a hooker’s thong! (It used a stock game folder rather than my own, and it would seem they never cleaned the ESPs.)

The reference number for xedit was useful, showing me that it was a deleted reference in the update records, which then matched up with some of the warnings in the summary page, and I went ahead and cleaned anything mentioned there, and then it went smooth like butter. Thanks again for the amazing tool!

I do have an additional, separate question regarding Grass LOD. Been a huge fan and using it since it’s introduction and I’ve had success with consistent color and visuals, depending on ENB and grass mod, usually doing better with green tundra. I had taken a break for a bit, but have now come back and seen the introduction of the HD grass, which it appears is meant to be used with the complex grass textures. Does this work with ALL complex grass textures? Because I’ve seen varying information and I remember initially, it was recommended NOT to cache grass or run DynDOLOD w/ these textures. Even on the complex grass compendium, this message still appears:

 

“Do not use these textures for lod generating / grass caching, or you gonna have blue foliage in the far distant. (just uncheck any complex grass patch mod before starting generating lod textures or grass cache)”

 

Just wondering what your thoughts are, and if there are exceptions to the rule, and also how much more of a hit one could expect if using the complex textures for generation over plain grass. (Also, does the cache need to be redone as well? Or is it enough just to use the new complex textures and start from TexGen?)

Ignore every and all 3rd party instructions and older posts regarding anything DynDOLOD. They are categorically wrong and outdated and in case of issues the actual cause might be assumed wrong resulting in weird/wrong/unnecessary workarounds instead of proper fixes to the tools, configurations+settings or mods.

See https://dyndolod.info/Changelog
Version 3.00 Alpha 87
TexGen.exe - added support for ENB complex grass combined diffuse/normal map textures

https://dyndolod.info/Help/TexGen
TexGen supports ENB complex grass textures.

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Grass-LOD
TexGen supports generating HD grass LOD billboards using ENB complex grass textures
Note that HD Grass LOD billboards for ENB complex grass use double the triangles, so in case performance is of concern, use half the density.

Alpha 87 came out April 4, 2022, which means since then grass LOD billboards made with complex grass texture do not have any blue foliage as the complex textures are correctly split into diffuse and normal map. The nexus page you are quoting has an original upload date of April 30, 2022, so the message has been always wrong. I even made a comment May 26, 2022.

I'm getting an OpenGL error when using the DynDOLOD application. It runs for a bit but then the main window says "invalid operation". However, the separate console window continues on going. 

A search has already been undertaken HOWEVER, AMD no longer supply the version of driver stated earlier. The recommend one is now version 22.11.2 which is WHQL signed. This driver appears to not function correctly with the application.

I've attached the relevant information. The debug log was too big to upload here, even zipped, so a link has been provided.
