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

Make a useful screenshot of the full model with more informative console as explained in https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#In-Game-Screenshots

https://dyndolod.info/FAQ#Something-does-not-have-LOD
For something to have LOD, a LOD model or a LOD Billboard is required to be installed in the load order. Check the ..\DynDOLOD\Logs\DynDOLOD_[GAME MODE]_Object_Report.txt to find which LOD models have been found and which models are used for LOD representation.
If a LOD model does not exist, mesh mask / reference rules can be used to use the full model for LOD.

Upload the mentioned DynDOLOD_SSE_Object_Report.txt as well.

Alright, here are all the logs when I reran TexGen and Dyndolod Just now: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uQM0IwiQn_dQyQXMq_J4Y9t7Y_WctjiU/view, And here's some screenshots of the area up close and when in LOD form. One of the LOD screenshots is with Dyndolod enabled, the other, it's disabled.

None of the used full models have LOD models. The vanilla game does not have LOD models nor did anybody ever create any AFAIK.
None of these objects are expected to have LOD representation.

You will need to add mesh mask / reference rules for them if you want these objects to have LOD. See https://dyndolod.info/Help/Mesh-Mask-Reference-Rules

For example, for this specific animated banner to have dynamic LOD:
Mesh Mask / Reference Form ID: Unmarked Locations Pack - All In One.esp;00061846
All flags unchecked
LOD 4, 8, 16, 32: None
Grid: Near LOD or Far LOD
Reference: Unchanged
If you want all animated banners of this type to have dynamic LOD, enter CivilWarBannerImp03.nif into the Mesh Mask / Reference Form ID field instead

For example, for this specific flag post to have static object LOD:
Mesh Mask / Reference Form ID: Unmarked Locations Pack - All In One.esp;000523F4
All flags unchecked
LOD 4: Full
LOD 8: Full or None
LOD 8, 16 32: None
Grid: Near LOD or Far LOD
Reference: Unchanged
If you want all the poles to have static object LOD using their full model, enter CivilWarBanner01.nif into the Mesh Mask / Reference Form ID field instead.

Sorry, there are many things I don't understand yet.

When LODGenx64 generates Tamriel lod.
This error always appears, and then LODGenx64 automatically closes.

The DynDOLOD log and debug you uploaded both show a "DynDOLOD Resources SE version information not found. Verify correct installation" message. See https://dyndolod.info/Help/DynDOLOD-Resources#Troubleshooting and https://stepmodifications.org/forum/topic/18695-dyndolod-resources-se-version-information-not-found

You need to close the tool properly so it can save the new log and debug log with messages about LODGen.

Curiosity Post, I am finding random moments within child cells like Solitude and Whiterun where I can go to a specific place and look in a certain direction that will being my game to a single like frame stutter mess until I turn from that direction and it goes up again.

Been testing for months and thinking it goes but it comes back. If I load straight into Solitude for instance no issues, if I jump about on the map and return to Solitude go to the point where I am looking at the windmill from the Black Smith for instance the stutter returns.

Now I thought I save at the point when I am witnessing this dramatic low frame situation and review the scripts.

I just need clarification that these scripts are ok.

What rudimentary troubleshooting have you done to determine the problem is related to the DynDOLOD output? https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Rudimentary-Troubleshooting

https://dyndolod.info/FAQ#Script-instances
Script instances are harmless. A script instance is just data for a script that is currently not active, so the script can execute more efficiently the next time it is active.
The scripts of DynDOLOD are not at all script intensive. There are no scripts that are constantly running. It uses small highly optimized papyrus scripts for dynamic LOD, which run in parallel only when needed at the moment dynamic LOD models are enabled or disabled.
Consider using the large reference bugs workarounds were all of the dynamic LOD is done in the DynDOLOD DLL NG instead of papyrus scripts.

But in my case, LODGen will definitely appear 80131506.
My RAM is 32G. The CPU is 5600, I even lowered his frequency to 4.0
But 80131506 still appears stably

And LODGen often freezes and stops working.
To be honest, I kind of wonder if there is something wrong with my PC, haha.

Make sure the memory is stable. Make sure the memory is stable like has correct settings in BIOS.

Test if using the .Net Framework version works better by deleting the LODGenx64Win.exe, so it uses the LODGenx64.exe instead.

Follow the linked advice about memory. https://dyndolod.info/Help/LODGen#Out-of-Memory and https://dyndolod.info/FAQ#High-memory-usage-Out-of-memory
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.

Hi I've been having strange issues with my Dyndolod - it seemingly stopped working out of nowhere. Lately, it will randomly close and very rarely give an error message.

The error messages I've gotten:
LODGENx64Win.exe failed to generate object LOD for one or more worlds (C0000005) or Access violation at address 0000...271D in module "dynDOLODx64.exe" 

Steps I've taken:

Reinstalled Dyndolod
Added windows defender exclusions to everything (I don't use any other antivirus software)
Repair, uninstall, reinstall, etc .net framework and Visual C++ Redistributable
Ran with all other background processes closed
Updated all my other drivers

I can run lodgen and texgen without any issues. It's just Dyndolod itself will fail.

Update: I had somebody else run DynDOLOD on my modlist on their PC and it worked fine for them, so I'm kind of at a loss on what it could be

Hi Sheson,thanks for your great mod

I want to ask ,is there any way to extend the distance of the large reference tree even further? 

At the moment, even with a large reference tree enable, switching back from LOD to native models is still too close.

Increase the large object distance in the launcher of the game. See https://dyndolod.info/Help/Large-References#Settings.

I am having some trouble with the "material names" feature again... This time, I can see in the debug log that the "sw-moss" LOD models appear to be found, but in the Object Report it is showing the default LOD model being used, and that is what ends up in the .bto files. For example 05007884 is a variant of rockL01, and the debug log shows these lines:

Yes, it's still there. I haven't moved or changed it since I first set it up.
