DynDOLOD Resources SE version information not found

[jjensson]

I have a big issue. Everything is installed properly, i've read all the precautions and rules around the new versions, but still i'm getting:

"DynDOLOD Resources SE version information not found"

With another modlist, the previous version did run after i set the needed exceptions in Windows Defender, but with this modlist even the previous version doesn't want to run. Here's what i know and tried:

 

1) Everything, including Steam, is installed on drive Q:, a dedicated gaming drive - and my SkyrimSE is a legal version (1.5.97)

2) The arguments in MO2 are set properly by the modlist: -sse -C:"Q:\Elysium\Stock Game\Data"

3) I don't use an Anti-Virus program

4) I did set all exceptions in Windows Defender for files AND folders (including DynDOLODx64.exe, TexGenx64.exe, Texconvx64.exe, LODGenx64.exe)

5) tried with Windows Defender completely disabled

6) DynDOLOD and Resources SE are the newest versions

7) tried running MO2 in admin mode

8) LODGenx64 and TexGenx64 run through without problems, and generate proper output as far as i can tell

9) DynDOLOD Resources SE version information is located properly in Q:\Elysium\mods\DynDOLOD Resources SE\Meshes\DynDOLOD\lod\version.ini - it says Version=3.00

 

I'm completely helpless and can't find anything on Google either. Any ideas what else i could try?

I have ran TexGen & DynDOLOD multiple times in the past week and it's been completely fine even when I moved my SSE game root folder outside of steam and changed the registry keys for it's path so the rest of the softwares could work properly. However, all of a sudden after trying to run DynDOLOD it just shows up with "DynDOLOD Resources SE version information not found." and the log does also print that it's searching in my previous game root path which it shouldn't . TexGen works fine btw.

Help very much appreciated.

I'm at my wits end with this one.

Been following this guide here:

I got to the part where I'm supposed to run DynDOLOD but it won't work. I'm using DynDOLOD 3 Alpha

I have DynDOLOD Resources SE 3.00 installed through Vortex. But when I try to activate DynDOLOD either through Vortex or outside the mod manager it just gives me an error. I've tried reinstalling the resource folder and moving it to different folders, either in the DynDOLOD folder itself or manually into the Skyrim folder but it still won't recognize it.

I have Skyrim installed outside of the Program Files folder on a different drive.

Any help would be appreciated.

For those with this bug, it seems the solution is as dumb as it looks:

If you recently downgraded Skyrim using NGIO for the Grass Cache, you have to change your skyrim path again to the non stock one in MO2. It even says so in the step grass lod guide (revert changes to your skyrim).
This also explains why my xLODGEN suddenly takes 10 min to generate and not 35 min and why my Texgen refused to use HD Grass, and why Dyndolod couldn't find the appropriate version. It points to the wrong game!

From https://dyndolod.info/Help/DynDOLOD-Resources#Troubleshooting after clicking "Click on this link for additional explanations and help for this message":
Verify that the correct game data folder is being used for the checks. Check the top of the log messages that the tools are started in the desired game mode and check that the correct game data path was found in the Windows registry key. For example:
Using Skyrim Special Edition Data Path: C:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\

(Temporarily) downgrading the game exe in order to generate grass cache should not require to change the game data path. Grass cache generation should be using the same game plugins and BSA files as the final load order. That is off topic to DynDOLOD support however.

Thank you. I tried downgrading the game while keeping my modlist but even after downgrading and using 1.5.97 engine mods like SKSE, the game would start and crash during the menu for no apparent reason. So I couldn't fix it and generate grass cache through this method.

So I use the different profile and MO2 instance method with a stock game, and ported the huge DLC mods over. I'm not sure if that's enough. I found this guide that recommended as such: https://github.com/The-Animonculory/Modding-Resources/blob/main/Grass Lods.md

This is off-topic and has nothing to do with DynDOLOD.

A proper setup to easily switch between 1.5 and 1.6 profile should use the MO2 root plugin.
Only DLL plugins absolutely required need to be installed in their correct version - .Net Framework and then NGIO, SSE Engine FIxes for example.
DLL plugins that are not required for fixes/stability should be deactivated in the 1.5 profile.
Mods consisting game plugins should stay the same version just as the game plugins and assets.

Hey, I'm getting this error when I use DynDOLOD. TexGen runs fine. I deleted all my mods and I still can't fix it.

DynDOLOD is running the correct version of Skyrim.

You are using DynDOLOD 2 with DynDOLOD Resources 3. Install DynDOLOD 3 Alpha 128 and read the OP carefully for correct versions of files and what to include in posts for help.

Texgen works fine. I am able to zip and exit no problem. When I run Dyn however, the popup I mentioned in the title comes up. I have dydnolod v3.0 alpha-155 installed and dyn resources v3.0 alpha-45 installed and activated in MO2. I am using a wabbajack with its own game root. My original game directory is installed on the ssd c drive. Idk what is going on. Ive ran tex gen and dyn many times before with no issue. Anyone have similar experiences? thanks
