I know this is similar to a post from 2019, but I'm having a very similar issue. I've used DynDOLOD successfully many times before but as of recently updating my 1.5.97 Skyrim SE to 1.6.640, I'm having an issue with DynDOLOD in-game. I followed GamerPoets video step by step multiple times but the issue still persists where I start a new game after running TexGen and DynDOLOD, activating the .esm and .esps in MO2, and when I load an exterior cell, there is no "DynDOLOD successfully initialized" message nor is there any DynDOLOD in MCM. However, the LODs from tree mods and new locations load in correctly.

I've read a couple Reddit posts about this along with the other similar post on this forum related to this issue and can confirm that I have troubleshot and verified the following:

-SKSE 64 v2.2.3 installed for game version 1.6.640

-PapyrusUtil installed

-SKYUI installed

-RaceMenu installed

-SSEEdit shows 2 quests in DynDOLOD.esp

-SHESON_DynDOLOD_Alias.pex, SHESON_DynDOLOD_Quest.pex and SHESON_DynDOLOD_MCM.pex scripts are installed

-Installed correct version of DynDOLOD DLL that corresponds to 1.6.640

-DynDOLOD_Output activated in MO2 along with DynDOLOD.esm, DynDOLOD.esp, and Occlusion.esp

-Mod list order (left side): DynDOLOD Resources SE -> DynDOLOD DLL - Scripts -> DynDOLOD DLL - DLL -> TexGen Output -> DynDOLOD Output

-Verified Generate DynDOLOD in the advanced options was checked

-Waited 20 minutes after new game and still no message appeared

I apologize for the long list, I just wanted to go ahead and throw out everything that I have checked and verified up to this point. I have tried to check the Papyrus log as well, as was mentioned in the other post. However, this has proven to be another issue entirely. I modified the [Papyrus] section of Skyrim.ini to enable logging, but after several times in-game, I still haven't had the logs folder appear in Docs->My Games->Skyrim Special Edition. I was able to check the DynDOLOD.log in Docs->My Games->Skyrim Special Edition->SKSE and it says:

"DynDOLOD Plugin 2.45.0 for Skyrim Script Extender 64 2.2.2 for Skyrim Special Edition 1.6.640.0"

Would I be correct in assuming that switching from SKSE v2.2.3 to 2.2.2 would solve the issue because of this log?

Again, I apologize for the lengthy post, I just want to make it clear that I have tried multiple things to fix this issue and have had no luck at all. Is this something simple that I am overlooking? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if I should provide screenshots Thanks!

Ok, after having followed the instructions to properly update my TexGen and DynDOLOD, the only slight issue I'm having currently is that DynDOLOD is not appearing with it's MCM menu in game.

Moved to a thread with the same type of problem, which can be found by search the forum as explained in https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Use-Search

Read https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which DynDOLOD log and debug log to uploaded when making posts. Also upload the papyrus logs.

The game is not loading the plugin.
Make sure it is installed and enabled ion the mod manager.
Make sure to install BEES in case plugins with version 1.71 are in the load order. There might a log message reporting this. Also see posts above.

https://dyndolod.info/Mods/Skyrim-Special-Edition-Skyrim-Anniversary-Edition
Starting with runtime 1.6.1130 there can be game plugins of version 1.71. If such plugins are used in older runtime versions, Backported Extended ESL Support is required for those plugins and the DynDOLOD and Occlusion plugins to be loaded by the game. Pay attention to the DynDOLOD log messages and list of plugins.

Keep in mind that Skyrim VR does not support *.ESL or ESL flagged plugins by default. In case skyrimvresl.dll from Skyrim VR ESL Support is detected in the in the load order, ESL support is activated automatically.

SSE .1170 DynDOLOD Alpha-51

In basic terms, how can I be sure DynDOLOD is running in the game?

There is no DynDOLOD MCM menu, although I have about 100 other mods that do show up in MCM.  I've started a new game, been through multiple saves, tried waiting indoors for 7 days then going outdoors, etc.

Thanks!

Moved to the appropriate thread for the error message. Use search as explained in https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Use-Search

https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions#2-Generate-The-LOD-Mod-with-DynDOLOD
Launch the game via skse[64|vr]_loader.exe. Start a new game or load a (clean) save game that was made in an interior and exit to an exterior worldspace for which LOD was generated. Wait for the onscreen message 'DynDOLOD successfully initialized' and/or check the DynDOLOD SkyUI MCM Main page for the last message.

https://dyndolod.info/Help/DynDOLOD-DLL#Troubleshooting
Make sure that the DynDOLOD DLL papyrus scripts really overwrite the ones in DynDOLOD Resources.
Make sure that nothing else overwrites the DynDOLOD DLL papyrus scripts.
In case of in-game issues or messages, check the DynDOLOD FAQ.
Test if the problem exists in a new game (coc whiterun from console in main menu for example).
Check the papyrus log and c:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\My Games\[Skyrim|Skyrim Special Edition|Skyrim VR]\SKSE\DynDOLOD.log for error or clues.
If the problem persists make a post on the official DynDOLOD support forum.

Read https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs. Upload the DynDOLOD log, debug log and the papyrus log as explained.

If you have you the same problem the same answers apply.
I suggest to read the parts about what can be checked or done about the game not loading plugins and which logs to upload when making posts.
Click and read the link https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs already provided once or twice in the posts above.

The plugins Treescale.esm and Requiem - Sacrosanct Patch.esp are of and invalid version, which gets get carried forward into the plugins DynDOLOD creates, e.g. DynDOLOD.esm, DynDOLOD.esp, Occlusion.esp.

Use xEdit to change the version in the header of all these plugins to 1.71

That fixed it, thank you!
