DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 196

[Chereb]

Hello everyone. I want to thank the author of Dyndolod for creating a wonderful program that makes Skyrim much more beautiful. I have a question about the LOD generation for glowing windows. The further you move from a building with glowing windows, the more their LOD becomes distorted. The windows become visible through the city wall and the walls of other buildings. This effect is present in all cities, and it's very frustrating. Is there a way to fix this bug? Here's what it looks like in Whiterun.

This already happens in the vanilla game. This is how decals work in this game which is used so they do not z-fight / flicker. You can unset the decal flag in selected glow_lod NIFs to see if you like the result better. Moss, wall corners etc. especially on large references suffer the same problem.

I see. Thank you very much for your reply. That means I have nothing to worry about and it's not a LOD generation bug.

I have downloaded the most recent alpha version, yet it still tells me it is several months old and outdated. Is there a newer version that I am not finding?

Just fired up Dyndolod to do some updates when it gave me this message

[Window Title]
TexGenx64.exe

[Main Instruction]
This shared free alpha version of Texgenx64 is several months old and long outdated.

I then proceeded to grab the most recent version, deleted out the old files (making sure the directory was clean), and installed.  It then gave me a 

Error: OpenGL: no wglCreateContextAttribsARB? And then Texgen will not continue and wants to be closed out.

(if the files don't come through on the upload you can find them at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jg6-WUP4Ws1BvQ2N1Vb7zzFAqiHpkC4A/view?usp=sharing 

and https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZiREoB0Anv9N8wjRKmUHZOnC7ON8oOC1/view?usp=sharing

 

Graphic card is a 9070xt running Drivers 25.11.1 and were released on 11-6-2025

Only software being run with it is the default AMD experience Software (so no bloatware)

(EDIT) I rolled back to version 25.10.2 of the AMD drivers and the problem was resolved.  I noticed that the 25.10.2 driver plainly displayed the Open GL version that was installed...while 25.11.1 did not.
