Still generates a few billboards and then hangs unfortunately. This time TexGen remained responsive for me to use the close dialogue, but after this it stayed frozen in the background so I still had to kill it manually. It output the regular logs this time but no bugreport.txt: https://www.mediafire.com/file/4sljdouluz0yme1/texgenlogs.zip/file

Monitoring resource usage shows that upon the freeze gpu usage flatlines and vram usage stays constant, cpu usage stays at 100% on both cores until I kill the program.

I uploaded a new test version to try. Report results.
In case it still exhibits the problem, check if there are any texconv processes still lingering around. Verify that setting Locktexconv=1 still makes a difference.

Re-ran Dyndolod. Hopefully these are the right ones!

Dyndolod Log

Bugreport

The logs show you are starting DynDOLOD and then closing it without starting LOD generation.

https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions#2-Generate-The-LOD-Patch-Mod-with-DynDOLOD:
If in wizard mode, start LOD generation by clicking one of the Low, Medium or High buttons. If in advanced mode, select options as desired and start LOD generation by clicking the OK button.

Does it not show the wizard options window? https://dyndolod.info/Help/Wizard-Mode

Moved to the DynDOLOD alpha thread. See 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 with more informative console of the full model as explained in https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#In-Game-Screenshots

https://dyndolod.info/FAQ#Object-LOD-model-and-full-model-show-at-the-same-time-causing-texture-flicker. Looks like this answer applies:
DynDOLOD does not change how the engine and how LOD works. When new cells attach, first it loads the full models, then unloads object LOD. For that brief time both models show and there can be texture flicker. The more things the game has to load when new cells attach and the more system resources are strained the longer it takes to load full models and to unload object LOD.

This exegerrated if object LOD uses the full model (or LOD models with very similar 3D) for LOD and for non large references that switch closer to the player character. See the answer FAQ answers as well.

Here's the results from test version dated 1/26/2026 13:12 

Double check the shader files in C:\Modding\Tools\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\shaders\ are from the release version.

Please repeat the test with UseMipmaps=0 under [DynDOLOD] in C:\Modding\Tools\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD_SSE.ini and upload the new *.dds files.

Then repeat with adding GLAlphaCoverage=0 and upload those *.dds two.

To clarify, you want me to try UseMipmaps=0 in test 1 and then try GLAlphaCoverage=0 in test 2. For test 2, do you want UseMipmaps=0 commented or enabled?

In that case test what happens if you only disable Occlusion.esp.
That should not change anything so continue with disabling the DynDOLOD.esp.
If nothing changes, also disable the DynDOLOD.esm.
In case there still is no change, hide/rename the meshes folder from the DynDOLOD output.
Report results.

I tested it and now the Problem seems to persist even if I disable DyndolodOutput. Seems like it's problem with different mod, that just randomly disappeared before. I'll look to find the broken mesh on my own. Sorry for false issue report.

Using the latest Test Versions (Jan 27), no *.dds were generated in the output for test 1. I will pause here until you affirm before continuing.

Also, yes. the shaders I have are from the 198 release version and dated 1/2/2026.

Here's the logs just in case.

Do one, than the other. Shouldn't really matter though

Looks like you changed the texture treepineforestbranchcomp.dds. Restore the 8k one from the mod that has CRC32 110FD4A4

I figured out why my Dyndolod was stopping prematurely! I checked my Windows Event Log and it showed that my Nvidia drivers were crashing during the dyndolod process. I updated my drivers and dyndolod ran without a hitch and displayed no errors! Thank you for helping me and looking at my logs! I apologize if I took undue amounts of your time!
