IRC, you also mentioned once that disabling autosaves on fast travel can cause this issue. I know it is a common advisement among many to disable autosaves completely.

Now that you mention it, I recall running into this issue a long time ago when I had completely disabled autosaves. This is the post that documents the findings on fast travel and Sheson's response.

Apparently, my issue with the access error or something is because the new Beyond Skyrim Bruma version deletes a cell in Tamriel. Disabling the file while running dyndo works but it is not a fix either. Hoping that it will get patched soon tho.

Problems can not be investigated or fixed if people do not upload log files and bugreport.txt as explained in the first post.

LOD generation runs through without a problem with Beyond Bruma 1.5.1 installed and enabled in the load order.

Hey sorry to bother you guys again, I just had a final question of something more obscure and I don't have time IRL to test on yet.
When you change the Top Grass RGB brightness values in DynDOLOD_SSE.ini do you need to regenerate TexGen or DynDOLOD each time? Or is this something that can be changed after generating a DynDOLOD_Output or Texgen file in some way?

Thank you as always, even if its just reading it.

The second post / ..\DynDOLOD3\docs\help\GrassLOD.html ""Updating" section explains how to update / test different settings.

Thank you! I'll read it on my plane ride, I really appreciate it, and sorry for making you repeat things you've told others.

Apology needed for inconveniencing Author and Mod Team with what is likely self-explanatory questions.

Hello Sir Sheson. First of all, thank you for your amazing work and for being so active and helpful. 

I recently restarted modding skyrim after a longer break and built my LO.
I've been using DyndoLod 2.0 for a long while and tried out 3.0 months ago without any issues. 


The problem came when I tried to run DYNDOLOD 3.0 (pre AE version, using Papyrus Logs) with Ultra Settings etc. 
My game would literally crash after launching either a new game or getting into an already existing save file. I tracked the crashes down to the Dyndolod.esp.
After a loooong while of constantly running dyndolod again and again. I came across an old post where you pretty much told the person to manually disable chunks of DYNDOLOD Output and check if it works. I did that and came across empty meshes (file size 235b, name of NiNode ''obj'') in the meshes/terrain/objects folder, which I disabled afterwards. No crashes happened afterwards. (Netscript Framework Crash Logs would also mention this mesh in the crash logs)



Do you perhaps know what type of mods could cause these types of meshes to be generated via dyndolod? I have never had this issue before.

(Here is my LO if u rly need it)

(Edit: NTOverhaul.esp is tree replacer and NTADDON.esp tree addon, NGOverhaul.esp is grass mashup)
 

With kind regards,
Noah

Edit: Actually scrap that.
I hid the whole meshes/terrain/tamriel/objects folder and not only these few meshes from the screenshot - and I'm still getting crashes...
So my stupid a## didn't fix anything and I hope I didn't waste your time when reading this.
I guess I will have to test more... Unfortunately, I can't get rid of my original post so I'm sorry 'bout that.

Wish you a nice day

Read the DynDOLOD FAQ and the DynDOLOD Readme how to troubleshoot CTD. Pay attention to the log messages, especially warning and errors about textures.

Read the first post what log files to upload when making reports. Include the LODGen log Tamriel, too. A load order includes all mods not just the list of plugins. Use modwatch if you want to provide that information.

If I had to guess it's the invalid texture from RedBag's Rorikstead.esp as discussed before.

1. Sorry. Next time (hopefully, a next time won't happen since dyndolod usually run perfectly fine for me) I will keep this in mind! 
2. Thank you SO MUCH! It fixed all my problems - I ran dyndolod without RedBag's Rorikstead.esp and I haven't experienced any CTD for 50 min now. Just shows how incompetent I was when trying to fix it myself. Such a simple and fast solution. <3

Temporarily disabling plugins or mods is a troubleshooting step. It does not fix errors / invalid textures.

The mod contains an invalid texture that needs to be updated. Either download the fix provided by the mod author (check the bug section) or remove the mod permanently.

Strange since I ran DynDOLOD on the same setup 5 days ago with no problem, on the new AE build. Is this related to the 1.6.323 update?

The out of memory message happens while testing the graphics card. This part did not really change in the past 10 alphas or so.

If there is more than one graphics card, it is supposed to use the first / better one. See that the primary card is set correctly in the OS/driver.

Make sure VRAM is not used up too much by other processes.

Device manager correctly recognizes the GPU. Last driver update was 16 of november, and the last I used DynDOLOD successfully was 18th of november. GPU is a Radeon RX6900 XT (16 GB VRAM). I tried lauching TexGenx64 with Task Manager opened and neither RAM or VRAM passed 50% usage.
