You need to increase your TerrainManager SkyrimPrefs.ini block distances (most notably fBlockMaximumDistance), as the underside mesh will show if the LOD doesn't cover it.

Thanks DoubleYou I have:

 

[TerrainManager]

bShowLODInEditor=1

fBlockLevel0Distance=75000.0000

fBlockLevel1Distance=140000.0000

fBlockMaximumDistance=300000.0000

fSplitDistanceMult=4.0000

fTreeLoadDistance=75000.0000

 

Edit: I had this set in the Skyrimcustom.ini I moved to Skyrimpref.ini and it look like that fixed it. Thou I Throught thing placed in Skyrimcustom.ini overwrote stuff in Skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini?

SkyrimCustom.ini does NOT overwrite settings in SkyrimPrefs.ini, only ones placed in Skyrim.ini.

The log folder does not contain useful logs since it seems the OS terminated the program without letting it go through its exception handler and shutdown procedure. See if the event is preceded by other events with the same time stamp.

Help, I'm at my wit's end.

I have SSE AE 1.6.353 Steam

I have done everything Sheson has asked in his own installation instruction page.

I get this flicker whenever I go closer to large distant objects. It's like a pop-in or flash or whatever instead of just gradually transitioning to a different, more detailed texture.

https://imgur.com/a/8Os0w1I

I have Enhanced Vanilla trees and Majestic Mountains but the flicker effect also happens in vanilla structures like windmills and castle walls.

This issue does not happen in 2.98.

It looks like the issue that I have with the post above from Darklady Lexy seems similar though I don't know if she gets the flashing effect. So I copied the [TerrainManager] to my Skyprefs.ini but that didn't solve it. So I returned the settings to what they used to be. Also, where can I find Skyrimcustom.ini?

Install the latest DynDOLOD Resources SE 3 Alpha. Install the latest DynDOLOD DLL Scripts in case you are using DynDOLOD DLL. Download and install the archives again.

Generate LOD with the latest DynDOLOD 3 Alpha Standalone version.

Test with a new game. If that works, but it doesn't with an existing save, make a clean save https://dyndolod.info/Help/Clean-Save.

If none of that helps upload the logs as explained on the first post.

[piestogo]

I use Papyrus Util. I created a new game and it looks fine. It could be possible that I made a mistake in updating from 2.98 to 3 because I did not go to the MCM and deactivate, nor did I go to an interior area. Finally, I see light at the end of the tunnel

After running the patcher for 1.5 hours, suddenly an error about a patch was shown.

Now I have to start from scratch.

Would it be possible to save the state and begin again from the point where the error occured?

The object and tree LOD that generated successfully so far can be kept and doesn't have to be generated again.
Everything that requires data in the plugins, like dynamic LOD, underside, occlusion needs to be generated for all worldspaces without error.
It is possible to update thje existing plugins, especially if they do not yet contain data for a worldspace.

So you can generate dynamic LOD, underside, occlusion for all worlspaces in one run and merge with the already existing object and tree LOD and  install it.
Then update that installation by loading the existing plugins and only select object and tree LOD for the remaining worldspaces.

As the https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions mentions, finalize and error check the load order with xEdit before generating LOD.

I made a clean save and installed version three. Everything works fine now, thanks to your help.

Hi - thanks in advance for helping

Just changed mods to include Veydogolt trees which advise running LodGEn  with Ultra checked as it includes 3D tree models. Also have Vedogolt grass and land overhaul.

I have - cleared out all old texgen, LOD files. Created grass cache as per "No Grass in Objects" Reinstalled Dyndolod 3 resources and Dyndolod 3 alpha 65. Installed xLodgen.

Ran Texgen (log files attached). Installed generated output (MO2) Ran xLODGen to generate Terrain Lod (Only Terrain LOD, baked normal maps) - Installed the output. 

Ran  Dyndolod 3 using recommended settings on Veydogolt Trees site, including Ultra for Tree Gen. After fixing one mod with a bad reference picked up by Dyndolod, it ran through ot the end, but failed to generate some worlds, including Tamriel and Solstheim (those log files included) - 

<Error: LODGenx64.exe failed to generate object LOD for Tamriel. LODGenx64.exe returned E0434352. Check C:\Games\DynDoLod\DynDOLOD\Logs\LODGen_SSE_Tamriel_log.txt>

TexGen Debug, TexGen Log txt, Tamriel Log, Solstheim Log https://gofile.io/d/OuStFH

No "bugreport.txt" was generated.

I have read some reports about this happening when running with grass cache files included, but could find the answers/solutions.

In the meantime perhaps I can try with decreased settings

Hey Sheson,

I noticed something a while back - but don't see anything in the help or being discussed - but in the DynDOLOD_SSE_Default.ini (preset.ini), there's this section:

TreeLODMaxTileSize=512
TreeLODBrightness=-5
GrassLODMaxTileSize=32
GrassLODBrightness=-5
ObjectLODMaxTileSize=512
ObjectLODBrightness=-1
FullTextureMaxTileSize=512
FullTextureBrightness=-1

Values above are mine, obviously. I've noticed that there is no way to change object or grass billboard brightness in the gui, only direct modification in the ini.

Is it intended that these fields be hidden and separate from billboard brightness?

Really appreciate your helpful support. Sincerely, I wish more MAs documented as well as you do.
