DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 182

[adancau]

Tried TexGen again with Alpha 71. The only difference is that it now fails much faster than before (within the first 30s). Same error, different billboard each time.

EDIT: Replaced TexGenx64.exe from A71 with the one from A69, and the issue goes away.

Out of curiosity try this:

Check what happens if you unpack DynDOLOD into C:\DynDOLOD\ and start it from there.

Generate to the default output folder inside the c:\DynDOLOD\ folder

Start TexGen with -T:"C:\DynDOLOD\temp\" command line argument to set a custom temp path.

See if anything behaves differently with newer Alpha versions.

TexGen_SSE_realtime_log.txtsame behavior, worst case scenario I'd do a clean install....which I would rather not do atm.

Is there somewhere I can obtain the archived versions. Tex Gen has been giving me the same headache. TexGen crashes after roughly 30 secondes with a different billboard each time. I've also verified that the billboards are installed, and they are. I was not having this issue on Alpha 69. However, I no longer have the download for Alpha 69.

Upload the log, debug log and bugreport as explained on the first post.

If you mean the game or the OS, don't do that. The game install should have no direct affect on this (though it is possible that different input or the different output files size, content or whatever could have an affect)

You could try running in Windows safe mode, see if that makes a difference.

Check if there is anything different with this test version
If not, edit ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\TexGen_SSE.INI and add RenderThreads=1 right under [TexGen] at the top to test if that makes a difference.
If not, set OldMethod=1 in the INI to see if that makes a difference.

Oh wow, it worked. Dyndolod worked as well. May I ask what the RenderThreads command do?

Instead of having the default of 2 threads, it does render in a single thread.

I take it you did that with the test version? If you could check if it also works with the alpha-71.

Then with either version remove the RenderThreads or set it to two 2 and then add a line RenderContexts=1.

Let me know if this works and compare time difference to RenderThreads=1

It won't be dramatic as far as I know.

I haven't actually used the test version to run dyndolod. After adding that command, I ran LODGen which worked then moved to Dyndolod.exe without using the test version. And both worked afterwards with only the change to the lodgen.ini

[MrTanku]

So I changed renderthreads back to 2 and added that contexts command and I crashed. Changed it back to 1 with the contexts command and it did not crash.

I assume you mean TexGen instead of LODGen

If you could just let me know if there is any difference with the test version. Most likely not.

You have an AMD graphics card right? No idea if it matters, just taking notes.

Oh, and if could check if the event log entry is always the same or not. Especially the exception address /fault offset.

....crap lol  anyway I do use a AMD GPU (6900xt) I did rerun with the test version since I downloaded some of the seasons of skyrim additional mods and so far I'm getting these times (29 min 47 sec non-test version and 31min 21 sec on the test version)

That's for generating LOD with DynDOLOD right? That's close enough to be the same.

OK, one last thing: can you run this test version of TexGen with the RenderThreads=2 and RenderContexts=2 setting and see if works or if it creates a bugreport.txt in case it terminates? In case it creates a bugreport.txt upload it please.

TexGen_SSE_log.txtTexGen_SSE_Debug_log.txtTexGen_SSE_realtime_log.txt ctd without error messages again...really strange behavior when threads =/1. It did not create a bugreport

Please upload the entire debug log to and the entire log from the last meaningful generation. Zip and use a file service if as explained on the first post.

Please the upload the po3_SeasonsOfSkyrim.ini that went missing somehow.

See if anything behaves differently with newer Alpha versions.

Upload the debug log, log and bugreport as explained on first post. If they do not exist check the Windows Event log for messages.

No other logs but the Event Viewer shows this error:

Thanks for your help.
