2. It would be helpful if xEdit could visually indicate large references by displaying them in a different color or style, so that mod authors are no longer blind.

Use xLODGen terrain LOD beta in edit mode. Even if RNAM data is not shown on worldspace records because of Hide "never shown" being checked, large references list the worldspace record on the Referenced by tab.

If you uncheck the Hide "never shown" you will notice the delays the huge amount of data in Skyrim.esm causes whenever the Tamriel worldspace records is somehow involved when checking references or cells etc. That's why normal xEdit ignores the data by default on Skyrim.esm.

Are you saying that CK can properly detect overwritten large references and notify the user, but mod authors disable this option? I know very little of CK. I just looked at it and played with it a bit, I couldn't find anything related to large references. I also tested moving a large reference and saving the overwrite in an ESP. CK happily obliged without a blip.

This is complete off topic for here, but run Creation Kit and load a random mod. Creation Kit will spin its wheels for a while loading the base game masters and then spew out a massive log errors and warnings for Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, etc. I know my naive reaction to this the first time I ran across it was to hunt down a way to disable it.

Alpha 78.  Referenced log has literally nothing relevant.  Never happened with previous versions.  Mod set up is stable and hasn't changed (except for removing TPOS2) since last successful run.  Thanks.

I clicked on said link.  It told me to check the Windows Event Viewer.  Which I did and posted the results.  Screenshot is only the error notice from DynDOLOD.  Why is that problematic?  ANyway here is the results from the "copy to clipboard"

I also already looked at the search you suggested on my own and came with nothing relevant.  I did try the repair .NET app.  It didn't help.

What happened when you follow the second instructions for the error code "See https://www.admin-enclave.com/en/articles/windows/306" and follow what the website says?
That is what solved the problem for 2 people in the past couple days - as you must know after doing the search. 

Screenshots can not be searched.

If error persist after following the suggestion from  the website https://www.admin-enclave.com/en/articles/windows/306 linked from the help page https://dyndolod.info/Help/LODGen for the error code E0434352, execute the command from the error message:

"C:\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\LODGenx64.exe" --inputfile "C:\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\Export\LODGen_SSE_Test.txt" --logfile "C:\DynDOLOD\DynDOLOD\Logs\LODGen_SSE_Test_log.txt"

from a command prompt window to see if it shows more information. Copy and paste the text from the command prompt window in that case.

If it fails because the LODGen_SSE_Test.txt is missing let me know.

So, solution #1 from that link worked.  But for some reason, I had to do the procedure twice, which I why I thought it wasn't working and hence my post.  Maybe I typo'd something the first time?  v.Alpha 74 worked for me.  So, this error seems to be related to v.Alpha78 (or at least something between 74 and 78).   Nothing else has really changed on my end.

You just fixed a problem with feature of the OS on your end.

LODGen did not cause the problem with your OS. LODGen simply now uses a feature it didn''t use before improvements were made in Alpha-76

Interesting.  Is this some sort of Windows 11 thing?  First time I have had this issue.  Anyway, it's all good now.  Thanks for the help.

The website page says 2017.The problem could possible happen all the way from XP for all I know.

I'm getting an "open GL: out of memory" error when running TexGen x64 3.00 Alpha 78. I'm using DynDOLOD Resources SE v3 Alpha 22. I was troubleshooting a separate DYNDOLOD Error (item not found) that's only occurring with a specific combination of mods. During this process I've reran texgen multiple time just fine for an ever dwindling load order.

Now it's suddenly giving this OpenGL: out of memory error. It's continued happening after a pc restart and with minimal background programs. This did not happen using resources 3.0 alpha v21 with texgen 3.0 alpha v74. This also only started with this specific minimal modlist, and texgen worked properly on a far larger version of it. (Currently a very minimal troubleshooting list of engine fixes, USSEP, PapyrusUtils, SkyUI, Seasons of Skyrim, Seasonal Aspen Trees, and JK's Skyrim. No active retexture mods). I'm confused because this worked before when far more mods where enabled, including everything that is enabled now with it not working.

I'm running Windows 10 x64 21H2 (build 19044.1586) with a ryzen 5 5600g and I've got 32GB of ram. Total system ram usage stayed at around 6.3-6.7GB used out of 32gb during this process. There was a very short spike up to 8gb when first opening the program, but only when it first opened. Looking at the **DYNDOLOD manual I've not found anything, and I'm already using the x64 version of Texgen.

**Clicking the link in the error box in either dydndolod or texgen did nothing throughout my troubleshooting. No browser window ever opened. It was weird because that used to work.

What link are you referring to that does not open a webpage in the browswer?

OpenGL memory is video memory. Track its usage while TexGen is running. It should not use much more than 2GB with default settings and vanilla textures. Close other programs that use video memory.

Does the error also happen if only checking rendered object LOD textures or stitched object LOD textures at a time?

Open ..\DynDOLOD\Edit Scripts\DynDOLOD\TexGen_SSE.INI in notepad and add a line TextureCache=10, test if it makes a difference.

Just reran Texgen, I only have a 2gb Video card (gtx 960 2gb). Dedicated VRAM usage hit 2gb then texgen gave the out of memory error, but total GPU memory (including shared normal ram) only hit 2.1gb.

Reran it a second time having added TextureCache=10 to the TexGen_SSE.ini right at the top under [TexGen]. That worked without an error. Vram usage did hit 1.8gb, but Dedicated vram usage seemed to reset every so often to below 1gb this time before climbing back up. So that was successful.

When Texgen threw that error message window, none of the links worked.

For my Dyndolod error: now that texgen worked I can see that this specific minimal modlist works. Whenever I re add "nature of the wild lands - Pine and Aspens Replacer" dyndolod gives that item not found error. I reran texgen yet again  (with nature of the Wild lands - Pine and aspens replacer and this time with HD Tree selected as I have Ultra trees set in DynDolod). After that completed I ran dydndolod and it gave "Error: Item not Found"

I'm uploading the Dyndolod Debug Log to google drive but my upload speed is horrible so it will take a few minutes (233mb)

You mean Online Manual | Support Forum at the bottom?

All links use the same OS mechanic to open an URL with the default browser. If the browser is already running it should open a new tab. What happens if you click the Help button of the TexGen window?
