There seems to be a problem with the graphics card. Update to latest drivers. Disable overclocking if used. Maybe disable power saving. There probably is an Windows event log entry from the graphics driver that might shed more light on the cause.

After reviewing the windows event log it appears there was a problem with the integrated graphics however reinstalling the drivers did not have an affect on the outcome so I believe the problem may be with the driver itself. I did try your second suggested solution to set the ini's MaxTextureSize to 8192 and it managed to resolve the issue.

What settings did you use when generating textures with TexGen?
What max texture size settings did you use in DynDOLOD?

For further information,

When running TexGen, both rendedered and stitched object LODs are set to 1024. Tree/Grass LOD billboards are at 11.0 units per pixel with the texture size min/max being 32/1024. All settings for Tree/Grass/Default under billboards are set to default as are the texture compression formats.

The max texture size LOD for DynDOLOD is 1024 and max texture size full is 256.

Thank you for your help

That's a bug. Can you check if this also happens with the LODGen.exe from xLODGen terrain LOD beta 90?

TexGen does not generate _3.dds billboards. It generate 2 billboards, a front view _1.dds and a 90 degree side view _2.dds if HD billboards is selected.

LODGenx64 from xLODGen 90 also references *_3.dds and BTO is missing those

Unless you play Skyrim on a vertical 4k monitor setting such resolutions for the texture does not make much sense. See https://dyndolod.info/Help/Texture-Resolution

If the system also has a dedicated graphics card, make it the primary/default one.

What does that mean you dealt with the issue? You can not fix problems in the code. Please upload the log and debug matching the bugreport.txt uploaded earlier or provide information how to reproduce the error.

Always use the latest version.

Pay attention to all log message and the summary. Especially the ones about "Texture resolution ... not a power of 2".

From the log:
<Warning: Texture resolution 256x171 not a power of 2 Texture textures\rbroriksteadtextures\planks_lod.dds Used by meshes\rbroriksteadmeshes\woodentowerrorikstead03lod.nif RedBag's Rorikstead.esp 000WoodenTowerRBRorikstead [STAT:460012CE]>

It's known since a long time. See bug reports/comments on mod page.

Thanks! It seems the item not found is caused because a mesh is missing.

[20:06] <Warning: File not found Meshes\effects\elfx\mountains\elfxmountainpeak02.nif Skyrim.esm MountainPeak02_Blackreach [STAT:000487E7]>

You may want to reinstall Enhanced Lights and FX.

Next version should not fail with an item not found error and only print the warning  message and continue.

@sheson
Could you add the calmwater.dds to your ignore list for this warning?

[00:00] Gathering LOD assets
[00:10] Processing patches
[00:16] Processing 20425 base records for 2990 object LOD and 253 dynamic LOD models
[00:22] <Warning: Filename textures\water\calmwater.dds does not adhere to file naming conventions. Used by Meshes\effects\fxcreekflatlarge.nif Skyrim.esm FXCreekFlatLarge [MSTT:0009D45F]>

It follows the same naming scheme used by the game for the water normals (not using '_n'), which aren't reported so I assume there is an ignore list somewhere. We simply carried this naming scheme forward to our new texture for RWT.

The vanilla fxcreekflatlarge.nif defines textures\effects\FXwaterTile02_n.dds for that shape which happens to follow the naming convention?

Can you provide an example of a vanilla normal map texture used by a vanilla NIF that does not end in *_n.dds?
