Okey, so I've been trying to generate Object, Ultra and Grass LODs (I'm using Open Cities of Skyrim, so I've been following the instructions on how to work around it), and I keep getting the same error, that confuses me a bit:

Error: LODGenx64.exe failed to generate object LOD for Tamriel. LODGenx64.exe returned 28F. Check F:\Program Files (x86)\ModOrganizer\DynDoLOD\3 alfa\DynDOLOD\Logs\LODGen_SSE_Tamriel_log.txt>

I checked the log, and it says as follows:
Error processing grass data Tamrielx0022y-034.cgid can not read after the end of the stream. System.IO.EndOfStreamException
Log ended at 20:30:32 (23:3)
Code: 655

(sorry if the wordings wierd, had to translate it, since it wrote part of it in Danish).

So the problem obviously seems to be related to creating grass LODs, and it seems to be predicated on one for the Grasscaches created with No Grass in Objects.
However, after I clicked Ok to the error message, DynDOLOD seemingly finished the proces.

So my question is this, if I finish running DynDOLOD, to create the LODs, what will happen? will none of it work? or will all of it work save one cell, where there just wont be any grass LOD? for if the latter is the case, I think I could live with it, as long as it doesn't cause any CTD.

Cheers

Both https://dyndolod.info/Help/LODGen (which is linked from the message window that notified about that there we errors in LODGen) and https://dyndolod.info/Help/Grass-LOD explain the cause and solution to the error.

Searching for the error https://stepmodifications.org/forum/search/?q=cgid end stream&quick=1&type=forums_topic&item=15606 also gives similar results.

Object LOD generation is incomplete because it stopped and there wasn't a LODGen completed successfully message as explained on https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions Do not attempt to use incomplete generations in the game.

Thanks, that makes sense.
One question though. If I simply deleted the bad file, and ran DynDOLOD, what would happen then? does it need that cell to complete the LOD's?

Cells that have no grass cache file won''t have grass LOD. Doesn't really make sense to only delete the file then not start the game to create the cell real quick.

Well yes and no.. I agree it would be best, however in order to run No Grass in Objects, even for just one cell, I would have to downgrade SKyrim AE to Skyrim SE once more, with all the hassel that intails.. I might well do that, however, I want to know my options.. after all, the cell in question might be snowy mountain cell, with no grass at all..

DynDOLOD 3 started to crash (without any logs) shortly after I click "ok" and begin generating LODs, MO2 left locked waiting for textconv64.exe to finish, and it never would.
Please help.

Heyas Sheson,

While running TexGen (latest DynDOLOD and DynDOLOD Resources), I got a number of "Access violation at address" messages and TexGen stopped working. Unfortunately I have no idea how to read bugreports, so I have no idea what is causing it. I have set all the necessary files as exclusions in my antivirus programs.

 

Here are the logs:

Use task manager to end Texconvx64.exe. Maybe reboot.

Make sure that OS, UAC, antivir is not interfering with DynDOLODx64.exe, TexGenx64.exe, Texconvx64.exe or LODGenx64.exe.

Use the x64 version.

There is no such proccess in task manager, I tried rebooting numerous times.
Also DynDOLOD 2.98 works just fine, so I assume OS or UAC have nothing to do with it? MO2 is launched with Admin rights and I do not use any anti-virus.

If MO2 says it is waiting for X, it typically means that X is still active. It will at least mean the the virtual file system is still locked for that and anything else trying to use it probably has problems.

Windows Defender is an anti virus. 

DynDOLOD 2.x is a different program. Any comparison to it is irrelevant.

Check the Windows Event log for hints.

Make sure to download the latest version and to unpack it into a new and empty folder. Do not overwrite or mix with older versions.

The tools use standard OS functions to access files and folders. Whatever happens beyond these functions is out of the control of programs.

Check the hints given by the event 1005 about disk problems and what to do about them.

If the disk has no errors etc. check MO2 virtual file system / log.

And again, UAC, antivir or any similar 3rd party programs that might control and interfere file access.

It may be caused while trying to read a specific texture (via Texconv). So it could be either C (temp folder) or D drive.

If you are running Windows 10 (or even earlier versions, unless I'm mistaken), then you are running Windows Security in one form or another (Windows Defender handles the firewall in Win10+ and possibly earlier versions). Windows update can also change the state of native OS security apps. Regardless, you may want to see this topic best answers:
