DynDOLOD 3.00 Alpha 190

[TIREDshinigami]

Error  Load Order(if it matters my specs are r7 7735hs 16gb ddr5 mobile rtx 4060 8gb and everything is on an ssd)I installed dyndolod following this guide and everything worked correctly i installed silent horizons 2 universal core enb as well no issues after that was just following a list of mod recommendations and i got to majestic mountains after installing it i followed as the mod said and tried to re run tex gen and dyndolod at first i forgot to disable the previous outputs so after dealing with that tex gen gave me this error
my game reaches skyrim logo i get the enb binaries thing and then it crashes to desktop.

p.s: I have missing masters of CC content with COTN I dont know if i can resolve that i was planning on just ignoring them but i can try disabling those mods to see if that is causing the issue

p.s2:im not new to modding but its my first time using dyndolod and enbs and i have no idea what im doing

p.s3:im on vortex sse 1.5.97 latest enb binaries and skse 2_00_20 i think.

Moved to the correct forum.

Please read the entire DynDOLOD Alpha OP for basics, and provide your log files for the most recent generation as described. There's also links to more information.

Also, there is mention of COTN on the DynDOLOD Alpha topic: https://stepmodifications.org/forum/search/?q=COTN&quick=1&type=forums_topic&item=17510

If there are any kind of memory errors, make sure to use the x64 versions of the tools. Check FAQ answers for High memory usage.

https://dyndolod.info/Messages/Exceptions#OpenGL
If they are memory related also check FAQ answers for High memory usage.

https://dyndolod.info/FAQ#High-memory-usage-Out-of-memory

https://dyndolod.info/Installation-Instructions
Use the x64 versions of DynDOLOD/TexGen. The x86 versions may run into memory errors especially with large texture resolution settings and are included in case a x86 OS is used. They are functionally identical, the only difference is the supported CPU architecture.

so adding the line lodcache=10 texturecache=10 to the texgen_sse didnt help by itself but after playing around with the output format i changed it to bc7max and that didnt help either but using both this line and bc7max it worked now i have removed the line and it still works i am very confused with and without it i had alot of ram and vram left so idk why i was getting that error thanks for the amazing mod and the quick support 
also sorry for making a post in the wrong place and providing incorrect logs maybe im an idiot or i got redirected to the wrong page but i saw nothing about how to provide logs and all that anywhere.

Read the first post and/or https://dyndolod.info/Official-DynDOLOD-Support-Forum#Post-Logs which TexGen log and debug log to upload when making posts.

Use the x64 version.
BC7 Max just means texconv will spend a considerable longer time to create a BC7 texture compared to BC7 Quick.

What other errors are reported by xEdit that you choose to ignore?

Expand  

To be precise there are 140 in total.
5 "Found a DIAL reference, expected: GLOB" in the STEP Conflict resolution - WACCF patch
2 "Tint index not found" in Summerset Isle
about 10 "navmesh triangle not found" in a few location mods, all involving some kind of doorway.
about 15 "quest alias not found" in a few mods that have quests
1 "HAZD \ Record Header \ Record Flags -> <Unknown: 25 $19>" in Odin
4 "PTDA - Target \ Target Data \ Target -> Target is not persistent" in AI Overhaul
4 "placed mapmarker" in Bruma
The rest are all either something about "Using encoding (from language): 1252  (ANSI - Latin I)" or "NULL reference, expected fact".

However these two I am very unsure about:
[03:08] Tamriel [WRLD:0000003C]
[03:08]     WRLD -> Warning: internal file FormID is a HITME: 0100003C (should be 0000003C ) 
and 
[02:37] [NAVI:00012FB4]
[02:37]     NAVI \ Navigation Map Infos \ NVMI - Navigation Map Info \ Navigation Mesh -> [141D5064] <Error: Could not be resolved>

When I try going to their FormID I dont see anything that says error or warning. I have no idea what to do.

Pay attention to all log messages. 

For example these messages which are repeated many times:
<Warning: File [B9] DynDOLOD.esp with Group GRUP World Children of [..] is missing an overriden record for[..]

Delete the output folder log folder, delete bugreport,.txt and then generate DynDOLOD from scratch - that means to disable/remove old DynDOLOD output in the load order. If problem persists, upload new log, debug log and bugreport.txt.

I tried this and some wierd stuff happened. I didn't get the usual "Assertion Error", DynDOLOD ran for while, but then several pop up windows with more flowing text popped up, and now its still running, but stuck. My fans are still spinning loud, when i click X it says "Generation will not be complete", but its been almost 5 hours now. 
Its been stuck here:

You need to delete the broken plugins that has HITME errors. Maybe you can fix it as explained.

I'm sorry, do you mean that you need the log and debug log for the subsequent run of DynDOLOD?

[Soulmancer]

Might be a dumb question, but checking the log I am seeing.  Perhaps I am looking at the wrong message / log to see if the workaround was successful or failed. 

Large reference bugs workarounds: enabled (DynDOLOD.DLL: NG, Scripts: NG, Deleted references: no)

 

But when dyndolod completes it does note.

In case a deleted large reference is found and the log and the Large reference bugs workarounds requirements not met error message report Deleted references: yes, the debug log will contain a line that mention the plugin that requires cleaning like this

https://dyndolod.info/Help/Large-References#Technical-Details
The system only works for references with base records of the type STAT and MSTT.

The deleted reference is using a TREE base record and is not a deleted large reference.

Try to keep an eye on memory just in case.

I've monitored memory usage a bit on my latest run and when the error popped up system memory was ~8,6gb used out of 16 and video memory was ~2,1gb out of 8. As shown in the picture below:

I deleted the HITME. I deleted the unresolved FORM ID but i'm not sure if it was the right thing to do. I was actually able to find that specific record.  Now its a Null reference.
Anywho I made another attempt at running Dyndolod. I started it before I went out to dinner. It looked like it was going to be stuck on the same part, but when I came back home 4 hours later, it apparently pushed through and kept running. When I went to bed it was stuck on Blackreach glow , but 8 hours later when I woke up it was still sitting on Blackreach glow. So I went ahead and halted it.
Here are the logs from that run:

Now I'm running through this. It says to do some tests, like add "LockTexConv"=1 to the SSE.ini. There is no "lockTexConv" anywhere in that ini. Does that mean i just add it in completely like at the bottom or something?

Thank you again for your help!

I don't know what happened, but I ran it again after doing this and it worked O_O

But it was suspiciously fast, like 40 minutes for all wordspaces, including occlusion

https://dyndolod.info/Generation-Instructions
Wait for all processes including all spawned LODGen command prompt windows to complete successfully. Pay attention to all log messages. It should end with the log message 'DynDOLOD plugins generated successfully' and lines like 'LODGen generated object LOD for [WORLDSPACE] successfully' for each selected worldspace.

If there were no errors that stopped the process, then the LOD patch was generated successfully. How long it takes depends on mods, assets, settings and hardware.
