After going through the various grass mods that make up QW's Patch in the Creation Kit and recalculating bounds, I think I have much better results. Thank you so much to sheson and z929669 for your help.

I am seeing something weird when I go up to the Throat of the World, and I don't actually know if it's a DynDOLOD issue, an xLODGen issue, or something else. There's a large square around the mountain with a different terrain color than the further cells. Does this look like a familiar issue to anyone?

The ground is terrain LOD textures. Looks like not all of the terrain LOD textures for the 4 LOD levels were generated with the same settings or maybe LOD level 32, which is also used for the map, is from another (map) mod. Either generate all terrain LOD textures with the same settings or in case it is LOD level 32 texture from a (map) mod that you want to keep, increase the object/terrain LOD level 16 distance (fBlockMaximumDistance) or just the terrain LOD multiplier (fSplitDistanceMult) in the DynDOLOD SkyUI MCM Settings.

"-nowic" fixes this Invalid paramter 80080057 error, which is apparently a wine bug in windowscodecs.dll (specifically, in GenerateMipMapsWIC or its preconditions). I'd hypothesize it's somewhere between this and this (it happens with both DXT1-5 and BC7). Latest texconv or texconvx64.exe doesn't change anything.

This class of error still occurs during the run, but seems to be related to IL incompatibilities between normal mono and MS dotnet impl. Most likely this is effectively a wine bug, if it works on windows. This does not disrupt Dyndolod much, but I bet it's not ideal.

The log snippet is from DynDOLOD 2.x, this is the DynDOLOD 3 alpha thread. I would be interested if setting an uncompressed texture format TreeLODDiffuseFormat=88 in the DynDOLOD_SSE.ini still works as a workaround. Or if also setting TreeLODGenerateMipMaps=0 is needed?

If LODGen is not able to read a LOD model, then it won't be included in the object LOD meshes and missing. Test if using the x64 version is any different.

The Complementary Packs always required Blended roads. The LOD packs have nothing to do with that.

When I run TexGenx64, it runs through normally then restarts my computer with it not even being finished. I have used DynDOLOD for years and never had any troubles until now. I installed it correctly, it's using as much memory as it needs, but it is restarting my computer without giving a log. I did assign every tick box "grass, trees, trees hd, and rendering" so maybe that has something to do with it. It's not a specs problem as I have a very high end rig. Any help would be appreciated

The PC has a hardware, OS or driver issue. Simple programs like TexGen do not restart  computers, obviously. Since the PC forcefully shuts down, the innocent program is terminated and can obviously not write logs or anything. Check the Event Log of the OS.

I currently have the problem that I have pink tree lod for just a single tree "gkbreachclifftree02" (xx00ab1f)  from the mod "Myrkvior - The Flora of Skyrim". I have tried re-installing the Dynlodod-Ressources, re-installing the Mod inclusive the enhanced Textures, then running TexGen and finally re-Running DynDOLOD, but I still have those pink LOD-Textures for this single tree in the Reach.

Could anyone point me into the right direction, on where I would have to look next?

Ah, it's my map mod, then. That makes total sense -- thank you so much! What a delight to get Skyrim looking so beautiful with your tools.

Read the first post.

Pink textures typically means textures are missing. Check the log for warnings about textures that can not be found for example.

Make sure to properly install the mod and its files/requirements.

Oops, thought I had latest. Still highly recommend supporting the 

-nowic

parameter, as it's included as an OS workaround for MS operating systems in texconv. Uncompressed textures might work, didn't try that

Now trying Alpha 35 in a fresh directory, some bad things seem to happen:

This appears to be a bug with swscanf_s for %zu args somehow, filed a wine bug for it. Might relate to "-m0" bugs also reported by wine users in the past.

The export and logfile are promptly deleted after executing LODGen and before printing the error message to the log.That will be changed in the next version so that the logfile is kept.

The error indicates a problem with the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 installation.

Is using  -m 1 still causing the same type of error? Those errors also happen when executing texconv included in DynDOLOD or the official release version using wineconsole?

Read the first post what logiles to upload when making reports.

Check the DynDOLOD log for texture can not be found messages.

Typically the only textures that can be missing are the textures used by the 3D models, since billboards are only used for LOD generation if the billboard textures actually exists. They can only be missing in the game if the entire LOD texture atlas is missing. In any case, also open the billboard textures in an image, that they look OK.

The tree report lists which 3D tree LOD model was found and if it is being used for a LOD level. Check it in NifSkope or with the xEdit Asset Browser to find out which textures it  is using.
