Anyone ever have Dyndolod work?

[Doom Sayer]

I have encountered on numerous occasions,
-PC freezing during gen
-Dyndolod randomly hard crashing
-Random Dyndolod errors
I got it working once and sure its great if it works but seems random to me.

On LE, yes, but I have not bothered on SE.

I know Sheeson recently updated DyndoLOD to 3.0. I assume that's the version you are referring to. What are your PC specs and how many mods are you running?

[lizrdfishr]

I have no issues with DynDOLOD. My game looks fantastic. I run a core i7 6800 and a GTX 1070 graphics card. I run high settings but not insane.

My success is largely due to Vlad's guide and understanding the limitations of my hardware. Following that guide step by step has produced consistently, fantastic results for me.

Lot of mods 300+ very little with world edits. Most being clothing, retexture, skse plugins, mod function mods etc.
-tamrielic set
-little tree mod
-aspen green mod (not at pc forget full name
-mod that changes models of some village houses
-remodels of various objects
-illustrious whiterun+mod that adds actual walls.
Have had issue with the apps stability across two pc's now and 3-4 modlists. Game itself has functions as well as to be expected likely still missing patches, yet to add Legacy of dragonborn etc. I am specifically talking dyndolod i think i can figure game itself out myself. As i have done manual patching/bashed before. I defintely dont blame mxr for not touching it as even bashed patches and complex and obscure combat/animation setups are easier. I mean it might be due to me using 3.0 alpha but had same issues long ago. Maybe i should stress test my pc for 10 min later and if it cant deal with it get a new psu as its only big common factor.

Stress test is always a good idea especially if you have not done one lately.

PC Specifications?

[chris_wiggett]

680ish mods and always worked fine for me in SE. Had to use the x64 version as normal kept crashing due to lack of memory

PC Specifications?

1660ti
16g 3000 Mhz ram.
2700x
Nvme SSD
SATA SSD.
Standard hard drive.
PSU is super cheap hence why it would be first thing i would get rid off.

Previously specs was
AMD 6300
gtx 960 4g
12g Ram
No SSD

Cant find any good way to benchmark or stress test so guess wont bother.
edit: (I ran Dyndolod again and frooze entire pc again. Noticed system explorer was in the red which i assume is for memory usage so might be a memory leak especially since my page file is big due to Cities Skylines using absurd amounts of ram while loading.)

I'm running high values on a GTX 1070. I run Kyne's Grass (the real monster) on godlike settings and have a few nice tree mods as well as an ENB on high settings. My FPS is in the high 50s with dips into the 30s if I stare at a pile of candles... very playable.

If your game won't play at this point, I would re-start the LO and test your build as you install mods so as to find these issues before they get buried under a heap of mods.

Its the dyndolod app. Complete computer freeze. Texgen is fine. Tried 64 and non 64 version.

[Alstack]

Not sure Sheeson has updated all of DynDOLOD yet. The newest update may be buggy by Sheeson's own statement.

I am waiting for the usable newest version myself.

[Vlad 254]

Alstack is correct. I would also add he has posted a separate version of DyndoLOD resources on the Nexus DyndoLOD mod page under the Misc. section.

same here. Never bothered becuase I know from experience that patchers tend ot give lots of headache, but not only that, I know too that if you put too much weight into the LOD gamebryo starts crying... Beth's engine is rubbish.

[Ilja]

Special Edition should take DynDOLOD better than LE did. It is still lighter option that changing uGRID values, which will directly contribute to load times and crashes.

Just noting this, because I have seen some people saying "change uGrids instead" which is exactly what players should not do.

If LODs and load distances do not bother you, then just leave them as they are. If they do bother someone, then do some light fix with DynDOLOD (no need to go all in) and be happy with that.

[Doom Sayer]

Finally investigated further because i was annoyed enough. I installed memtest on a thumb drive and ran it and it detected errors so I guess at some point i will remove one of the ram chips, run memtest and see if its one of them or both of them.

So dyndolod is cleared of direct responsibility. I guess what it does is weird/intense enough that it can be used to figure out if your ram is broken. lol.

Also PSA if you use a nvme for boot os and change boot device then you might need to disconnect all other disks in order for the nvme to show up again (as in NVME only one
in) after you get into normal windows loading just shut down you can plug other drives back in and it will work.

Will probably make memtest a mandatory test every time i get ram now.

edit: Lowering memory speeds fixed the issue. They cant run stably with advertised speeds slight reduction fixed it. Ran dyndolod and it caused no pc lag and no issues at all. Now I just have to figure out how to make tree lod's generate lol.
