low detailed objects / cells not loading properly

[Vrakyas]

Randomly I discover this odd thing, that many objects like houses, roads, walls and rocks aren't loaded properly. They all occur in their low detailed LOD-version, even when i'm close to them.

This didn't occur the first time. I had this issue back then in my first modded Skyrim SE, too.

It seems that the cells isn't loaded properly. Only restarting Skyrim can solve it, but not always - often I have to travel to the affected places by a different path/road.

 

Here are some places I discovered this issue:

*Ivarstead (coming from Riften): whole town is a LOD, roads are missing

*Guardian Stones (coming from Riverwood): rocks are low-res

*exterior of Whiterun: stone gates and walls are low-res

 

Trees are not affected.

 

I generated all object and tree LODs with SSELodGen v3.2

 

I Installed Pfuscher's 4k textures.

 

I haven't edited my ini-files much, just the following (everything else is set on ultra settings):

SkyrimPrefs.ini

[Display]
iShadowMapResolution=4096

[General]
uLargeRefLODGridSize=21

[Trees]
uiMaxSkinnedTreesToRender=200

[MapMenu]
bWorldMapNoSkyDepthBlur=1
fWorldMapNearDepthBlurScale=0
fWorldMapDepthBlurScale=0
fWorldMapMaximumDepthBlur=0

Skyrim.ini

[Display]
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=4096

[Grass]
iMinGrassSize=30
iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=7

When I'm back home in the evening, I can post a screenshot and also post my load order.

"Unfortunately" I haven't experienced this issue yesterday. So I couldn't take any screenshots.

Very strange - no issues since I posted this.

I switched from SSELODGen to DynDOLOD on that day - maybe DynDOLOD fixed this issue for me.

 

I just have those low-detailed textures in Helgen when I just started a new game: The wall Alduin lands on is low-detail for a second and Helgen Keep where I have to choose between Ralof and Hadvar is also low-detailed for a second. But they get hires after that.

I guess it's because the engine is under heavy load while Alduin attacks Helgen.

I've had this problem too. it also affects the trees. did you ever find a solution?
