Why does it just stop loading the lod chunks
The lods only load in a square around where ever the first place in the world I've had the mod on is, if I go any further than that it stops generating lods, and it's not a problem of them not loading fast enough because as shown by the fact that there an actual gap in between the lods and the vanilla rendered area, they just don't
When I try to start the mod in a different place it still only loads the area I was in the first time it was turned on, so I could be 2000 blocks away and instead of seeing all around me I'll just see a far off island 2000 blocks away, this happens on single player as well as servers and has been a problem for a year now, it's why I just gave up until now

lets cover singleplayer first, because distant generation should definitely be working there.
/slowgen
World generation in general is quite slow, if you want to speed it up:
Install Noisium and Lithium, these mods can improve generation speed by a couple percent.
Make sure to remove the C2ME mod as it significantly slows down DH chunk generation by up to 35%.
Increase
CPU Load in Distant Horizons settings for faster generation, but you will experience more lag spikes and stuttering due to heavier workload on CPU.
To see if Distant Generator is really working or not:
1) Check CPU usage while in-game, using Aggressive settings of CPU Load. If CPU usage's hovering around 80-100%, the LoDs are generating in the background.
2) Go to DH settings > Advanced Options > Debug > Wireframe, set Enable Debug Wireframe Rendering and Show World Gen Queue to True.
Enabling both settings will show you the visualization of world gen tasks queued and working on the map (blue boxes for queued tasks, red boxes for working tasks)try the wireframe thingy, see if you see the boxes
Don't know what boxes you're talking about so I'm guessing that's a no
Just looks the same
Wait
Nvm I see them occasionally
What now
That means it's working, just slowly. Try turning up cpu load in DH's settings
I've tried that but I'll do it again
That made a difference
I'll let it sit for a bit to see if it generates the whole thing
Should this work for multi-player too so long as I've been to those chunks
Yes
Well, kinda
DH will remember the chunks you are visiting now. It can't access the chunks you visited in the past
