Chunks not staying loaded
As shown in the video I cant keep chunks loaded that I've both manually loaded by flying and by using chunky to load an 1000 chunk radius. Originally thought it was a shader issue as I could only load 8 chunks with shaders enabled but with them disabled im basically having the same issue.

Try using more responsible distance like 256, also did you give it enough RAM?
256 works way better, appreciate it!
seems to be working despite this error message, dont know if I should worry about it

Using Chunky to pregenerate for DH is not recommended for several reasons. The first one is the swiss cheese that might show up when using chunky while DH is installed. The second reason is that it's pointless, as DH has a build in pregenerator that is better integrated than chunky:
- It saves space by only storing LODs, not normal chunks
- It is faster to use DH's pregenerator to generate the LODs than first using chunky to generate the normal chunks, and then using DH to convert the normal chunks to LODs
- It is part of DH, and therefore always/only called when DH needs it
- Chunky calculates it's radius in blocks, confusing the user if they are not aware of this
Distant Horizons' built-in LOD pregenerator is enabled by default, and can be sped up or slowed down by changing the
cpu load in DH's settings, or disabled by turning off Distant Generation.
If you want to pregenerate both LODs and normal chunks, be sure to set the Distance Generator Mode to Internal Server under Advanced, World Generator. This will of course take up quite a lot more storage space. Make sure you have C2ME installed if you want to use Internal Server, as the generation speed will be crap if you don't.
Note, this also applied to other similar pregeneration mods.
LODs shouldn't show up when this pops up
Try a compatible shaderpack
Don't use Chunky it is both slower and causes issues
I never noticed the built in generator ever loading LODs before i used chunky, do i need to change any of my settings?
Try turning up the cpu load in DH's settings
let my pc sit for around an hour at max cpu load and this is all i could load
Are you in singleplayer or multiplayer?
Singleplayer

World generation in general is quite slow, if you want to speed it up:
Install Noisium, Lithium and C2ME(DH 2.3.0+). These mods can improve generation speed by a bit, but it will still not be fast.
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 second part
Debug ended up working, thanks!
