Faceswap Forum

After installing Faceswap successfully, when I double the shortcut, the command prompt window popped and closed, nothing happened. I go to check some posts and FAQ, following some solutions, update MS Visaul C++, remove all cuda, conda, and python app, update nvidia driver, and then reinstall Faceswap, same.
My hardware/OS setting is AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 32GB ram, Nvidia GTX1070 8GB, windows 10 Home.

Anyone has some idea to resolve the issue?

Thanks.

Updates:

I copid the bat file content and run it in the command line, here's what I got:

After executing the batch file, the GUI won't start and directly close.

C:\Users\Administrator>"C:\Users\Administrator\Miniconda3\scripts\activate.bat" && conda activate "faceswap" && python "C:\Users\Administrator\faceswap/faceswap.py" gui

This seems to have just started hapenning. Please try the following to get us the information we need to troubleshoot this issue.

From inside your virtual environment, inside your faceswap folder, run:

python -c "from lib.sysinfo import sysinfo ;  print(sysinfo)"

It's solved, I removed all the .decode("utf-8") field and it works now, I think it's trying to decode the already decoded part.

The problem is some lib has changed or you have installed the wrong one. We need to see what's causing the problem, so please give that sysinfo.

I tried to get it for you, as I'm running into the same thing, but I got this message:

I tried this and I can make it run now, thanks!

Don't do this, it prevents updates.

This however should now be fixed. Torzdf had pushed a fix. Just reinstall to pull it and it should be fixed.
