Faceswap wont open up after change of graphics card

Post by HawaiianPizza »

Hi,

So I had faceswap installed on a Radeon card however it complained there was not enough memory as the card had 2GB. I purchase a GTX 980 TI with 6GB memory and uninstalled the Radeon drivers using a popular driver install software, deleted all remnants of it, installed Nvidia drivers, then remove and installed the latest drivers, installed faceswap again choosing the nvidia and found the faceswap program opens up a terminal states it states "Setting faceswap backend to Nvidia" and then it says "Traceback (most recent call last)" and the terminal closes. This opens and closes so fast I need to film it and pause the actual frame of the video.

I have today done the windows cumulative update and reset the computer, used ccleaner to clean up the registry, restarted and then after doing the following instructions on the below link I still have the same issue. I found no mention of python in my system, no items in add/remove software besides Nvidia graphics driver 526.98, its audio driver and Physx system software, no mention of CUDA anywhere. Delete the conda folder, found nothing called python in the roaming folder either.

app.php/faqpage#f1r1

I have found another post on here in which someone updated the C++ vbasic from here which I did:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-GB/cpp/w ... w=msvc-170

I have looked around for a similar thread to this topic however they all seem to be about error messages after the program opens, if anyone knows a link to try something else please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, without more information about the error, I cannot say what the issue might be.

In the first instance please try this:

Go to Start > Anaconda Prompt (cmd)
Then enter the following commands one by one

Code: Select all

conda activate faceswap
cd faceswap
python -c "from lib.sysinfo import sysinfo ; print(sysinfo)"

Post the output

My word is final

Re: Faceswap wont open up after change of graphics card

Ok, no obvious issue there....

Do the same as above to get up an Anaconda prompt and do

Code: Select all

conda activate faceswap
cd faceswap
python faceswap.py gui

Hopefully we can get the actual text of the error message.

My word is final

Re: Faceswap wont open up after change of graphics card

Thanks, Interesting, why a permission error and why are there two back-slashes on the bottom line? My PC setup is straightforward on here, there are no other users so no special permissions setup. I just need to go as system admin every now and then to do things like disk partitioning...

Don't worry about the 2 slash thing, that's just escape characters. It's normal.

re: permissions. Windows users love giving programs root/admin access. It's insane, but there you go.

This is actually doing the right thing here. We deliberately don't give faceswap admin access. Unfortunately you have installed it in a location which required admin access (program files)....

Remove faceswap and install it somewhere else where admin access is not required (somewhere like My Documents, or another location with standard user permissions).

Hi

Thank you for this information, it might be good to have this type of information presented in install recommendations advice prior to install to avoid this happening to others. Before I uninstall and reinstall, is it possible to simply label the directory faceswap is in as non-privileges or is program files built into the faceswap software as a folder not to engage with? Can't I simply move faceswap folder if its standalone software? Thanks again for your help.

edit: You can just move the folder, just need to adjust the details for the path in the bat file.
