I'm going to put the 'Bug' tag on this, to see if there is anything I can do to fix this in the code.

In the meantime, you can try the following

Navigate to the file C:\Users\AaronChan\faceswap\faceswap_win_launcher.bat and open it up it Notepad.

At the beginning of the line (not on a different line, it needs to go on the same line as the existing command) prefix it with

Code: Select all

chcp 65001 &&

The final command should be something like (the paths may be slightly different for your final setup):

Code: Select all

chcp 65001 && "C:\Users\AaronChan\MiniConda3\scripts\activate.bat" && conda activate "faceswap" && python "C:\Users\AaronChan\faceswap/faceswap.py" gui

Save the file and try Faceswap again.

Let me know if this works, because I haven't tested it.

I have pushed an update which hopefully fixes this issue, but I am unable to test it.

Please could you update faceswap and see if it works and let me know. If it does not work, please post the latest crash report.

Ugggh, always Windows.

I have pushed another fix. This just allows decoding errors, but doesn't decode problematic characters. Would be interested to see if this works, and what the output anyone gets now from previously failing commands is.
