Deleted the programs as required. following the guide lines givwn cuda, minaconda 3 and Faceswap. Installed a a 4080 and getting this when I attempt to update. I have already done this with a 4070 TI without issue. It works but will not apparently update.
Thank you.

Yeah, that part appears to have broken.
I'm currently working on rebasing the code to newer TF and Python, which will require a full re-install anyway, so that fix will be issued as part of that.

Ok, this update has been pushed. You will need to get the latest installer from:
https://github.com/deepfakes/faceswap/releases
You can copy the .ini files from the .config folder if you want to keep your settings (then place them back in the .config folder of the new install)
I recommend running these steps prior to re-installing:

There may be bugs. It was a fairly hefty overhaul. Please start a new thread if you hit any.

I am going to test whether I can recreate, or whether this is user specific.
However, you can fix the issue yourself, as per the message output with:
Start > Anaconda prompt
Code: Select all
git config --global --add safe.directory C:/Users/e4978/faceswap

I have the same problem. I just reinstalled and says git not installed when I check for updates. Also the update broke my previous install so I had to reinstall.

The ability to update is due to a change in the way Microsoft handles git installs and file ownership. I am working on a fix.
A full re-install is unavoidable for this release of Faceswap, due to moving to a more recent version of Python.

This bug should be fixed...
To pull in the update you can do:
Start > Anaconda Prompt
Code: Select all
conda activate faceswap
cd faceswap
git pull
If you get an error about folder ownership, you can copy and paste the command it gives you to fix and then run git pull again
