Faceswap Forum

In my users/appdata/temp folder, the above listed file is showing as in use and crashes the process after 1500 or so iterations. Early phase, still on "warp". The file isn't there when I go look and seems to be related directly to faceswap. This was running while I was away from the computer for the last hour or so which is why I don't think any other programs got in the way. Nothing but some web browsers and such open.

I've had this problem before, but it appears to be consistent.

I do not know what that file is, but it will be generated by scipy (a library we use in data augmentation).

As it comes from a library we use, rather than from Faceswap itself, I'm not sure there is much we can do to mitigate the issue.

Searching the forum it appears you have raised this before:
viewtopic.php?p=9203#p9203

However, I have not heard of any other similar issues from other users, and as this appears in training, it is highly likely we would have heard about it if the problem was universal.

Ultimately, Windows is a massive PITA when it comes to file permissions/sharing/locking. The most likely cause of your issue is going to be some other service accessing the file, which locks Faceswap out from it. That may be a virus scanner, or a cloud manager or some other process that we have no control over.

Unfortunately this is all I can really give you. You would need to find what on your system is trying to access that file and either disable it or add an exception.

It only made it about 100 more iterations before crashing again.

Again at 2001 its.

scipy-cgk40_w2 @ 3001 its

scipy-5ekc3fh2 @ 3252

And so on.

Ok, that helps. I think I can debug a bit now and hopefully will find something. Thanks for the help

For whatever reason, either setting python and faceswap to run as admin or setting it to save every 1000 iterations seems to have helped.
