error after updating to V1.7

[Adultboy124]

Hello @lshqqytiger ,
Thank you for the new version, I had git pull in my webui bat file, it started updating, then GPU not detected error popped up, I followed the suggestion from the cmd prompt, it went through and got updated. When I tried to generate some images, this error popped up: "name 'cmd_opts' is not defined"

please guide.
Thank you,

same issue here

Added --use-directml to my command line args and it seems to be using the GPU now. (7900 XTX).

[Dshinhal]

I updated my version today with git pull and it was updated to 1.7.0 and my AMD gpu stopped working. I thought I couldn't make images anymore. but I see this and use (--use-directml) and it works again

[nhk75]

Can confirm, adding "--use-directml" fixed the issues, but had to also add "--reinstall-torch" once to get everything else working too. 7800 XT card on windows 11.

Brand new install.
If I start it with webui.bat --use-directml --reinstall-torch I got the message:
File "C:\AI\stable-diffusion-webui\modules\launch_utils.py", line 384, in prepare_environment
raise RuntimeError(
RuntimeError: Torch is not able to use GPU; add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS variable to disable this check

If I start it with webui.bat --help | findstr directml ther's nothing. No option containing directml string.

If I start it with webui.bat --use-directml --skip-torch-cuda-test got the following:

[lshqqytiger]

You cloned AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui. Not lshqqytiger/stable-diffusion-webui-directml. A1111's webui does not have DirectML support.

[Kupatov-v]

didn't help me(

launch.py: error: unrecognized arguments: --use-directml

A complete reinstallation helped, with this config

--use-directml --reinstall-torch

[Dshinhal]

I had a new problem when formatting my pc and I couldn't invoke --use-directml (if not torch.dml.has float64) but this solved it. thank you

[GriZen83]

I decided to share my experiences with the 1.7 upgrade. The upgrade was a complete failure and I recommend that anyone should wipe and install anew.
The new install failed but you can fix it, by reinstalling pytorch. And then you need to use --skip-torch-cuda-test --use-directml to get it to run.

However you have to use --precision full --no-half --no-half-vae at launch otherwise the img2img will give you errors. ultimate sd upscale gets you huge seams and squares with incorrect colors erros.

Otherwise 1.7 is a improvement in everyway, especially it fixed instability with black screens ands bsods and system hard crashes.
Speed is the same vs 1.6 so I recommend to upgrade to 1.7.

So good job @lshqqytiger, well done.

Now I am looking forward to rocm but that is in the future (in windows at least).

[pw405]

What GPU are you in @GriZen83 ? After adding the -- use DirectML, mine was working fine (7900XTX) However I wonder if Ultimate SD Upscale seams are a result of not using --precision full? I had used --precision full for a long time but recently took it out to see if it helped performance (didn't seem to matter much).

[GriZen83]

I have 7900xtx Hellhound.
It seems is likely to be caused by insufficent precision. But it may also be --no-half-vae since the colors are wrong on some with different tiles. An upscale from 512X768 to 1024X1024 6 tiles.

Strangely Sdupscale seems to work correctly, but Ultimate SD upscale does not without --precision full --no-half --no-half-vae.
My orginal parameters was ---upcast-sampling but using the new parameters works better.
And most importanly 1.7 is much more stable. It hasnt crashed yet :D

[pw405]

Ok cool, I'll have to do some tests with Ultimate SD Upscale to see if the seams issue is better the additional command line arguments. I've really been impressed by the 4X Foolhardy Remacari Upscaler... It's a 3rd party Upscaler, if I can remember later I'll dig up where I found it.

[GriZen83]

I have found that 4x_NMKD-Siax_200k is all arpund even better, especially with realworld photos but i use it with pretty all content.
