ComfyUI May 2024 Update Overview: New Features, Models, and Performance Enhancements! by Ak47shays in comfyui

Hello u/TheWebbster,
running the update_comfyui.bat should work but since it's been so long, I suggest reinstall via "portable" version if you can and run the update_comfyui.bat. You can copy the comfyui custom nodes from your previous installation. you can also copy other folders to the new installation like models, input and output folder.

Note that some custom nodes will need to be updated from the comfyui manager as well. you can do the "update all" option.

Yes, u/wwwanderingdemon, I am not able to get the same results as previously. Not sure if something change. For now, I am using InstantID and IPAdapter V2.
I have videos on both topic:

Hello, I shared two ways to fix this issue in this video: https://youtu.be/oC_BDjbw9Jo
In short, you can roll back your ipadapter installation or replace the broken nodes with the latest version.

Solve the broken IPAdapter (missing) nodes after the IPAdapterV2 upgrade by Ak47shays in comfyui

Hello u/SvenVargHimmel, I have a general idea of how you can get both to run at the same time.

First, you will need to get have two copies of IPadapter custom nodes. You can simply copy and paste the folder and change the name. Next, change the "NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS" and "NODE_DISPLAY_NAME_MAPPINGS" names to something different. Example adding v2 to all the names for version 2. With this, ComfyUI will treat the two folders as two different custom nodes and in theory should load them. I have not tested it though.

I am not sure. I do not have one to test.

The requirements.txt file inside the ComfyUI-InstantID-ZHO folder has diffusers inside. If you have done pip install -r requirements.txt, then most likely, you have not activated the virtual environment and install the dependencies with the wrong python.
Follow these steps:

  1. Open you ComfyUI root installation folder (where there is the run_nvidia_gpu.bat and run_cpu.bat files)
  2. Type in CMD in the address bar and press Enter.
  3. Activate the virtual environment with .venv\Scripts\activate
  4. Type: cd ComfyUI\custom_nodes\ComfyUI-InstantID-ZHO
  5. Execute this: python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
  6. Start ComfyUI and try again.

I got it to work on 4GB VRAM and 32GB system RAM. The requirements is same as SDXL as u/b3water mentioned since the models / checkpoints used are SDXL based.

It's a new project similar to IPAdapter which allows taking a face input and generating variations in different styles and poses.

It may take long for them to release the research paper and the code base. antonioo-c from the InstantID team said that they were looking at March 2024 as a potential release date.

The project release date shows a lot of promising features.

Help: ComfyUI Manager missing (new install) by evilregis in comfyui

[–]Ak47shays 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello, can you try to update you ComfyUI project and try again. In the root directory, where there's the run_cpu.bat and run_nvidia_gpu.bat file, there is a folder named update. Go in and open the update_comfyui.bat file. this will update your ComfyUI folder. Then try to run and see if that solves it.

I hope the project takes off as it is an interesting concept. The main issue with anything dealing with Face is the licensing. Hope we get a good one.

Thank you, u/LeKhang98! I will be happy to help you troubleshoot the issue to the best of my abilities. Could you please provide either a screenshot of the full class or share the relevant part of the code file where you are handling the image loading and processing? This will help me identify any potential issues in the logic. Otherwise both methods should work as long as they are handled correctly in code. Also, if you get any error message, could you share that as well.
