    @JustMaier I'm not sure how often you check discord. I sent you a message on there if you have a few moments.

    I can't select this in my A1111. I select it from the checkpoints available, and then immediately it goes back to the last checkpoint used. Anyone know why?

    That's really weird, I'm not sure why that would happen. I use it in A1111 too and don't run into that issue. It's an SDXL endpoint, so if A1111 hasn't been updated in the last month or so that might be the cause?

    @moesah ok so I updated, and now when I select your checkpoint, it loads for a long time then goes back to the preselected one lol. It must be some kind of bad setting on my end, oh well thanks for trying to help!

    @duskfall1989310 Did you check in the CMD window to see if there is some kind of message when you try to load the model?

    @duskfall1989310 There is a bug on AMD GPUs with this, are you using one of those? If it is the case, look at https://githubhelp.com/automatic1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issues/11835

    @Aerth I'm on intel, I think the issue is I have a weak card (1080)

    Visual quality is excellent but it makes a lot of old school mistakes like extra limbs, extra faces in tails, etc.. Good for a work in progress.
