    πŸ”§ Troubleshooting

    Common Issues

    1. ❌ Nodes not appearing in ComfyUI

    # Check if models are downloaded
    python test_installation.py
    
    # Download missing models
    python download_models.py
    
    # Restart ComfyUI completely
    

    2. ❌ "ControlNet model not found" error

    # Verify ControlNet models are in correct location
    ls ComfyUI/models/controlnet/
    
    # Should show these 4 files:
    # control_v11p_sd15_scribble.pth
    # control_v11f1p_sd15_depth.pth  
    # control_v11p_sd15_normalbae.pth
    # control_v11p_sd15_openpose.pth
    
    # If missing, download them:
    python download_models.py
    

    3. ❌ Installation fails

    # Check Python version
    python --version  # Must be 3.8+
    
    # Check available space (need 6GB+)
    # Windows: dir
    # Linux/Mac: df -h
    
    # Manual dependency install
    pip install torch torchvision --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121
    

    4. ❌ GPU not detected

    # Check CUDA
    nvidia-smi
    python -c "import torch; print(torch.cuda.is_available())"
    
    # Update GPU drivers if needed
    

    5. ❌ Low performance

    • Enable GPU acceleration in settings
    • Reduce video resolution/quality
    • Increase cache size limits
    • Close other GPU-intensive applications
    • Run: python test_installation.py to check GPU memory

    6. ❌ Memory issues

    • Reduce batch size in node configuration
    • Enable intelligent caching
    • Use FP16 precision if supported
    • Check available GPU memory: nvidia-smi

    πŸ§ͺ Full System Test

    Run comprehensive test to identify issues:
