[Bug]: CodeFormer does not work anymore

Checklist

• The issue exists after disabling all extensions
• The issue exists on a clean installation of webui
• The issue is caused by an extension, but I believe it is caused by a bug in the webui
• The issue exists in the current version of the webui
• The issue has not been reported before recently
• The issue has been reported before but has not been fixed yet

What happened?

I think the ZLUDA upgrades broke Codeformer, if you try to use it it fails with NVRTC_ERROR_INVALID_PROGRAM. It did work just fine until the zluda upgrades at the end of last year/start of this year got released. I tried a clean install with the current version, did not work. Tried newest ZLUDA Version (https://github.com/lshqqytiger/ZLUDA/releases/), did not work. It worked under HIP SDK 6.1 in the past, I tried HIP SDK 6.1 and 6.2 and does not work under both versions.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Go to extras tab in the webui and try to use CodeFormer (only CodeFormer checkmarked)
2. Press Generate
3. Error

What should have happened?

CodeFormer should work.

What browsers do you use to access the UI ?

I had the same problem, adding
--use-cpu codeformer
to your commandline_args should get things humming again. It's a workaround, not a fix, but it's not stupid when it works :)
