Stable Diffusion with Automatic1111 crashing

However, several users (1,2,3,4,5) have been reporting various crashing issues in the Stable Diffusion with Automatic1111 for a number of weeks now.

I’m crashing after generating a large number of images and it seems after running automatic1111 that my league of legends will also crash often. I have a 3080 ti with up-to-date drivers but it seems there is a memory leak I can’t escape. Is there anything I can do about this?

Automatic1111 is a mess right now
Since the last update it is now barely functional. Crashes every few minutes, many LORAs don’t work, other various functions don’t work or stop working.

Reports indicate that the website loads up without issue at first after completing all the instructions to get Automatic1111 up and running, but it crashes shortly after.

Some even receive a ‘Deforum Error: ‘eta must be 0 for reverse sampling’. Check your schedules/ init values please. Also make sure you don’t have a forward slash in any of your PATHs – use / instead of \’ error message.

It is so frustrating for users as the platform crashes while doing almost anything.
