ComfyUI update causes slow launches and FaceRefine missing-node errors

Xo0om · reddit · 2026-10-22

A user reports that after updating ComfyUI to run Moss Image, every launch, restart, or browser refresh became painfully slow: startup tasks show complete, but the window stays empty until another refresh eventually loads it.

The log shows a RuntimeError saying ComfyUI-H3-FaceRefine is not installed, with the IAMCCSMiniMaxH3FaceDeliveryR38B node failing to load info — yet the author never recalls installing or needing FaceRefine, and their MM H3 workflow still works. The post closes with the familiar complaint that every ComfyUI update breaks something.
