rpg text is lagging and looping on more adult interactives and dodging blatant gory material like Fallout bloody mess art. did all the servers got another delayed transfer???

In recent days text generators do not work properly, even in idea generate section, It takes hours and finally produces nothing. Please inspect it. Thanks.

I pray that this is only temporary, because for weeks now the image quality has been extremely poor, making the results unusable. Despite careful prompts and using the “Professional Photo” mode, human bodies are only rendered as 1950s pin-ups with uniform brown-beige plastic skin, and the faces all look the same, like sticker doll masks. Damn, it used to be so good and it was so interesting to create individual, distinctive human characters! I really hope that at least the previous quality will be restored! Thank you for your work!

Thanks for the update and for your work, Dev! Also, can you enlighten us about the context text window? Should we expect any developments, or is it a long shot?

Hello, with all due respect, AI Story Generator is totally terrible right now.

Right now the model is straight up nonsense, ingoring the whole plotline, outputting texts that has just no correlation to the previous ones, jumping scenes without being told to, or refusing to change a scene and follow the new one, etc. It ignores already existing context and details, also makes characters know things they very clearly should not. A few months ago it worked relatively fine, even with the new AI being sometwhat bad at storytelling, now it's plainly dumb, ignoring the user, and even totally senseless.

Perchance images now look very different and low brightness. Why is Perchance update quality always in negative ??

Thanks for making a wonderful facility for us. FYI, T2I is really awesome on Perchance. Keep up the great work!

So much 'technical difficulties' for a week now. Everything is so slow now. Please fix!

Thanks dev! There are actually two questions many of us have,

1. The already mentioned context window (this was the one thing we hoped most for) and
2. Which model did you choose (so we can look for workarounds easier)?

Thanks for all your hard work! I really noticed the text gen getting better little by little. Besides the hyperfixations and repetitions you mentioned there is also the on-off problem of following the prompt and writing instructions, other than this I've noticed only minor quirks (ignorable for me as the other problems are more important).

Do take your time with it, but i personally preferred the old ai somehow..? It just seemed..much better at following instructions fully without trying to hallucinate things? But the more intelligent part is definitely better, still would've been cool if there was an option to use the old ai (⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠)

Why perchance developer is lying?? Fine detail and overall image quality didn't improve but it only became worse. And it's clearly not 2x faster only slightly faster. Text rendering may be better that is all. So now ai chat is very broken and ai image is very worse. Perchance's update quality is in negative. 👎

Thank you so much for the update and for all your hard work! I'm grateful to know that you are reading user feedback.

By and large, I've been really happy with the new text gen. When it works well, it works really, really well. There have been a few times that it was working amazingly and I was really impressed by the quality -- times where it took a really complex scenario and performed beautifully, picked up on foreshadowing, did a great job at portraying nuanced characters and writing realistic in-character dialogue, etc. with minimal corrections needed.

I also already find it a huge improvement from the old model in almost every single way, outside of times the model starts severely and repeatedly hallucinating. More than anything else, I'm so, so glad that it isn't afraid of dark themes like the old model was. I love that if I give a character a dark backstory, it will sometimes add to and embellish it, and will also bring those details up when relevant of its own accord (without me having to repeatedly instruct and nag it to do so). So I've been really happy with the update!

Can we get an option to switch between the new and the old model?

Lo, the Savior hath spoken... Thank you savior. Can't for the improved text to image gen.

Hi Dev!! Personally I think the new text model is a HUGE improvement over the old one. The story maker has gotten worlds better! If you think it can be improved that's AWESOME! I look forward to that. Don't beat yourself up or take anyone's negativity too seriously, you're making a really cool resource for free and that's really cool.

What is multiplayer plugin and database plugin actually?

glad to know! need more Dev posts been a while

Take your time. As an old FORTRAN coder, I know too well the headaches. You'll get it right. Only gripe I have is that sometimes it bogs down to nothing. Like yesterday, it was doing fine, but today, I think it's protesting the cold, because it takes almost three minutes to generate one paragraph. You got this.

That's fantastic news. There's moments perch really shines and you can see some fantastic quality and to have that all the time would be heaven.

Good good.

Perchance is so cool, thank you for your work

Dear Dev, if you are reading this, I cannot continue my stories until I see a major improvement on the text model that happend to me and majority of us users back in September of last year, I have been using Perchance for nearly two years now, I am not being mean, I am just trying to be nice, I cannot stand the aggressiveness of the characters. Thank you.

It's like at 11:30AM, someone just flipped a switch... deny all other users. Was working fine, then BAM, "anti-bot blah blah blah" and nothing loads. Is it unregulated testing being done in the live environment, or is it intentional ?!?

The model has been performing really poorly for the past month and a half.

Lately yhe images generated are very poor . All my seed are not able to keep the same face or scenario

still waiting on the text gens to finish syncing up of my old stories and the rpgs. image mdels are a little out of sync and try to MERGE characters with background, I prompted that NOT to happen but it did anyways and the video...are they still on the back burner?

Are you keeping the previous model as well.

As per my post, https://lemmy.world/post/42586080 The image generator was changed around early 2025 without a reason why. Did you get spooked about what people are generating?

Why not keep the old image generator along with the new one. If people like one more over the other, then the other one won't get as much traffic and so keeping both doesn't necessarily mean double the load.

I have been grateful for this free service. But providing a free service is not sacred. People should be able to give feedback on changes.

No problem, wait as long as necessary. I've been with Perchance for a while now and I won't leave it in difficulties. Keep calm.

I'm just happy to hear you're still working on it and giving it attention. What is new with the text gen exactly? I have yet to notice any difference, but maybe I'm not looking in the right places...
