Stable Diffusion is loading....

Running engine 3.5 or 4.0 start.sh runs and brings up the webpage. In the upper right it states Stable Diffusion is loading .... and it never loads. I can not generate any images. On the terminal screen I get the following ╭────────────────────────── Easy Diffusion is ready ───────────────────────────╮ │ │ │ Easy Diffusion is ready to serve requests. │ │ │ │ A new browser tab should have been opened by now. │ │ If not, please open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:9000/ │ │ │ ╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: I change the settings to V 3.5 or V 4 and restart and it does not finish loading. I used V3.0 and restart, it works fine

Expected behavior I expect to behave as in V3.0 and state stable diffusion is ready. And then I expect to be able to generate an image
