"KCPP SD Failed to create context!" after trying to load flux.1-schnell

Downloaded weights for FLUX.1-schnell. After that this error was shown:

Did you load the t5xxl, clip-l and vae as well? Those are required for flux.

Also make sure you load the image model in the right place (NOT the text model)

@LostRuins Nice it worked! I used quantized text encorders, so it doesn't use much space on my machine. Unfortunately the GUI only supports .safetensors, so I needed to change the file extension from .gguf to .safetensors. Could you please add support for selecting .gguf file extensions for text encoders in the launch GUI?

[LostRuins]

Oh, I didn't know anyone actually made quantized text encoders. Sure, I can do that.

Glad flux is working well for you. Do share and help others as I've noticed many people struggling to get it to work.
