ComfyUI crashes due to invalid or unsupported data type Float8_e4m3fn.

^{Originally posted by **Benix-laj** October 23, 2024}
So I've just installed ComfyUI and ComfyUI manager, and downloaded resources for the Flux fp8 model. When I try to queue a prompt the miniconda terminal crashes due to invalid or unsupported data type Float8_e4m3fn so the process stops, and I get no image. I've got an AMD card (6800 XT) . I don't really understand any of the things I'm doing, I'm just trying to get the AI model running :/. It gave the same error without the manager too, so the installation of the manager shouldn't be a problem.

I installed ComfyUI based on this tutorial (miniconda, git, directml):

Here is the Flux workflow I use:

Here's the list of links of the resources I downloaded for flux:
