I follow the tutorials on the blender wiki, and when I try to bake, it says “failed to initialize” or something… how can I fix this?
I got the same thing going on… HelP!
Ditto for me: “Fluidsim bake error: failed to initialize.”
you might need to set a directory for the files to go
I do set a directory, but it doesn’t work :(.
I tried decreasing the quality but it still doesnt help, still Failed to initialize…blah blah blah
Hi 
I've got the same problem, and i have try to change the directory, making as simple as : c:/test (with the slash one the good side) and still don't work. I hate when i follow religiously a tutorial and that it dosen't work for me :(...
i’ve got a double pentium 2.4, 1gig of ram… so i don’t know what wrong… It even not doing the first frame :(.
Have a very happy new year by the way everyone
CREATED ‘C:/test/test-fluidesfluidsim.cgf’ deleting…
CREATED "C:/test/test-fluidesfluidcfgdata_OBSphere.bobj.gz’ deleting…
Don’t say, the slash are in the right position, sorry i don’t know how to put it when i write :).
That special that the program delete the file before working on it…
I’ve got python 2.4
I’ve got windows xp by the way, i know that i usually cannot read “gz” files usually…
any suggestions?
Does anyone have an answer for this??
There’s some possible causes, but more importantly, this is most likely fixed in 2.41!!!
Make sure you don’t have and weird characters (like the “+”-sign) in any of your objects/meshes/output dirs. This was fixed in 2.41 too though!!!
Ive upgraded to 2.41 Well it worked once but I dint have it set up right and now it gives me the same error… And what does it say about it all??? “OK” Its not ok its annoying!
