UPDATE 10th November 2025 - Model Sampling Aura Flow Error.

It seems the recent ComfyUI Update also broke the nodes from this workflow here, not only from Wan 2.2. I updated all 4 workflows (2 for free members and 2 slightly improved versions for paid users you can find in the Bonus Link). Everything should work fine now!
