Hello! Am i the only one who is having this problem with 2021 version? I have a scene with liquids in 2020 and i need it to open in 2021.
Need help!

I know this doesn't solve it for you but  I'm just reporting in.

 

I have no errors like yours with Max 2021 or Max 2021.1. I 'DO' have 'MaxFluid.dlo' in the following folder without manually putting it there:

'3ds Max 2021\ApplicationPlugins\MaxFluid\Contents\bin'

 

I hope you find a solution. Maybe resetting the ENU? Search for that if you don't know how to do it. Lot's of threads on it and it solves a lot of problems sometimes.

I have a problem like this too. When I import a fluids scene from 3ds max 2020, everything works properly. But when I want to make a fluids scene in 3ds max 2021, the plugin doesn't exist.fluids_missing.jpg
