Strange, just tried creating two new Godot (v. 4.2.1) projects on a Mac, and installed the addon via the assetlib on one, and via a GitHub release on the other. Didn't see any issues when enabling the addon or when running an example scene in either project.

It does sound similar to #177, and a problem I've seen previously.

Does your Mac have an M-series chip, or one of the older Intel ones?

Oh I tested it now with a new project with Forward + options on and there it works fine. Could it be that in compatible mode for graphics the plugin is not working?

[wheatzman]

Ok yes its related to the render mode, tested it, and in case of compatible mode i am not able to enable the plugin and than this errors appear

I suspect it's a Mac issue with Godot, though I'm not sure what the exact cause is.

Could it be that in compatible mode for graphics the plugin is not working?

Yes, it seems to be exclusive to Compatability mode on Mac. Have not been able to replicate it on Linux, at least.

From a quick test, it seems like installation is only a problem if done so when in Compatibility mode. If it is installed while in Forward+, then switch to Compatability it looks like it's running fine. That said, the 3D example scenes don't load, as mentioned in #177.

I did also experience an issue with importing .svg files a while back, where I had to reimport them manually to resolve it. But hasn't appeared since then.

This fundamentally sounds like an engine bug, but it's not ideal still, given it's an issue that happens so early on in the process. Am not entirely sure if there's a way around that aside from waiting for a Godot fix, unfortunately...

Ok. Yes not that much open source developer on macos :-D. Maybe I can figure this out, than I will came back to u about this. Thanks for ur help

Closing this in favour of #177 as the two issues are by all accounts related to the same root problem.
