Getting the same error no matter which settings I put into the plugin. Please see picture. Also, the version in the plugin manager is not the same as the version stated in the plugin GUI

You are using version 1.4.0 - see the screenshot you posted:

I think your PCB has a custom DRC rule that contains comments. But I can't be sure as you didn't include all the files to reproduce the problem. Version 1.5.0 supports comments in custom rules.

It says 1.4.0 in the plugin, but 1.5.0 in the plugin manager...

It has. I removed them and it is working now. Thanks, this solves my main issue. Still it looks like the plugin manager shows a different version than the gui...

Trust me, you have version 1.4.0 installed. Due to the limitation of KiCAD plugins, we cannot automatically upgrade the KiKit backend (and all its dependencies). See https://yaqwsx.github.io/KiKit/latest/installation/upgrading/

Thank you for your quick answer, I will follow the indications for upgrading
