You're good thank you. We'll just have to hope that Godot Engine improves with the next release. I know they're releasing 4.5 soon-ish. So when I make an update itch should notify you.

I tried it proper and besides taking an extra attempt to load, the compatibility version worked for me. I do apologize for the confusion.
