Problem on Anki Addon Startup

drewpterry

Hi, when I try to start Anki after adding add-on I get this error and the add-on does not work. Any help would be appreciated. (I also brought up the problem here in this thread but no one responded):

An add-on you installed failed to load. If problems persist, please go to the Tools>Add-ons menu, and disable or delete the add-on.

I can confirm that downgrading to 2.1.49 solved this problem on my Intel Mac.
