Cannot downgrade MacOS 12.3.1 to 12.2.1 - ETA for fix please

NOTE: Indigo 2022.1 has solved the compatibility issue with macOS Monterey 12.3+.

I have upgraded to MacOS 12.3.1 yesterday and my house is now dead.
Google informs me that a retrospective Time Machine backup will not work for previous MacOS version 12.2.1.
I booted my MAC onto a USB stick containing MacOS 12.2.1 only to be notified that I cannot downgrade to that version, only reformat.
I reinstalled Python 2 and recreated all the necessary symbolic links but still could not get Indigo server to start on Monterey 12.3.1.

As I am now stuck in this position, please can I have an ETA for a compatible version of Indigo for Monterey 12.3.1? Beta is fine.

Thank you

You should have read the warning.
Why update the OS on a "critical" machine even before reading if the most important SW runs fine? :roll:

Based on some of the plugin updates coming out “ready for 12.3” I presume some of the plugin authors have it, so I guess it can’t be far off.

That said, they’re highly unlikely to issue a beta to end users as a workaround to the situation you find yourself in.

If you've got an older Mac around you can install temporarily on that.

You can monitor the Announcements Forum (you can subscribe to email notifications for it by clicking on the green button with your username on it in the upper right corner and selecting Subscribe Forum) - that is the first place we post about new releases, and we'll also be providing some updates as things progress.
