Substance Painter 2018 incompatible with 3D Community Assets

Question

Have had this problem for a while now and I assume it's simply because my SP version is too old. However, Is there a way to import the new materials (spsm) in particular from 3D Community Assets to a old version of SP. Because everytime I do that (either manually or via the import content) I recieve the error:
[Data Preset] Invalid preset resource://

Since 2018 was owned by Allegorithmic and the newer versions by Adobe I assume they restructured the way files are imported and read, but I find it incredibly annoying that Adobe would make sure older versions of the program cannot be used with new content.

Hello @incentions83872999,

Thanks for the message.

I'm afraid there's no workaround to what you're looking for. To be fair, it has always worked that way and the same thing goes for .SBSAR. If the file contains features that aren't available in your current SP version, it won't be possible to load the file.

It's due to the Substance Engine that we're updating at almost all releases.

Regards,
