PCI Express Avalon-MM High-Performance DMA Reference Design for Stratix V does not compile.

The compilation of the PCI Express Avalon-MM High-Performance DMA Reference Design for Stratix V fails in Quartus Prime Standard Edition 18.1. The errors say that the IP components need to be upgrade...

is it a QAR or a zip file? If zip, you can open the QSF file and check the version used.

If QAR, once you able to open with quartus, you also can open the QSF to check.

    The Avalon-MM design file is a .QAR zip file.

    The .QSF file says the original Quartus version is 18.1.0 which is the version that I have installed. I have no idea why the design does not work, the software is the right version but the design fails to compile and says that the IP needs to be updated which also fails. Additionally, I tried a different IP design for Stratix V and that one also failed to compile, because the design was "too big for the FPGA" and used too many pins. Both of these designs are specific for my FPGA and my software but nothing actually works. Please help.
