Quartus Pro programmer fails: "sof is incompatible".

Hi, I recently installed Quartus Prime Pro 22.2 (using Win 10) and opened a project. I updated all the IP and re-compiled from the beginning, successfully generating an sof. There were no errors...

After trying a lot of things I finally got the compile and programming to go through. I'm not 100% sure what fixed it, but I'm guessing that it was either that I manually regenerated (fully) all the IP, or that I removed a setting from the QSF file. The setting was:

# Global setting
# I saw a note in the F-tile user guide that inappropriately setting this might cause a config error (p52).
# But that might just be if the power/gnd pins are tied off.
