Image decompression doesn’t work in exported builds

The decompress function is described as follows:

docs.godotengine.org:

Error decompress()

Decompresses the image if it is VRAM compressed in a supported format. Returns @GlobalScope.OK if the format is supported, otherwise @GlobalScope.ERR_UNAVAILABLE.

Note: The following formats can be decompressed: DXT, RGTC, BPTC. The formats ETC1 and ETC2 are not supported.

However, the decompress function may still return ERR_UNAVAILABLE anyway when the game is exported, because not all of the image compression and decompression libraries are included in export builds:

clayjohn:

Looks like most of the image compression/decompression libraries aren’t included in export builds.

If you are trying to decompress an image previously compressed by Image.compress, it appears that only COMPRESS_S3TC can be decompressed at runtime with the default export template.
