What typescript version are you using?

Hi, @RaananW

I’m also facing this issue. and I’m using v4.1.5 of TypeScript and v5.0.0 of BabylonJs.
Getting the same issues as asked.

Is there anything possible without upgrading typescript version.?

You can define those missing types globally, which should work, but I would recommend upgrading typescript because those types were added to the ts libs
