The error looks like this one that was recently fixed in the private builds.  I don't know when the next public release will be.  Do you have your language set to something other than English?

• Status changed from New to Need Info

[martinrv]

Yes, it's in Spanish and so is the Mac OS, I changed it back to English and it works, but my kid is 6 years old and his English is at a beginners level 
Are there any solutions?

[rob1221]

There aren't any workarounds that I'm aware of.  Since it's a toolset change (which isn't open source like the engine) there isn't code you can edit on your end.
