The clue might be in the names... 1022 exporter works with 2.2 and although the 2.3 version is 'in progress' 1022 should usually work OK with a new OCS made in that newer version too. But it's untried on 2.4...

Are you staring with a fresh 2.4 based OCS? Is your geometry near the SKP origin? Are you exporting the camera ? etc - We need a few more clues from you too.... :?

Use the latest version of the exporter.
If you do not export anything all you get in the export is the OBJ/MTL/Textures.
The OCS opens using the default camera placed/looking at the origin, also there is basic lighting set.
Try exporting it again with export-camera [say 50% resolution for speed] and export-lighting both checked.
See what happens...

After you have the view/lighting as wanted in the OCS you can uncheck those options and export just the current geometry and new materials...
