DMDext 2.5 and error "DAX error: external exception E044352"

[OzMagic]

Hello,

I am posting here because I haven't been able to find a solution on GitHub or in other forum threads.
I want to use the new Serum colorizations with zeDMD (using a real DMD) and the new version of dmdext (v2.5).
After installing the new version of DMDext (v2.5 ZIP), an error message—"DAX error: external exception E044352"—appears when I launch PinupPopper v1.5. I click OK and PinupPopper launches, but I no longer see anything on my real DMD (no animations at all) while in the menus.
I have no issues with VPX 10.8 (64-bit) and in-game animations work fine; however, as soon as I exit the table and return to the menu, the problem recurs..
Reverting to version 2.3.1 works (though I cannot get Serum V2 files to work).
I have tried reinstalling Visual C++, etc.
I'm running out of ideas, and I was advised to ask here since the issue seems to stem from Pinup (and its interface with DMDext).

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm seeing that this is still an issue. Did you find any solution?
