Vdmx6 ( 1.1.8 ) Crashing on start - macOS 15.5 - M2 MAX

was working perfectly and had been putting off updating to 15.5 from 15.2 .

updated to 15.5 and it now crashes after building shaders ???

I can’t post the apple log cuz it is too long . any help ?

first few lines of the crash report
can confirm it crashes with 1.1.7 with similar report!

ran apple system diagnostic and hardware came back fine!
