Decimator keeps crashing

So I bought the Decimator plug in, as hey, I figure it can help me cram more figures into a scene so I can do more stuff with crowds.
I fire it up, and right after I hit the 'Decimate' button... DAZ crashes.
It's done this several times since then. Like about 5 times last I counted.
Only once was I able to get it to work properly, and that was with one character and several background elements. Like... what's up with that? I'm glad I didn't pay the $40-odd that it was on sale for (I got it during the DO sale a couple days ago) because otherwise I'd be really ticked off right now. -_-; I've heard it's kind of tetchy with Genesis, but I tried to use it with Genesis 2 and Genesis 3 characters and items, if that makes any difference.
And for those wondering about my tech specs: Mac OSX Sierra, 32GB RAM, Daz Studio Pro 4.9, ADM Radeon graphics card

Wow... I guess no one else has this problem.
Sent a request off to technical support, but all I got was a generic "Please read these links to see if this addresses your issue" reply and none of which addressed Decimator.
FWIW, I tried using a bog standard Genesis figure, and it managed to get to the decimation sliders... and it crashed.
Sigh. I'm grateful I only dropped $12 on it instead of the $40 it was going for, but I think at this point, I might as well just call it a loss and ask for some store credit to chuck at March Madness instead. :/
I haven't used decimator often, but I've never encountered a crash with it. $12 for it is a steal. I suppose if it never works for you, then not worth $12. But if it works 50% of the time, it's worth $12 imo. :)
