Plugin freezes C4D

I have 1.2 installed from Dazcentral.
I export a basic character from Daz using the bridge. I see the exported files sitting in the designated folder.
In both R23 and S24 clicking the "Genesis Characters" button in the plugin freezes/crashes C4D.

Seems I have got the right version in the right place now.
However, clicking that "Genesis Characters" button still freezes the software.
Further observations. Manually loading the FBX file exported from Daz C4D bridge script takes about 1 minute to open in Maya, 5 seconds to open in Blender (although apears as a mangled mess) and going on 20 minutes for C4D to open. I think it is not going to open the file at this point.
tried v1.3.0,
spent a few hours troubleshooting it,
unable to get it working,
time better spend elsewhere at this point,
on to something else.
Only time it works for me - unless it's actually a Genesis character (Or, apparently, one using the tech even if it's not got Genesis in the description) is if I use "Environments and Props".
Doing so sadly horribly botches the rig - messed up weighting, all joints oriented the same, etc - and won't create a Morph Tag.... But it loads it at least.
