2.5.5: unable to export or render

tested with LW 9.6 and 10.0. FIRE is working great, but if I try to export, a file is created, but it's empty (no object, no camera, etc.) when I open it in studio. If I try to render from LW, maxwell opens and i get a mxs file open error (C.//***/***.tpm cannot be read).
I quite puzzled, since I tried to uninstall and reinstall plugins, even a clean reinstall of LW cannot solve this issue.

Edit: I checked the files created with new plugin in notepad and compared them with older (working) mxs files and I'm all the more puzzled since they do look similar. For instance, geometry data seems exported somehow (i can tell that by file size), even if Maxwell cannot open the mxs.

What version does Maxwell report when you start it up? When this happens, it usually means you're using an outdated version of Maxwell.

It's difficult to test because I have a crash, but export does not work either and though a file is created, it opens as an empty scene in studio 2.5.
