P3R: Audio track replacement mod suddenly stopped functioning #857

First time GitHub poster, apologies for not following the template exactly, I'm just not sure how to fit this or what information/files could help with this bizarre issue. If this does not belong here, I apologize for my cluelessness.

Describe the Bug
Mod that replaces Mass Destruction (Reloaded) with a fanmade remix that keeps the Reloaded music/verses but swaps the chorus to the original vocals, stopped working. Mod link: https://gamebanana.com/sounds/73152 . Mod has not been updated at all in two years, so I presume the issue must be an update to either P3R itself breaking compatibility or Reloaded II.

Went on vacation for weeks, did not touch PC. Returned, started P3R in a Tartarus save, engaged in "SEES Advantage" battles without issue, standard P3R track "It's Going Down" plays. Entered a "neutral" battle or Shadow Advantage battle, where the modded Mass Destruction remix should play, and game freezes during the silhouette-transition-to-battle screen, crashes to desktop.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Fresh P3R install.
  2. Install the MD Remix mod (https://gamebanana.com/sounds/73152) and the associated Ryo Framework
  3. Launch game via Reloaded II (necessary for mod to work)
  4. Enter any Tartarus battle in "neutral" or Shadow Advantage.
  5. Instead of MDRemix playing, game will CTD.

Expected Behaviour
For the last two years, mod has worked without issue whatsoever when launched through Reloaded II. "Neutral"/Shadow Advantage battle starts, the replacement track plays as expected.

Things I've Attempted/Narrowed Down
-CTD only occurs if mod enabled. If disabled, game plays without issues, regular P3R Mass Destruction plays.
-CTD only occurs when entering a "neutral" or Shadow advantage battle. Even if mod enabled, all SEES advantage battles will play normally, as will "It's Going Down".
-Tried fresh install of mod, no fix. As mentioned, mod itself has not been touched or updated at all in 2 years.
-Tried disabling and re-enabling mod. No fix.
-Updated all dependencies. No fix.
-Ensured all dependencies were above this mod in the load order. No fix.
-Uninstalled P3R, all mods, and Reloaded II, re-installed all three. No fix.

My amateur, uninformed suspicion is like i said, the only things that have changed are P3R updates and Reloaded II updates so... I assume the issue must lie somewhere there. If this all incorrect, feel free to close/delete. Willing to provide whatever logs/screenshots needed.
