ADIOS2 .bp file error in ParaView (Windows) with DFG 2D-3 tutorial

Hi,
I’m running the Test problem 2: Flow past a cylinder (DFG 2D-3 benchmark) from the FEniCSx tutorials and writing output using VTXWriter in .bp format.

At the final steps of the simulation, when trying to open the .bp files in ParaView on Windows, I get the following error:

ERROR: In vtkADIOS2VTXReader.cxx, line 99

I would still like to find a way to make it work properly on Windows, if possible.
Does anyone know the cause?
Thanks!

This seems like a Paraview issue, see: Paraview does not work with VTXWriter on 3rd order elements - #4 by Ignatii for a workaround .
