Hi, What version of FMOD are you using? ---

Especially when the event is deleted, the probability of this error is higher ---

Due to the fact that this issue only occurs when multiple people collaborate to update frequently, it is not convenient for me to reproduce this error with a new version. Currently, we use fmod to update events and restart fmod to ensure that the files are loaded correctly. ---

Hi, Unfortunately, I was not able to reproduce the issue with the following steps: Device A 1. Create a new event 2. `File -> Source Control -> Sync Latest, Merge & Commit` 3. Add a commit message and submit Device B 1. `File -> Source Control -> Sync Latest & Merge Project` 2. The new event is now present Could you please confirm what process you follow when merging and commiting? ---

Thank you for your reply, I am sure I followed the steps you mentioned. This issue often occurs when another audio source file path is changed to generate a new event,and I am confident that the old event has been deleted correctly. Finally, thank you again ---

Hi, I may have miss understood the issue. Does the error occur for `Events` in the `Event Browser` ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/2/2fd76c38084411002a021d90566bf11a55c213c0.png) Or is it happening for an `Asset` in the `Asset Browser` ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/c/cf6131a9a7bec9cd2bdb76285d0724438bfcf220.png) ---

Hi， This error occurs in the EventsEvent Browser and banks. Asset has been properly removed or changed path. ---

Like this, but it has a probability of problems, not necessarily. ---
