Unreal version: 4.18.3

FMOD works correctly in the Unreal editor, but when I test my deployed game, there is no FMOD sound played.

I tried everything I can do, like adding “FMODStudio” in PublicDependencyModuleNames (\*.build.cs), or “IFMODStudioModule::Get();” in game mode constructor.

Here is my configuration:

Can you build in development mode and see if there are any errors or warning in the games log file?

In debug mode, the game won’t start:

I believe this issue occurs when GetModuleChecked is called very early, before the FMOD Integration has had a chance to load.

This has been fixed in 1.10.05.

Now the game starts, but the problem is still there.

Fortunally there are logs. It seems that the event system look for not deployed files. Or I need to start FMod before game mode, if I look closer to my previous logs, the class ADummySpawner is loaded before. I keep digging.

This is not a complete solution, but I removed any dependency to Blueprints classes in my C++ code, so FMOD wasn’t needed early anymore. And it works.

I believe the “Couldn’t find file” errors are caused by using the top level ‘FMOD’ folder in the Additional Non-Asset Directories to Package/Copy.  
On a side note, only use Package or Copy not both as it is essentially adding the files to the built game twice.  
The reason we use the top level folder, is because we cannot specify different paths for each platform from a plugin. This can be achieved by modifying/creating config files for each platform in your project.

After looking into this further, it is definitely something we could document a bit better.  
I have made a task to add this to the docs.

This is what you should see in the DefaultGame.ini (among other things):  
“[ProjectDirectory]/Saved/Config/DefaultGame.ini”  
`
[/Script/UnrealEd.ProjectPackagingSettings]
+DirectoriesToAlwaysStageAsUFS=(Path=“FMOD”)
`

Using these config files you can specify the exact bank folder to use for each platform.  
eg. FMOD/PS4, FMOD/Mobile, etc.
