We see that FMOD crashes on start up, on XBox One, before we start the game. Is there any gotchas we should look out for?

That is odd. Does it crash in FMOD or in UE4? If it crashes in FMOD then the best bet is to contact support and provide the crash mini-dump, so we can check what is going on.

Actually this is a red herring. Those crashes are present but are not causing fatal crashes down stream. May come back and revisit but we’ve pulled FMOD out of the game and still seeing crashes elsewhere.
