Hey!
Ive been trying to get fmod working for a while now. It keeps crashing at launch. I never see any visuals appearing before it suddenly gets a not responding message.
I tried to move my plugins folder (vst), i tried to delete everything in (‘/Users/MyUser/Library/Application Support/FMOD Studio’), I tried to reinstall the application. The logs say nothing extraordinary (at least from what I can see). The log is copy-pasted below. Is there anything else to do?
