Hello, I sometimes work with 2 different FMOD studio projects open at the same time, as I am transferring audio and events between the two projects.

It’s not the end of the world, but FMOD studio seems to always freeze and becomes unresponsive after exiting or closing down one of the projects windows, which means I have force close and then spend time opening both projects again. Would be lovely to get this fixed for the next version!

Happy to provide more information if needed.

/Magnus

Hi Magnus,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue on my end yet. Could you please share the following details:

- The exact FMOD Studio version number ( you can found it under `Help > About FMOD Studio`)
- Your operating system (Windows / macOS / Linux)

Hello,

I see, yeah it happens every time for everyone in the team I work in. Maybe it is the huge projects (we are talking +10 years of audio production). The 2nd project started out as the first and original project, it was then duplicated to be worked on as a separate project, I don’t know if that affects it.

Both projects are 2.03.08 and we are using Windows 11.

Sorry for the late response, and thank you for providing the additional details!

I was able to reproduce the hang you described when working with large projects.

I’ve created a task and passed it on to the dev team for further investigation.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
