Hello,
I am using the latest FMOD Studio version, 2.03.08, on mac. Most actions in FMOD cause the program to become unresponsive for around a minute or more while the cursor pinwheel spins. For example, I create a new event, and it takes 2 minutes, and during that 2 minutes FMOD is unresponsive. Then, I try to rename the event and it takes another minute to do so. This happens in a new project, even with no assets. Uploading assets takes a minute; creating a sheet takes a minute; even simply saving the project takes a minute. Additionally, I tried using 2.02.29, and I still had the same issue.
I couldn’t find anyone else with the same issue online, so I am posting this here to hopefully get some help.
Thank you
Hi,
Thank you for sharing the information and version number!
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue on my end. Could I please grab a bit more info about your Mac? Specifically:
- Your macOS version
- Whether you’re using an Intel or Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) Mac
In the meantime, I did come across a similar case that might be relevant. Some users have reported sluggish performance on macOS being temporarily resolved by enabling “Low Resolution Mode” for FMOD Studio via Finder. You can find the suggestion here:
FMOD Studio 2.00.07 being very laggy on iMac 2017 27" 4K - #10 by mrmiller
Could you please give that a try to see if the issue persists?
I am using macOS Sonoma 14.6 on an Apple Silicon (M2) Mac. There is no option to open FMOD Studio in “Low Resolution Mode.” I also tried manually editing the Info.plist in the app contents.
I changed “<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <string>True</string>” to “<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key> <string>False</string>”, but it did not resolve the issue.
I also tried simply adding “<false/>” after the “<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key>”, but that did not work either.
