Hello,  
After the first client connects to the dedicated server, the server will crash, pointing at an Exeption thrown inside the FMODAudioComponent.cpp (l. 384):

Unfortunately, nothing is output in the server logfile.  
Callstack:

It looks like it has something to do with fmod dll’s, but i can’t seen to figure out what the exact problem is and how to fix it.  
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I believe we’ve tracked this down thanks to @mpactmatt and others, we’re working on a fix now which will be included in the next release.

This issue is being discussed in [fmodL.dll crashes the game on UE4.26](https://qa.fmod.com/t/fmodl-dll-crashes-the-game-on-ue4-26/16954) so I’ll lock this thread to keep discussion in one place.
