I should point out that this project was running on 4.20, and we recently migrated to 4.24

I have been trying to get FMOD to work on a project in UE 4.24, but everytime I open the project, I am told there is a problem. I follow the instructions, which included fixing something in the project settings: _ **Bank Output Directory has not been added to the “Additional Non-Asset Directories to Copy” list** _ I click on the ADD button

Next I am instructed to go to the help menu and validate. I get this message popped up: _ **FMODStudio does not appear to be running. Only some validation will occur. Do you want to continue anyway?** _

Like a Lemming, I follow my orders and am told: _ **Finished Validation. No problems detected** _.

Unfortunately, this does not fix anything, and I have no idea what is cause the FMODStudio to not be running.

Please advise…

Cheers,  
Sterling
