Short Question:  
I remember in older versions of FMOD there was an option in the “help” menu to force UE to reload FMOD banks.  
Where is the option now? How to force the reload now? Is there a command line for it or so?

Hi,

Unfortunately, that option seems to have been removed. I have made a task to add it back. In the meantime, there are two options.

1. A workaround is changing any option in the FMOD integration settings will trigger a bank refresh call.  

2. If you are able to build the UE project from the `.sln` file I can supply a modified settings file which will add a refresh banks option to the help menu.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

The option will be replaced in the `File` dropdown menu in the next release. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Is there anything else I could assist with?
