I just swapped to Arch Linux recently and every time I either make a change to a script or hit the play button in the editor it just hangs/freezes. I’m 95% sure it’s due to FMOD, I copied over all the assets to a temp project and deleted things 1 by 1 until it stopped hanging and removing FMOD fixed the issues. I’m not sure exactly what could be causing it.

I’ve found similar issues such as this one [Linux Unity Editor Freeze/Crash](https://qa.fmod.com/t/linux-unity-editor-freeze-crash/16305) but the fixes there did not fix my problem.

Any help would be appreciated!

Figured I’d update FMOD as a last ditch effort and it fixed my problem. Update your plugins kids!
