Hello, just installed the newest FMOD 2.02.27 to work on a new project.  
It’s basically empty with one test event but for some reason the UI is very stuttery, really annoying to work with. It’s definitely not performance related to my pc. My cpu is Ryzen 7600, 32GB ram and an RTX 5070Ti.

This is how it looks like: [https://youtu.be/vaI1duvIFBQ](https://youtu.be/vaI1duvIFBQ)

Would appreciate any kind of help!

Hi,

Thank you for sharing the information and recording.

Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce the issue on my end.

Could I please grab a bit more info?

- Does this issue occur in other versions of FMOD Studio as well?  
For example, could you check if the same stuttering happens in versions 2.02.00, 2.02.10, or 2.02.20?
- Could you please also share screenshots of your **View Settings** and **Interface Settings**?

In the meantime, could you please try the following steps to reset FMOD Studio settings:

- Go to `C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\FMOD Studio\Settings`
- Locate the file named something like `Studio.02.02.00.config`.
- Rename or move this file to a different location as backup.
- Restart FMOD Studio. It will generate a new configuration file with default settings.

Let me know if the issue persists, please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Thank you for your help and I’m sorry for the late reply!

The problem was in the fact that the project was located on an external HDD and this particular option in the settings was causing it.
