Continuing the discussion from [How to set up multiple output formats on one plattform](https://qa.fmod.com/t/how-to-set-up-mulitple-output-formats-on-one-plattform/18966): Thanks for the answer and solution regarding FMOD Studio, but now I need to know, who to handle that from Code/Engine side: In the FMOD Integration Setting (in UE5) down in the platform tab, I just can set one platform entry per platform. Unlike in FMOD Studio, I can’t add a second Windows platform with a different output setting. Or do we have to overwrite the output format in the basic tab settings? I don’t even understand how to set up the Bank Output Directory for this case. Can someone help me, please? ---

In the FMOD Unreal plugin settings you can choose which platform to build to by setting [Force Platform Name](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unreal/settings.html#force-platform-name) to the bank directory you want. If you built to a custom platform called “Surround 5.1” for example then you would put “Surround 5.1” as that value. [Bank Output Directory](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unreal/settings.html#bank-output-directory) is the subdirectory inside your UE project’s Content folder where banks are located. ---

Thanks so far! The programmer was on it to do it like described. However, it had some issues with the meta/assets split banks. As I understood the programmer, this does not work with [that set up](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/studio/advanced-topics.html#separating-metadata-and-assets-in-built-banks). It does not work if the (shared) asset bank is in a different directory. For that workflow, UE does not like the split banks and wants assets.banks in every directory. ---

Unfortunately the ability for the FMOD Unreal integration to load banks from asset banks and metadata banks in separate folders has not been implemented. I have added this task to our backlog, in the meantime please either untick _Skip building assets for this platform_ to ensure asset banks are created in the same directory, or change the _Built bank file separation_ mode to “Build metadata and assets to a single bank” to build assets into each bank. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
