Hi there!  
I just want to know why if I run my game in unity it shows in the fmod studio debug window that that the memory is cur 46mb and max: 48mb, but if I start a profiling session from FMOD Studio by using live update, those values change to over 250mb. I want to know too if I need to do something when I build banks to avoid getting this memory usage increase. I’m working in version 2.02.13.

Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Unfortunately, I was not able to reproduce the behavior. Are you seeing the new value in the FMOD profiler:

or in Unity:

Would it be possible to upload the FMOD session with the following settings:
