The project I am working on uses Perforce. Our Project tree works as follows: General Project Folder - FMOD (Project folder) - UE Project folder -\> Content -\> FMOD (Banks) I tried all possible solutions to connect the UE Project with FMOD, but it has never really worked. I tried all servers that are said in this forum and all possible localhosts. Is there anything that I am missing because we’re using Perforce? Thank you, Theo ---

Hi Theo, Are you getting any error messages either as a dialog popup or in the Console view in FMOD Studio? ---

The error I get is "Studio was unable connect to “localhost: as a connection error occurred: Socket Error. Please check that the IP address is correct, the game is running and live update is enabled.” That is where I mentioned that I’ve tried all possible IP combinations: - 127.0.0.1:(UE port number, which is 9265) - localhost(9265) - Perforce server IP The game is on and live update is enabled inside UE4. ---

Hi, If you are playing the game in editor, you should use the port specified in the Live Update Port settings (defaults to 9264). ---

That is the port I’m trying to use. But how should I write the address then? ---

Hi, I just tested this on Windows, using 127.0.0.1:9264, and I was able to connect FMOD Studio 2.00.07 to UE4 4.24.3 while running the game in the editor. ---

Hi, Wondering if you are still have issue connecting after trying 127.0.0.1:9264 as the address for live update? ---

Hi, If you are getting the same error (i.e. Socket Error), usually this means either the game is not running or the port number is incorrect. ---

Hello, Same issue here with UE4.22 and FMOD 2.00.06 in local host. Live update enabled, port : 9264 (initial setting) Editor live update enabled, port : 9265 (enabled manually but port number was initial setting) I also tried editor live update only with port number 9264. There is no error message on FMOD end. Only “Live update reconnecting” blinking. Did you find a fix? Have a good day! ---
