Platform: macos Engine: Unreal Engine Question: I try to Package a Patch for my project with Command but FFMODFileSystem thread run and it blocks my package thread. It only happened in mac platform and the problem seems is i dont have authority of write to disk cause the file cannot write and the thread is waiting for this. But I’m not sure. The FFMODFileSystem is Static. ![img_v2_6a2c3678-0757-430f-b016-74f9f04de62g](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/5/578a2786e1f781dc264e5d87ab65ea37211c005d.jpeg) And FMOD Plungin call StartupModule function when Unreal Engine work. Can I change FFMODFileSystem to non-static and make Plungin skip StartupWork when patch? Or how should I configure patch setting in macos? ---

Hi, Thank you for the extra information. Would it be possible to get the full commandlet that you are running? This can be [uploaded](https://fmod.com/profile#uploads) to your [profile](https://fmod.com/profile) after you have [registered](https://fmod.com/profile#register) a project with us. Can you confirm the XCode version you are also using? I have found that UE4 is no longer compatible with XCode 14. ---

XCode Version is 14.3.1 And Commandlet is here [https://github.com/hxhb/HotPatcher/blob/master/HotPatcher/Source/HotPatcherCore/Classes/Commandlets/HotPatcherCommandlet.cpp](https://github.com/hxhb/HotPatcher/blob/master/HotPatcher/Source/HotPatcherCore/Classes/Commandlets/HotPatcherCommandlet.cpp) ---

Hi, Thank you for the repo and for confirming the Xcode version. Unfortunately, I am still unable to reproduce the issue. Is there any more information that you can provide? Any logs that mention FMOD or where it is failing in Xcode? How did you find out that it was FMOD that was getting stuck? Did you create the Hot Patcher or are you just using it? If the latter, it may help to ask the creator for assistance as they have a better understanding of the commandlet. Apologies for the delayed response. ---
