After a lot of problems I could finally package my Unreal Engine 5 - project but now I can not start it. After starting the application my computer says me: ,Plugin ‘FMODStudio’ failed to load because module ‘FMODStudio’ could not be found. Please ensure the plugin is properly installed otherwise consider disabling the plugin for this project’’ Did I forget a step in the packaging process? I thougt after shipping the project I needn`t FMOD every time to run it, because it’s rendered to one object. On the other hand I only see the Banks in the folders but no sound events. How can I solve it? It is for my bachelor and I have little time. ---

That message means you have a version of the FMOD Unreal integration different to your version of Unreal- even if it’s 1 minor version out you will get that notification. The way to get around this is to [Recompile the FMOD integration](https://fmod.com/docs/2.02/unreal/user-guide.html#compiling-the-plugin-optional). Please try the steps listed in that doc and let me know if anything is uncelar. ---

Some points are irritating me: - ,Create a new code project using Unreal.‘’ Does that mean that I shall duplicate my project or generate any new projects? - What means ,Regenerate the game’s solution or xcode project.‘’? Is this a normal regeneration with Visual Studio? I never have done this. ---

> [@Tritonus](#): > > - ,Create a new code project using Unreal.‘’ Does that mean that I shall duplicate my project or generate any new projects? If you already have an Unreal project this part is not necessary, you can use your existing project. > [@Tritonus](#): > > What means ,Regenerate the game’s solution or xcode project.‘’? Is this a normal regeneration with Visual Studio? I never have done this. Right click on your .uproject and select “Generate Visual Studio project files” ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/fmod/original/2X/c/c0ff8cb02c189eba68693abb618d673a8a78a70a.png) I can see how this wouldn’t be obvious, so I have added a task to update the docs to make this clearer. ---

It works, for now. It was very frustrating because I had to download first Visual Studio 2019 an after that the C++ Plugin for Visual Studio to build an empty C++ Actor. After that I could finally regenerate the project, now it starts. Thank you for your help.
