Hi,

I’m hoping this is something obvious. I’m new to FMOD Studio and have been following the tutorials on the official Youtube channel (the Unreal Engine stream). I have followed the instructions in everything and when it comes to clicking ‘build’ in the file tab, it is unavailable to select. My directory for the build is the same as the tutor’s and I’ve triple checked everything. I don’t understand, please help! (Trying to build to then import in to Unreal Engine). I am running Windows 7.

Thanks,

Alex

Have you saved your project? It’s only possible to build a project if it has been saved, first.
