Hello! It’s this time of the year where we hit some memory allocation crashes in FMOD and jumped the rabbit hole of profiler and fixes. So, as I’m investigating the memory usage that’s allocated we’ve stumbled upon a question that we can’t figure out by google or the doc reading (so far at least).
Here is a question!
We got the bank file that takes 41MB on the disc. We pre-load the sample data from that bank into the memory on system creation. FMOD Studio Profiler yields that sample data is taking only 19MB in memory. 41MB is quite far from 19MB. Is it a sign of an issue?
Could anybody explain why this is happening? FMOD studio build parameters are Vorbis, Compressed, 37% quality, 48.0kHz sample rate (if those have anything do with it).
Looking forward for an answer, cheers!
