Press F7, go back to unity and nothing has changed, turn on live update the then the changes happens. I’m on Mac Catalina. Unity 2021.3.4f1. Fmod 2.02.07 Is this a known issue? If not can it be related to the Fmod package being 08?

Best

Hi,

Unfortunately, I was not able to recreate the issue.

Could I grab a bit more information:

- Is there anything special about where your FMOD Studio project / Banks are located? e.g In your Unity project’s Assets folder, on a separate hard drive, in a cloud linked drive
- Are your banks being tracked in source control?
- What is the [Built Banks Output Directory](https://fmod.com/resources/documentation-studio?version=2.02&page=glossary.html#built-banks-output-directory) of your FMOD Studio project, and does it match with the [Build Path](https://fmod.com/resources/documentation-unity?version=2.02&page=settings.html#source-type) in your FMOD Unity settings?

Hi Connor

Thanks for your reply.

> Is there anything special about where your FMOD Studio project / Banks are located? e.g In your Unity project’s Assets folder, on a separate hard drive, in a cloud linked drive

Both projects are on the same drive. I’ve also had the same problem if I nest the Fmod project in the Unity folder (not in Assets).

> Are your banks being tracked in source control?

No.

> - What is the Built Banks Output Directory of your FMOD Studio project, and does it match with the [Build Path] in your FMOD Unity settings?

Default Fmod project folder and yes it’s the same as under Fmod settings in Unity.

If I start a project from scratch I can get it to update but only after I specify the banks and refresh from within Unity. See vid below.

I suspect this has something to do with Macos Catalina because I don’t see the same issue on the M1.

Hi,

Thank you for the video.

Again I was unable to recreate the issue.

Is it possible to get a copy of the FMOD and Unity projects to test on my end? You can DM me a repo or a cloud drive.

Also, could you test whether Live Update is working when you have your Unity project running? Check if it is throwing any console errors.
