So for the last month of jumping back to my project I was trying to debug why Unity freezes after an event stops. It turns out it only freezes in the editor, builds work perfectly. I was trying to pin down the problem with windows’ event log and process viewer with no clues. I’ve searched through my…

Thank you for all the information. Apologies, to connect the profiler to Unity you need to enable live update: [image] FMOD Studio | Glossary - Live Update . Files can be uploaded to your profile . Would it be possible to also upload the test Unity project to your profile as well showing the err…

Sorry for the delay, got stuck in other work. [image] So live update worked, and everything snaps out of existence when silence falls. I uploaded the .fspackage, but as for the project I’m afraid it wouldn’t be possible. Also It happens for me on any project for which I install the FMOD package o…

Thank you for the profiler sessions. Are you stopping the editor after the two events have played or is it freezing and causing the profiler to stop recording? From the profiler I can see 2 events being played in the MixedClips recording and them the recording stopping but I cannot see any freezing…

Just quickly responding here, I’ll do the music check tomorrow. The editor is freezing when the two events finish. The freeze literally makes anything in the editor unclickable. The profiler seems to finish also since I guess it can’t reach Unity any further. I’m not that good at games to perfectly …

Alright so the music test was an interesting find. So I played a music event first in place of the cancel sound, and the editor froze just after I played the okay sound and it finished. The profiler has the recording cut as usual - but. Despite the editor being frozen the music still played, and it …

Thank you for testing that and the information. Would it be possible to test an updated Unity version to see if the issue persists? [image] These two are currently recommended by Unity Hub.

Sorry for the delay. I’m willing to check that, though I personally don’t like switching Unity versions when I have projects in progress. I might send you some info tomorrow, but I’m going on holidays for a week, so apologies for delaying that.

I hope you have a good holiday! For this test could you create a whole new project, no need to update the one you are currently working on, and see if you can reproduce the issue?

Alright so I’ve done a test on a newer version - the same problem appears. Unity’s editor just freezes the same way.

Thanks for confirming that. Would it be possible to get a screen recording including audio of the freeze happening?
