Unreal 5.7.4, FMOD Studio 2.03.14, MacOS unable to detect running studio

I’m running Unreal 5.7.4, FMOD Studio 2.03.14 and I’m on MacOS 15.7.4.

When I run “Validate FMOD”, I get this error:

FMODStudio does not appear to be running. Only some validation will occur. Do you want to continue anyway?

I have double checked that FMOD Studio is open and running. I’ve built the banks to the normal directory and they do load when running the game. It’s only the validation that does not appear to be connecting.

Hi,

In the preferences window:

Under Interface ensure that scripting server is enabled:

Could you let me know if the issue persists?

Thanks! I no longer see the error message after turning this on.
