I am trying to update a project to Unreal 5.4.1 but it can’t find the plugin. I am getting the error in the screenshot. This is using the binaries version of Unreal from the Epic Game Store. I tried putting the plugin in the \UE_5.4\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace and \UE_5.4\Engine\Plugins\ folder but b…

Hi, Just to clarify, what version of Unreal and/or the FMOD for Unreal plugin were you using prior to updating? What directory was the FMOD plugin previously located?

Previous version is Unreal 5.2.1 with FMOD 2.02.15. Directory is \UE_5.2\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\FMODStudio. By the way, ever since Unreal 5.0, the binaries version of Unreal doesn’t recognize FMOD if it’s in the \Plugins\ folder. If it’s moved to \Plugins\Marketplace\ it works fine. I posted t…

Same problem for me, but i’m trying to put it in the project plugins folder !

There is a known issue with UE 5.4 where the plugin is built for the incorrect UE version, which may be causing the issue you’re describing.

The assert you’re running into is a known issue that should be fixed in our next release. What @Agreafel has mentioned should resolve the issue, so I would recommend giving that a shot as a workaround for now.

We expect the next minor version to release in the next few weeks, but the fix has already gone up on the 2.02-UE5.4 branch of the fmod-for-unreal github repo - you can see the relevant change here: Fixed builds failing due to String Format. · fmod/fmod-for-unreal@513d95b · GitHub

What is the exact error message that you run into when trying to do this? Is your project a Blueprint only project, or is it a C++ project?
