Hi, I recently updated my project to 4.26.1 with your new plugin in a backup folder.
It worked all fine.
Now I replaced my old project in my git environment with the new version and I get constant crashes at ~96%
this is the crash handler message

Somehow my Content/FMOD folder is now write protected and I cannot set it permanently back to writeable.
Workaround is: before each start, manually set it to writeable in windows explorer, then start the engine.
Do you know this issue and know how to handle this properly?
[edit] a weird thing is that i even set the folder in .gitignore to be ignored by git AND it also worked in the previous project version 4.23

NVM i just found out that all version controlled projects have this issue currently and that you are on it.
