The following sections list and describe the changes to Wwise between version 2021.1 and version 2021.1.1.
Platform-specific information can be found here:
For earlier versions, please refer to Previous Release Notes.
New Features
- WG-53068 Profiler Filter - The prefix "go" now matches numerical Game Object in addition to the Game Object name.
- WG-53834 Profiler: Added the ability to filter Game Objects from the shortcut menu using the Game Object ID.
API Changes
Behavior Changes
- WG-53829 Using specific listeners is mandatory for the call
AddOutput() for game controller outputs. An error is now printed in the log.
Performance Changes
- WG-53673 Improved performance of 3D views in Wwise Authoring.
- WG-53849 Significantly improved performance of CompressorFX when processing very wide channel configurations with Channel Link enabled.

Miscellaneous Changes
- WG-51974 Improved the positioning of the Texture labels in Spatial Audio Volumes.
- WG-53798 Added the following optional counters to the Performance Monitor:
- Spatial Audio - Computed Edges
- Spatial Audio - Diffraction Edges
- Spatial Audio - Path Validation CPU
- Spatial Audio - Portal Path Validation CPU
- Spatial Audio - Portal Raytracing CPU
- Spatial Audio - Raytracing CPU
- Spatial Audio - Triangles

- WG-53409 Fixed: Spatial Audio room's internal objects can be unnecessarily updated multiple times in some circumstances.
- WG-53437 Fixed: Potential infinite loop in BankReader when loading a SoundBank containing some already-loaded media and the I/O device block size is greater than 1.

- WG-53536 Fixed: Crash when loading or unloading audio assets while Convolution Reverb is in use.
- WG-53556 Fixed: Source plug-ins don't play when using sample-accurate transitions involving hardware decoders (e.g., Opus, Vorbis, ATRAC9).
- WG-53590 Fixed: Panning behaves incorrectly when multiple 3D views are shown.
- WG-53628 Fixed: (WAAPI) Can't create a Custom Cue on a Music Segment.
- WG-53631 Fixed: Voice Inspector reports incorrect values for time and envelope modulators on volume and make-up gain.
- WG-53632 Fixed: No error message in Profiler when SetBusEffect fails to load the specified Effect.
- WG-53675 Fixed: The 3D Meter does not show the correct information when moving the profiling session cursor in the past.
- WG-53677 Fixed: Possible crash when opening Voices Graph.
- WG-53691 Fixed: Incorrect first frame volume for low frequency LFO modulators.
- WG-53738 Fixed: Crash when Impacter memory allocation fails.
- WG-53741 Fixed: Crash in
CAkSpatialAudioComponent::GetActiveRoom on memory failure.
- WG-53742 Fixed: Possible memory leak in
AK::SoundEngine::DecodeBank under low-memory conditions.
- WG-53743 Fixed: Illegal memory read in iZotope Trash Box Modeller plug-in under low-memory conditions.
- WG-53749 Fixed: Assert in
AkAcousticRoom::AddTransmissionRay() on memory failure.
- WG-53776 Fixed: (Spatial Audio) Potential invalid hit point returned in ray triangle intersection.
- WG-53792 Fixed: Possible crash in Wwise on startup.

- WG-54005 Fixed: High amount of "Total Reserved" memory after sound engine initialization.
- WG-54070 Fixed: Wwise can crash when scrolling through the Project Explorer when the Metadata tab is open.
Fixes for Community-Reported Bugs
- WG-52990 Fixed: Possible crash when opening a project under certain situations.
- WG-53508 Fixed: GetSourcePlayPositions reports the wrong position for ATRAC9 sources encoded at sample rates lower than 48KHz.
