For earlier versions, please refer to Previous Release Notes.
New Features
- WG-51853 Added the Inactive Game Syncs option to the Profiler Settings to capture all Game Syncs to be displayed in the Game Sync Monitor, whether they are associated with any playing sounds or not. For details on related changes, refer to WG-54345 and WG-54349 in the Behavior Changes section below.
- WG-52085 Added
AK::SoundEngine::TryUnsetMedia API as a safer alternative to AK::SoundEngine::UnsetMedia.
API Changes
Behavior Changes
- WG-54345 When profiling, Game Parameters not used by objects in the project are no longer synced.
- WG-54349 Exceptionally for this minor version, it is not possible to connect Wwise Authoring to a previous minor version of the sound engine.
- WG-54605 Various SDK functions, such as
AK::SoundEngine::SetRTPCValue and AK::SoundEngine::SetGameObjectAuxSendValues, now return AK_InvalidFloatValue and skip execution if values such as NaN or Inf are passed as parameters on Debug, Profile, and Release binary configurations of the Sound Engine. Previously, this was the case for Debug and Profile binary configurations, but not Release.
Performance Changes
- WG-54505 Improved SoundEngine performance when
AkInitSettings::bDebugOutOfRangeCheckEnabled is enabled. Enabling this feature now increases CPU usage by a factor of 1.05-1.10x, instead of increasing CPU usage by a factor of 1.50x-3.00x, allowing it to be enabled in more scenarios.
- WG-55096 Improved performance of the Voice Monitor when using filters.
