When you are ready to upgrade to a new major version of Wwise, you need to follow a
coordinated protocol to ensure that your projects created in the previous version are migrated
smoothly to the newer version. The goal is to avoid putting any aspect of your game at risk,
so you need to examine the changes in the new version and selectively and systematically
implement any modifications to your game code.
The protocol for upgrade and migration may vary depending on the number and configuration
of users working with Wwise and the following conditions:
Projects under source control: The project will need to be checked in at key
points.
Multiple users: The upgrade and the project migration need to be completed for the
project and the SDK before multiple users can all upgrade on their workstations.
Integrated game project: The game code needs to be modified for the changes in the
upgrade.
The migration team, composed of one or two designated individuals, should first upgrade
and migrate to a local system for the authoring application, and simultaneously upgrade and
migrate to a local system for the SDK and the game code as needed. After the team has carried
out their respective tasks, all other users can safely upgrade their Wwise installations and
access the migrated projects.
