UE5.0.1. and Platform Error (Wwise 2021.1.8.)

Question

Hello,

I just gave the newly release UE5 plugin a try with UE5.0.1. 

However, when selecting Build -> Generate Sound Data the following error occurs:

Unable to generate SoundBanks. Please select a valid Wwise supported platform in the 'Project Settings > Project > Supported Platforms' dialog.

As a supported platform, only Windows is selected. The plugin version is: 2021.1.8.7831.2284

 

Answer 1

For anyone else running into this make sure the "Wwise Integration Settings" in the unreal project settings, has a valid path for "Wwise Project Path". In my case, I moved the project around and the path had changed. This then gave me the cryptic "Please select a valid Wwise supported platform" error.
