Can't connect Profiler to Unity project unless the game is running

Question

Hi folks,

Is there any reason why I can't connect the Profiler to a Unity project unless I'm in Play mode? I know this is possible in the WAG as I've seen it done in the tutorial videos, so I'm assuming it's something I've set up wrong on my end.

Any suggestions are most appreciated.

Hey Simon,

Hmm.. could be a network problem, but first, could you try connecting to this IP - 127.0.0.1? That's your local IP.

Didn't work unfortunately. Just keeps attempting to connect unsuccesfully.
Works fine once I press Play in Unity however.

Hmm... Do you get a "Sound Engine Initialized" when exiting playmode and looking in the console? Or what other messages do you get?

Nothing like "Sound Engine Initialized" no. I get a Wwise: Voice Starvation, and a couple of Event ID not found errors, but that's related to something else.

Sorry for the necro but same issue here.

Wwise -> 2023.1.0.8367.2953

Unity -> 2022.3.5f1

Once I click Play in the Unity Editor, it shows up in Remote Connections but only while the Editor is running.

- Connecting to the localhost IP doesn't work (even w/ port 24024)
- Disabling Firewall
- Trying a different Game Discovery port in both the Wwise and Unity Project Settings
- Killing the adb.exe processes
- Wwise Picker also connects just fine back to the Wwise Editor
