Profiler unresponsive when using Wwise Integration 2021.1.3.7665.2179

0 votes

Wwise Version: 2021.1.1. 

Unity Version: 2021.1.1

Hi,

I'm using Wwise version 2021.1.1 alongside Unity (2021.1.12f1) on three separate projects. Two of these projects appear to have the Wwise Integration 2021.1.3.7665.2179 (Red boxes in the Wwise Launcher) , while the third, and older one, has Wwise Integration 2021.1.2.7629.2141 (Blue boxes in the Wwise Launcher) (Wwise Launcher image https://ibb.co/103KgJs). When I run the project with the older integration, the profiler works just fine (Imgae https://ibb.co/mRBYNsy). However, when the Unity project with the newer integration is run, there is no information coming through to the profiler (Image: https://ibb.co/qxqc99f). The profiler does not begin capture even when the "start capture on connect" dialog box is ticked. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or has experienced this issue and found a work around?

Is it possible to roll back the integration versions? Also, it seems that Wwise automatically updates the integration versions. How does this process work exactly?

Exceptionally, Wwise 2021.1.3's runtime cannot be used to profile with an older Wwise Authoring minor version. This is due to:

  •  WG-54349 Exceptionally for this minor version, it is not possible to connect Wwise Authoring to a previous minor version of the sound engine.

Fear not, there is no need to downgrade the integration: you can safely install the latest Wwise Authoring 2021.1.3 to get profiling back: no migration or bank format has been changed, and you will get all the latest fixes.
You can consult the full release note for Wwise 2021.1.3 for other behavior changes: https://www.audiokinetic.com/library/edge/?source=SDK&id=releasenotes.html

Note that we generally assure profiling compatibility between minor versions within a major release (for example, any version 2021.1.x are compatible): we had to make an exception in order to provide a critical change that allows profiling otherwise missing RTPCs in the Game Sync Monitor.
You will find the new "Inactive Game Syncs" option in the Profiler Settings of Wwise 2021.1.3 to enable this feature.

Hi Samuel.

Thanks a lot for answering the questions. It's good to know it isn't because of something I was failing to see. I'll upgrade! :)

Update: Works perfectly after the upgrade!
