The following sections list and describe the changes to Wwise between version 2024.1.5 and version 2024.1.6.
Platform-specific information can be found here:
For earlier versions, please refer to Previous Release Notes.
New Features
- WG-77699 Added the ability to specify license keys from the command line for generate-soundbank using a license key filename, instead of the license key text itself.
- WG-77994 The project license status is now displayed in the Wwise menu bar.
- WG-78377 (wp.py) Added new option
–signtool-path to the premake action to provide the full path to a custom SignTool.exe executable. This can be used to specify a different executable than the one provided with the Windows SDK that is used to build the plug-in on Windows.
Behavior Changes
- WG-77768 Group names are now considered when searching in the Property Editor.
Bug Fixes
- WG-77087 Fixed: (Spatial Audio) Crash when dynamically setting multiple positions on emitters.
- WG-77504 Fixed: (Spatial Audio) Remaining Portal tasks are not cleared or executed when Load Balancing is enabled.
- WG-77653 Fixed: Possible crash when triggering an object inspection through a list.
- WG-77914 Fixed: Some string conversions in Wwise Authoring are not thread-safe, which can cause intermittent failures in Impacter audio file conversion.
- WG-78008 Fixed: Possible crash when reloading a project after a Work Unit file was modified.
- WG-78013 Fixed: Random Containers fail to select only from sounds that have media loaded. This is required for level-of-detail support.
- WG-78252 Fixed: AkMemType_Media missing on media allocations triggered by Live Media Transfer.
- WG-78335 Fixed: Possible crash when reading XML data from WAV files in a multi-threaded context.
- WG-75579 Fixed: (Spatial Audio) In some scenarios, the room traversal algorithm hangs for several seconds on complex maps with many Portals if Portal occlusion or obstruction is applied.
- WG-76642 Fixed: Crash when selecting Override Parent in the Property Editor.
- WG-77327 Fixed: (WAAPI) Cannot set the ConeUse property on an Attenuation.
- WG-77386 Fixed: Possible crash when a voice becomes virtual in the first frame after becoming physical.
- WG-77405 Fixed: (Spatial Audio) An assert is triggered in
AkAcousticPortal::CalcIntersectPoint().
- WG-77591 Fixed: Wrong editor sometimes displayed in an object tab after clicking another object.
- WG-77692 Fixed: Live Media Transfer crashes during playback of containers with Trigger rate transitions of very short duration (less than 20ms).
- WG-77775 Fixed: (Spatial Audio) A sound behind a Portal with a smaller attenuation than the distance to the center of the Portal is cut off and assigned 100% transmission loss.
- WG-77910 Fixed: Possible crash in
CAkSpeakerPan::GetSpeakerVolumes when calculating a speaker matrix to pan an ambisonic source to an ambisonic destination.
- WG-77911 Fixed: Stack overflow when using 5th-order ambisonic source in a multi-3D object setting.
- WG-77930 Fixed: An Audio Bus with a Parametric EQ Effect with Process LFE enabled and other Effects handling tail processing on a sound might generate INF or NaN values in the audio pipeline.
- WG-77943 Fixed: Dragging many objects into the Mixing Desk freezes the user interface for a long time.
- WG-78011 Fixed: Crash in
CAkSrcLpHpFilter::ExecuteSrcLpHpFilters when processing audio objects with an emitter channel mask set.
- WG-78058 Fixed: Possible crash when using Mixing Desk and reloading a Work Unit.
- WG-78266 Fixed: Crash in AkConvolutionReverb when floating-point exceptions are enabled.
- WG-78271 Fixed: Possible crash when deleting an Effect.
- WG-78341 Fixed: Queries that include "Source/Channels (Original)" or "Source/Channels (Converted)" do not return results for any ambisonic or anonymous sources.
- WG-78359 Fixed: Possible sound engine deadlock during Live Media Transfer operations.
- WG-78440 Fixed: Error when converting some ATRAC9 media that use a non-48kHz sample rate and have loop points positioned near the end of the file, or loop points specified in the Original file.
- WG-78443 Fixed: Severe performance degradation and processing errors in AK Convolution plug-in in some scenarios when an instance of the Effect is processing for more than 24 hours.
