Could not allocate effect.

Could not allocate effect.

This error means there was not enough memory available to allocate the memory needed for the plug-in parameters. This error should always be preceded by an "Insufficient Memory" error.

Probable causes:

The total memory available for Wwise is too low.
There are too many objects loaded and created during runtime.
An error during custom plug-in development.

Recommended resolution steps:

Increase the total amount of memory available by increasing AkMemSettings::uMemAllocationSizeLimit before calling AK::MemoryMgr::Init.
Reduce the number of objects loaded through SoundBanks.
