"Wwise is Incompatible" error message appears every time a local build is started in UE 5.

Hi,

Whenever a local build is started on a specific machine in our office the same error message appears despite it being set up the same as every other machine in the office and using the same version of both Wwise and Unreal the rest of the office does .

The full error message is "The Wwise plugin was designed for build 5.0.0. Attempt to load it anyway?" With options for Yes and No to click. Both have been clicked multiple times, it always comes back.

We are using 2021.1.9.7847 and UE 5.0.0.

Is it possible to disable this error message or explain why its appearing in the first place?

Thanks,

Jamie

Hi, we were getting this same pop up. There is a workaround to stop it.

If you navigate to your projects Plugins>Wwise folder and open the Wwise.uplugin in a text editor you need to change the engine version line (line 9) to match your version of UE. In our case it was 5.0.2

Hope that helps.
