UE5.2 Support - Wwise Roadmap

+3 votes

We are currently working on adapting our Wwise Unreal integration to the changes introduced in version 5.2 of the engine. We are planning to have completed this work in the coming weeks to introduce official support for the new version of Unreal in Wwise 2022.1.5.

Wwise 2022.1.5 is planned for release on June 22nd.

Until Wwise 2022.1.5 becomes available, it is possible to use Wwise 2022.1.4.8202 in a UE5.2 project if you are willing to perform a manual installation. A manual installation consists in following the steps described in the "Installing the Wwise Unreal Integration as an Engine Plug-in" section of the Wwise Unreal Integration Installation page: https://www.audiokinetic.com/en/library/edge/?source=UE4&id=installation.html. It can be used to update a project that uses Wwise as a game plug-in by replacing the path to the engine installation with the path to the project. The only additional step is to edit the `Plugins\Wwise\Wwise.uplugin` file to specify you want to use UE5.2: `"EngineVersion": "5.2.0"`.

If you follow the steps, and run into an issue that you'd like to bring to our attention, you should either file a support ticket if you have an active support package, or send in a bug report through the AK Launcher (under the Help menu).  Note that bug reports may not get you a direct response from our engineers, but you can contact your AK representative via your project page to ask the status of a reported issue.

Update for Wwise 2021.1.x

The Wwise 2021.1.13.8026.2580 Unreal integration can also be used with UE5.2 if you are willing to perform a manual installation. as explained above. We are planning to release a new version of the Unreal Integration for Wwise 2021.1.3 in the coming weeks that will introduce Launcher integration for Wwise 2021.1.13.

Looks like it's not coming on June 22nd. When is it coming then?
Is there an ETA on 2022.1.5? I know it's only been a day since the estimated release, but we had a prototype milestone scheduled around this upgrade so I'm curious what sort of delay we're looking at.
Hi! Do you have any updates on when Wwise 2022.1.5 is coming out?

 

Cheers,
I'm waiting for it, too...
Hi! I'm wondering too, about when Wwise 2022.1.5 is coming out.
We are on Unreal 5.2 and in 95% of cases have crashes because of the Wwise engine. I really hope the new integration package solve issues
Its just dropped :) Though I don't see Wwise Convolution for 2022.1.5 yet. But the authoring tool is there.
Actually, nevermind :) All is good here.
You asked, they listened. Looks like it's out as of this afternoon!
