AkLinuxSettings has "same field name is serialized multiple times" errors in Unity

0 votes

Is it possible to get this fixed in a future version of the Wwise Unity package?

 

AkLinuxSettings has serializable fields UserSettings, AdvancedSettings and CommsSettings that are named the same as fields in the super class. This causes a bit of console log noise, but Unity also warns that it is not doing what you probably think it is doing.

 

1) Unity warns:

The same field name is serialized multiple times in the class or its parent class. This is not supported: Base(AkLinuxSettings) UserSettings
The same field name is serialized multiple times in the class or its parent class. This is not supported: Base(AkLinuxSettings) AdvancedSettings
The same field name is serialized multiple times in the class or its parent class. This is not supported: Base(AkLinuxSettings) CommsSettings

This seems likely to be a bug: changes to those object in AkLinuxSettings are not likely persisted.

 

2) It causes compiler warnings that are noisy in the console:

Assets/Wwise/API/Runtime/Handwritten/Linux/AkLinuxSettings.cs(73,30): warning CS0108: 'AkLinuxSettings.UserSettings' hides inherited member 'AkWwiseInitializationSettings.CommonPlatformSettings.UserSettings'. Use the new keyword if hiding was intended.

Hi Matt, 

This issue was fixed in Wwise 2025.1.1: 

  • WG-79080 Fixed: AkLinuxSettings.cs inherites from AkWwiseInitializationSettings.CommonPlatformSettings instead of AkWwiseInitializationSettings.PlatformSettings.

https://www.audiokinetic.com/en/library/2025.1.1_8936/?source=Unity&id=linux_releasenotes_2025_1_1.html 

The fix will also be available in the upcoming Wwise 23.1.16 and 24.1.8 releases.
