Possible Crash of Wwise When Using Recent GameInput Redistributable

0 votes
We introduced support for Microsoft GameInput almost a year ago in Wwise 2024.1.0. Recent updates to GameInput changed how it behaves, which exposed a bug in the Wwise Motion code. Following an automatic Windows App Gaming Services update or a manual install of Game Input Redistributable, you may experience crashes in Wwise 2024.1.x or in games built with those versions of Wwise.

We have confirmed that the problem occurs when using GameInputRedist.dll version 2.1.26100.6068 or 2.2.26100.6114; we expect the issue could affect other versions of the Redistributable.

The bug in the Wwise Motion code will be fixed for the Wwise 2024.1.9 release on October 21st. We planned to release Wwise 2025.1.2 beta 3 today, including a GameInput Redistributable that would make Wwise 2024.1.x crash. We have delayed this release to remove the GameInput Redistributable from the installation.

We have rebuilt the Wwise 2024.1.8 Motion plug-in with the fix and made it available for download here: https://media.gowwise.com/software/WwiseHotFix/WwiseGameInput-Hotfix-2024.1.zip

Extract the content of this archive over your Wwise 2024.1.x installation, replacing the DLL for Motion in the Authoring folder and for Windows SDKs. We have verified that this Wwise Motion plug-in works with all versions of Wwise 2024.1.x.
