Wwise Launcher error

Hi, since I updated the Wwise launcher, I am getting this error:

Everything seems to be working, but I don't know why I am getting this message.

I uninstalled the Wwise launcher and reinstalled it again, but the same error message keeps getting.

What is the problem? What I can do? Maybe it will be fixed in the next update?

Thanks in advance

Hi!

Yes, that's a known issue that will be fixed in the next release. Meanwhile, you could try a pre-release build.

We would greatly appreciate your feedback on this build regarding whether it fixes you issue or not!
