Could not find plug-in dynamic library - Unity/Wwise

[francescoameglio]

Hello,

I've compiled a PD patch into a wwise plugin that is correctly playing in the wwise project but when I launch the game in Unity I get the following error:

Am I missing a step here? Should I do something in Unity as well?

Thanks

I think I've found out what's wrong here: I've forgot to copy the dll in the “DSP” folder to the game project directory (Assets->Wwise->Deployment->Plugin->Windows->x86_64->DSP). It now works.
The only thing is that I've running the plugin as debug config and not release, how do I change this?

Your solution is a bit problematic due to the way Wwise works. Plugins consist of two parts: the Authoring part that manages GUI and some advanced things that Heavy doesn't need, and the Engine part that does all the DSP. The binary you copied from Authoring/x64/Release/bin/Plugins contains both parts and is intended for use exclusively by Authoring Tool. You shouldn't use this .dll inside your game.

You need to find a .dll that contains only the Engine part of the plugin. These are placed into $WWISEROOT/SDK/$Platform directories. I haven't worked with Unity for quite some time and don't remember where respective .dlls must be copied to.
