Game Crash on start

[Bluishzulu]

After 15 minutes of perfect performance I restarted the game only to find it kept giving me the standard crash message plus: "Cannot initialize FMOD low-level API..." etc et. just wondering if anyone else has encountered this/has a fix.

We're actually looking for people who are having this issue. If you could help us log some information regarding the crash, it'd be very helpful in finding a solution. Could you do the following for us?

1) In Steam library, right click on Full Metal Furies and select Properties
2) Click on Beta tab and enter beta access code "icanthearanything" (minus quotes)
3) Click Check Code then select "audio-debug - Test build for collecting audio logs"
Update will download (though you may need to verify your games files), when finished you will see "Full Metal Furies [audio-debug]" in Library
4) Start game. After crash, go to your crash logs folder and there will be a fmod_log.txt file. Copy and paste contents here.

Note: you can revert back to retail build by selecting "NONE - Opt out of all beta programs" in Properties -> Beta

I've had a similar crash happen. Backstory: the game ran fine on my tower computer, but crashed on my laptop the first time I tried to run it. Here is the original crash message:

System.Exception: ASSERT FAIL: Cannot initialize FMOD low-level API. RESULT: ERR_OUTPUT_INIT
   at CDGCore.CDGDebug.Assert(Boolean value, String error)
   at CDGEngine.FMODManager.LoadEngine(Camera2D camera, Boolean enableLiveUpdate, Boolean runAsync)

   at Brawler2D.GameController.Initialize()
   at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game.RunGame(Boolean useBlockingRun)
   at Brawler2D.Program.Main(String[] args)

I've run the audio-debug beta, and here is the result:

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide this to us. Hopefully this will be enough to help us get to the bottom of this issue.

[Tinox]

Thank you as well for your quick response and for this great game. I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far.

We received a response back from the team that works on FMOD. Unfortunately it was not the answer I was hoping for, but I'll relay it here.

"As far as we can tell it is a driver issue, as there does not appear to be anything indicating a failure from FMOD.

I would suggest making sure you are on the latest drivers available.
If that does not work you could try disabling the Razor Kraken launcher."

That last sentence is assuming you are using a Razor headset.

I'm getting this crash aswell, tho i have nothing to do with Razer at all.
