This announcement is to inform you that Project Acoustics will be discontinued on July 1st, 2024. This means that after this date, we will no longer offer the ability to download versions of Project Acoustics from Microsoft’s Download Center or Epic Games’ Unreal Marketplace. If you have previously downloaded Project Acoustics, you can continue to use it according to the EULA. The github repository used for reporting issues will be archived and placed in a read-only state for 12-months following the download removal. We thank you for your support and interest in Project Acoustics.

But Why?

AndersMalmgren commented 5 months ago

Really sad to hear :( there is no other solution coming close to PA

NoelCross commented 5 months ago

The project is alive and doing well. The ask from the PA leadership team is to continue development on the project with a focus on internal studios for now.

Will the docker images be kept intact online so that we can bake our scenes in Azure and locally. Or do we need to download them locally to be able to keep current version of PA in our game?

We don't plan on modifying the Docker images that have been published. The container images should continue to work, although if Azure Batch makes changes that is no longer compatible with the published images, we do not plan on updating those images.
