Troubleshooting

It seems that audio reactive niagara systems can currently not be used in UE 5.2 due to a bug. See this article for more information: https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/ue5-2-crash-caused-by-niagara-particle-system-audio-spectrum-niagaradatainterfaceaudio/1170362/2

In UE 5.1 that prevents the effects from being used in a packaged game when async loading is enabled. it is recommended to use UE 5.0 or disable async loading.
