Sorry guys, didn't realize this thread had more posters. I fixed the error by simply turning my audio receiver on. It seems that somehow before the patch, if you somehow start your game in any different way, you would get this error. I believe the FMOD error has something to do with audio (as my google search indicated). By turning on my audio receiver and enabling the audio that linked to my configuration files, it worked. The game will still not launch if I try to play without my audio receiver turned on. It is weird I know.

I believe a possible fix may be to erase the production_config file that stores all of your saved settings in the UI panel in game. You will then have to redo all your settings. I had to do this before when the game kept starting in windowed mode instead of full screen. I am using the standalone client as well.

Hope this helps, and sorry I didn't post earlier.
