How do you open the performance profiler?

Hello,

I’ve read the documentation, searched online, Youtube, Unreal’s forum, and still no clear answer on this.

The documentation and various tutorials out there keep starting with the initial set up already complete and saying you have to have data already to open it. How do you set this up from scratch? If I have to have profiler data to open the profiler to get data then clearly we already know how to open the profiler no? It makes no sense. Assume I’m a simpleton please.

Thank you.

It’s run from outside the editor. Although, I do believe there’s a menu hook in 5.1

What in the heck? I literally opened that multiple times and there was nothing there in the Trace section. All of a sudden there is. Wonder if closing the editor and opening it again worked? Even though I did that multiple times. Don’t even know and don’t care.
I have it now. Thank you!
