In my case it didn’t work as the documentation suggested with writing -trace=memory in an shortcut to a project but it works if I put it to …UnrealEditor.exe -trace=memory .

Thank you uc_ue!!!

To save the next person that comes along a little time here is a shell script that can get you started a little faster. It forks off a child process so you only have to click one button to run both commands:

(Don’t forget to change the directory locations if you have them somewhere different, and save the file as a shell script.)

#!/bin/bash


"/c/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.0/Engine/Binaries/Win64/UnrealInsights.exe" -trace=default,memory &
"/c/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.0/Engine/Binaries/Win64/UnrealEditor.exe" -trace=default,memory
