Hey i probably did a wrong console command but i have now two message in red color each time i test my game from the editor

“PROFILING WITH AI LOGGING ON!” and “PROFILING WITH GC VERIFY ON!”

is there any command to remove this? (i dont know what is it but its annoying now that i dont know how to remove them :o)

Thanks

Check out in session frontend, it’s where profiling is should be option to disable it there

Click the dropdown arrow next to Perspective in the viewport, go to Stat → Hide All.

You can also try bringing up the command line with the ` key and type “stat none”.

In the commandline when you run the game add parameters: -NoVerifyGC -NoAILogging

,This is likely because you used the console command “Stat StartFile” by accident. Using the console command “Stat StopFile” will fix this. Don’t just hide the messages! (open console by pressing ~).

If you are actually profiling your game (in standalone window) and still want to remove these messages do this:  
Click the drop down beside the play button at the top of the UE4 editor → Advanced settings → scroll down to “Play in Standalone Game”. Inside “Additional Launch Parameters” paste -NOVERIFYGC -NOAILOGGING

I realize this is an old question but might help other with a similar issue.

Does this influence the performance in any ways?

Hi, its probably too late for answer, but i just started with unreal engine and found a solution to your error/question.

solution:  
Press ’ (apostrophe) key, while running game, a menu will appear at top left corner as in the screenshot i gave  
press 1 key from numpad to toggle it on/off
