Hi,

I cant connect to insights. Nothing appears in insights window.

I’ve tried to connect via Launch Parameters, but it wont work:

Also tried it via console while game is running as standalone, but its not better. First it says i cant start tracing because its already traning, but when i type trace.status it says theres no connection xD:
