What is the performance profiler and how do you use it ?

 

 

The performance profiler

If you are experiencing FPS drops or other performance problems, it is necessary to create a performance log.

 

 

How to create a performance Log:

Performance logging function is bound to the F11 key.
 

Please carry out the following:

1.  Start the game and login etc and wait for hangar screen to load.

2.  Press these keys together to start the profiler: Fn+Alt+F11 (These three buttons together turn the profiler on and off)  (If your keyboard has no Function key, press Alt+F11)

For Windows, that means "Windows key + left alt + F11"

For Mac, that means "Apple key + left alt + F11"

For Linux and other operating system, either "function key + left alt + F11" or just "left alt + F11"

3.  Play several games (at least 3) with the profiler on.

4.  After the end of the last game please press Fn + F11 (F11 if no Function key). This will write the information into the .clog file. You must provide this clog in the report.

5. After pressing F11 to store the log, the profiler can be disabled with the same keys used for enabling it.

 

The profiler tells you if it was enabled or disabled on the top left of your screen.

 

1. Profiler enabled

 

 

2. Storing profiler data into log

 

 

3. Profiler disabled

 

 

After the log has been saved, please provide the full .clog file as per the instructions:

 

A report on performance issues without a performance log will not be accepted anymore.
