Basic Profiling

Last updated on

Overview

It's really easy to have AccelByte Development Toolkit (ADT) obtain basic performance profiling for your game. For basic profiling, you get access to GPU and CPU frame cost and frame time in milliseconds, total memory available, and total memory used. You can use all these values to help understand your game's performance. This guide will show you how to set up basic profiling.

Prerequisites

To run basic profiling, you first need to integrate the ADT SDK](/getting-started-guides/first-steps-integrate-blackbox-into-unreal-project/) into your game.

Set up basic profiling in your game

Follow the steps below to profile your game performance:

  1. In ADT Web, select the game you want to profile from the dropdown.

  2. Select the game version.
