https://blog.audiokinetic.com/sdk-runtime-performance-improvements-in-wwise-2022.1
Base on the blog, there is a new CPU profiling feature providing a timer scope in Wwise Authoring Tools which need a hidden setting to enable. Please tell me how to enable it, it's a super useful feature for me.

  • Shutdown all instances of Wwise (important)
  • Edit the file:
    • WINDOWS: %APPDATA%\Audiokinetinc\Wwise\Wwise.wsettings
    • MAC: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Audiokinetic/Wwise/Wwise.wsettings
  • Add the following line along with other properties:
    <Property Name="Game Profiler\EnableCpuTimeline" Type="bool" Value="True"/>
  • Save
  • Restart Wwise

Important: this feature is intended for advanced and technical users. Prior experience and familiarity with other CPU profilers is strongly recommended.This feature is experimental and not documented, is use-at-your-own-risk (e.g. if you run into problems, you can let us know, but don't expect a prioritized response) Some of the information may be very obscure without in-depth, familiarity of the Wwise runtime.
