Turning off performance profiling?
I get a strange overlay on my screen sometimes while adjusting the view using Alt+[Direction Keys] on my laptop. It's possible that I'm hitting the Insert[Numpad 0]/right shift key/Enter/End[Numpad 1] with my pinky. At any rate, I get a message stating that performance profiling is "NOT ENABLED" and the "Profile Type" is "SHALLOW". I'm not sure what button combination triggers this but I can't find a way to turn off the screen overlay - which lists function calls, fps, and a performance graph, other than exiting to Windows and restarting the game.

Question One: Is there an option to disable/unbind this key combination?

Question Two: Does anyone know of the key combination to turn off this overlay?

Thanks,

We can see the world Stats by using Shift+F11 and hit shift+F11 4 times to close.

Other Stats using Ctrl+H

You should share a Steam screenshot = will help to see.

Thanks. I'll try that. I figured out how to take screenshots but I haven't figured out how to share them. There also doesn't seem to be anything in the forum post editor to suggest that I can upload a file or embed an image...

The Steam screenshot tool should autostart after you exit the game if you took any screenshots in your game session. That's the easiest way, I think. Does it not start for you? Could be some switch or setting somewhere...

F12 in-game to take a Steam screen and go to "View" > "Screenshots" on top of your Steam app to see all your game screens (if the screenshots window does not open auto)

Ctrl + H was the one I was looking for! Thanks very much! I have idea how I was managing to toggle that while adjusting the view. I guess I haven't completely overcome my rogue-like/vim keybinding habits.

Sorry to necro a post, but I can find no info on this... what exactly is "performance profiling" mode and how do I enable it?

I really don't know but I know that it's Not needed to play SE, it's more Dev Tool, imo.

And never be shy to create a new Steam forum discussion when you have a question cause me or the Veterans will answer you within 24 hours and will avoid reports on you from the community about "Necroing".

Edit

I am not a Dev but Admin Moderator.

If anyone else comes across this and needs a fix, the shortcut seems to be Alt + . on the numpad to show or hide this overlay.
