Benchmark

Automatically run benchmarks to collect repeatable performance metrics for your game.

Benchmark Mod 🧪

🎮 **Automatically benchmark Hogwarts Legacy using FrameView! **

---

📋 Prerequisites

• **NVidia FrameView** (also works with Radeon graphics cards)
• **Note:** The benchmark hotkey must be set to **Scroll Lock**, and a capture delay of 2-4 seconds is recommended.
• **UE4SS**

---

🌟 Function Overview

This mod automatically runs predefined test sequences in three selectable locations: **Hogsmeade**, **Hogwarts Central Hall** and **Hogwarts Grounds**.

Each run will automatically complete the following operations:

• 🧭 Reload player position at floo fire closest to benchmark start point.
• ⛅ Adjust time and weather settings (storm will be activated midway through outdoor testing).
• 🙈 Hide player character and HUD, and reposition camera.
• 📊 Activate FrameView for performance recording.
• 🚶 Automatically move along a series of coordinate points until reaching the end point.
• 🛑 Disable FrameView.

📥 Installation and usage guide

• **Install the module**

Extract all files in `BenchmarkMod.zip` to:

`{Game Directory}\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\Mods\BenchmarkMod\`

• **Configure FrameView**

Open FrameView and double-click `FrameViewToggle.exe`. You should hear an activation tone. Double-click again to deactivate.

*(This usually only needs to be done once, in case Windows blocks the program by default. Alternatively, you can right-click the file > Properties > Unlock.) *

• **Important: Disable UE4SS console**

**Make sure UE4SS is not running a GUI console! **

Open the `UE4SS-settings.ini` file located in the `{game directory}\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Binaries\Win64\` folder. Find the `[debug]` section and make sure it is set as follows:

```ini

ConsoleEnabled = 0

GuiConsoleEnabled = 0

GuiConsoleVisible = 0

```

• **Start the game**

Run the game and load a character save.

• **Start testing**

Press the **F3** key to start the **Hogsmeade** benchmark.

*(If other mods also use the F3 key, it is recommended to temporarily disable them.)*

• **Switch test location**

Open the in-game console (by default pressing the **F10** or **`** key).

• Enter the command `benchmark LOCATION_NAME`, where `LOCATION_NAME` can be one of the following:
• `Hogsmeade`
• `Hogwarts_Central_Hall`
• `Hogwarts_Grounds`
• Then press **F3** to run the test for that location.

🔮 Future Plans

• ⚡ **Batch Test**: Supports running multiple benchmarks at once (for example, enter `benchmark Hogsmeade 3` in the console to run the Hogsmeade test 3 times).
• 🪟 **Optimize experience**: Solve the problem of occasional flickering of the console window when switching FrameView.
• 🏃 **Improved animation**: The current system sets the character speed by slowing down the sprint animation, and we will seek better animation processing solutions in the future.
• 🔄 **Functional Overrides**: Looking for alternatives to the `SimpleMoveToLocation` function.
