Hitch Hunter helps you find out why your Unreal Engine project stutters.

It detects performance hitches during Play In Editor and analyzes what likely caused them — for example Game Thread bottlenecks, GPU spikes, garbage collection or asset loading.

Instead of only showing frame times, Hitch Hunter gives you the likely cause, a confidence level, supporting evidence and practical troubleshooting steps.
