In the GIF below you can see it in action searching for issues such as Static meshes with no collision etc:

What is it for?

As your project grows and you add more assets, it’s easy to create lots of smaller problems without even realising it. Things like missing collision on pickup meshes or missing sound classes on sound cues etc. Although small, enough of them can reduce the quality of your game as much as a bigger bug would. Think of death by 1000 cuts (bugs).

With the same concept, as your game expands it is easy for smaller optimisation opportunities to be missed and build up, creating a larger impact on your games framerate. Examples like missing sound concurrency limits, static meshes and skeletal meshes missing LODs etc.

These are the kind of issues the tool is designed to help you find!
