    I'd really like to be able to get timestamped player.log output. I found a post on the wishlist forum but it's eight years old and it seems to be locked so I couldn't respond to it. Wrapping the Debug functions is a work-around but as the original post points out there's some serious drawbacks to that. I hope that creating a new post for this is not against the rules but I feel like this would be a really useful feature when trying to do after action review on your test sessions especially when you need to line up events with your testing notes.

    We do have timestamps. Is this what you mean?

    I don't believe there is a built in way of getting those timestamps in the Player log from a build. Just available in the console.

    Yes exactly, I'm struggling to do after action review because the logs generated by builds aren't timestamped.
