It's highly possible you're running on a supported game. I had a vprof1.txt in that directory once, and it said "no samples". I had thought I created the file, but it's highly possible it does work. If it doesn't work for you, I have a horrible, horrible SM extension available. What it does is capture VProf output text and will write it to a file. What it isn't is portable across platforms, good, or even not a cat killer. But if you're after trying the vprof approach, you're welcome to try it. I can probably fix it up (and make it a MM:S plugin, un-hardcode things) if there's any interest, but I'm hoping Valve fixes VProf before that happens. I probably won't compile/support a Windows version as VTrace / Telemetry is probably a better way forward.
The files will be dumped in the directory that Peter Jerde mentioned (vprof/). If the directory doesn't exist, you'll probably have to create it by hand. http://stuff.plaguefest.com/kyle/vprof.tar.xz ( tar xJvf vprof.tar.xz ) There's only TF and CS:S binaries in there. The extension can probably be independent, but this isn't intended as a fix, rather a stopgap. If you've never used a lone extension before, you either need to manually load it, or create a .autoload file alongside the extension (VProfExt.autoload). Hope this helps, Kyle. PS: If your cat does die, it was this.
