Launch options

[TaTa]

I've came across multiple launch options in the past that I use today, but they're either really hard to find or I only found them because a friend told me (idk how they found out the launch option). So could you (developers) post all the launch options that you don't mind the community using?

As far as I know these are known

+search_distance worldwide/near/default/far
+nomusic
+priority high
+windowed
+fullscreen
+framelimit <max frame limit>
+novsync
+stats
gives a graph, the green line is framerate. The blue line is what part of the cpu SpeedRunners is using, while red line is what the overall PC is using
+res <width>x<height> (eg: +res 1280x720)
+host

The ones not mentioned above:
+borderless
borderless windowed mode
+priority normal/abovenormal/high/realtime
experimental thread priority settings, mostly a failed experiment
+arcade
A foolproof demo mode featuring only local party mode, which you can't exit out of (other than alt+f4). It's what we use at shows.

Thanks for the help guys

Gert, I was also wondering, would it be possible to add a slow-motion mode in solo practice? I was thinking now that after you win a round, it will slow the game down to show the player, and maybe it woldn't be as hard to reuse the feature somewhere else :)

Technically it would be possible. I'm not too enthusiastic about adding another 2 buttons that may mess with the game in unexpected ways to solo mode. Also are you sure you want to practice more slowely? If you just want to view the game in slomo you can use the replay player for that.

The intention for playing slow motion would be to do potentially faster/unseen strats that are either hard to find or hard to hit in a normal time frame. While it would be a cool feature just to be able to play in slow motion, my purpose for it would be practice and discovery. Replays for me are very glitchy (It looks like I'm lagging in most of the replays) and solo replays aren't a thing yet ;-;

And I understand where you're coming from with adding more buttons. But you could have it as a launch option such as "+timescale <value>", and a value of 1 being normal time scale, 0.5 being half, etc. (and this only applying to practice modes of course)
