forcing DX11 on game without steam launch codes when offline?

[maya.yokia]

sometimes i have no internet and steam still requires me to log on to acess my library even if i set staroffline mode however i need the game to run the 64bit version which i always have to tick when starting game from the library so it can run that version in DX11 it runs better then the 32bit version it is set as for default. however if i simply click my shortcut it takes me into the 32bit version which i do not want. is there anyway i can change it to use DX11 from my local files?

You can find the 64bit exe under "\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Viscera\Binaries\Win64\UDK.exe"
Then you'd simply make a shortcut of that and append the "-DX11" tag to the end of the commandline.

how do I access the command line if team will not let me if it has been a week since logging on so i may not use the steam launcher

By making a shortcut, you don't use Steam, the game doesn't need steam, or its launcher to run.

If you just make a new shortcut of the game's exe, you can then edit the shortcut's properties and add the -DX11 tag to the end of the "Target" field. Then just simply run the shortcut.
No Steam needed.

The shortcut you probably have at the moment is the one created by Steam, which first launches the Steam client and THEN the game. This is wrong. You'll want a new shortcut made from the "\Binaries\Win64\UDK.exe" file.
