Launch option to use first gamestart option

[Dima]

Some games have different start options if you start them. Is there a Steam launch option to automatically select the first game start option ?

Sometimes launching from a desktop icon will launch the game in its standard status so you wont see any launchpad. Also if you right click and go to properties in your library of the respective game, each title has launch options you can set in code form so if you can seek a code, you could bypass any lanchpad and even some splash-screens. It all depends on the game though and how the devs have configured the launch framework.

It depends on the game and where you want it to launch to, what you want it to do when it launches.

There are launch options and other tricks, called switches, we can apply to shortcuts (icons on the desktop, or in a folder somewhere. The launch options are usually only used when there are issues with a game. An example would be when an older game's screen resolution size won't run on the computer a person is using. We can apply launch options to set the resolution to a size compatible with the computer so the game runs. Launch options don't work for every single game. They were originally introduced and designed to only work with Valve games and software. A lot of games have adopted them through the steam client so some of the launch option settings work.

Switches can be applied to some exe's or shortcuts to set a resolution size or launch directly into a mod or a particular part of the game instead of having to launch the default game, selecting the mod, activating it, then having the game restart or load the mod.

GTA V has something similar available[support.rockstargames.com]
The "command lines" or "command line parameters" as they're calling them (not the technically correct term as per 1980s to present) can also be added as switches to the command line of a shortcut or exe for it. They've been called switches for as long as I can remember until I just read that. I've been working on and with computers since 1978.

For GTA they can either be added to the file they mention on that page, as switches in the command line of the shortcut or exe, or I *think* but I'm not positive they might be able to be used as launch options through the Steam Client.

Steam Launch Options:

If the game you want to make do whatever it is you want it to do has launch options, there are some default switches that work for every exe in Windows, you can. If the game doesn't have specific parameter switches....you may not be able to get it working. If you add a switch a program doesn't accept it just ignores it and launches normally. If you add a launch option through Steam or a config file like GTA V has it might have a different result like the game won't launch or it will launch with a wonky display or something.
