executable options

[Raath]

I did a search but can't find any articles that list out available start options for the executable. Is it possible to start the game using different window modes?

I play the game on a linux laptop with 1366x768 display. If I connect it up to an external monitor then I like to play in windowed mode where as if I play mobile in fullscreen. ATM I have to switch the mode type then exit the game and go back in to change the mode.

I'd idealy like to create 2 shortcuts so I can start the game either in windowed or full screen depending if I'm mobile or at one of my desks.

You'll probably want to use the --fullscreen, --windowed and --resolution WIDTHxHEIGHT flags. (all available flags and how to use them on your OS can be found at the link above)

Also moved the thread to help/troubleshooting.
