Command line options

[ex-railwayman]

I've done a copy and paste of this information onto the British forum since the new update yesterday. I appreciate it goes back to 2014, but, I'm sure many of these commands can still be used today, not everyone over there is a member of this forum.

If you don't approve then you'll have to fly to England to smack my bottom......

Take care everybody.

Cheerz. Steve.

Just tested the EnableAsyncKeys launch option, works like a charm, but I must say it was a quiet stretch in the Marias Pass mountains.

Option -Language=xx is also current. Just tested successfully.

Just tried -AutoTest but am not sure what happened. It shows some kind of text based settings menu. More info and suggestions very welcome.

Just tested -ShowSoundDeviceSelector. Not much choice for me, but possibly it does for people with more hardware ?

Just tested -ShowAudioConsists. Results in a visual indication (front external cam) of audio of vehicles, trains, et cetera.

As many of the content creators and trouble shooters already know LOGMATE is a great help in finding the culprit of an issue, A LogMate report will tell us exactly what is happening in the game before and during any issue you may be encountering.

The launch option -LogMate works perfidy.

Logmate is actively supported by DTG and has its dedicated "how-to" page --> https://dovetailgames.freshdesk.com/sup ... te-report-

Logmate can also be ran manually by executing the file LogMate.exe

Just tested the launch option -EnableSoundDebugDialogs and it seems to be a good tool for trouble shooting sound issues. Be aware that you might need to set the game to windowed mode (game graphics menu) to see the dialogs.

Testing -ShowControlStateDialog was successful, lots of additional "useful" information in this expanded HUD. Be aware that you might need to set the game to windowed mode (game graphics menu) to see the dialogs.
