Tommy Refines stated that the following [[Glossary:Command line arguments|command line parameters]] work.
 
−
* The command line allows you to change detail, resolution, and windowed/fullscreen status. When setting multiple options they must be separated with a space.
 
−
 
 
−
====Fullscreen / Windowed====
 
−
* <code>-fullscreen</code> Sets the game to run in full screen mode
 
−
* <code>-windowed</code> Sets the game to run in windowed mode
 
−
 
 
−
====Resolutions====
 
−
{{ii}} These are the only supported resolutions from the command line:
 
−
 
 
−
* <code>-640x480</code>
 
−
* <code>-800x600</code>
 
−
* <code>-1024x768</code>
 
−
* <code>-1280x720</code>
 
−
* <code>-1920x1080</code>
 
−
 
 
−
===Detail Settings===
 
−
This will help address lag issues if you are experiencing them.
 
−
 
 
−
* <code>-ultralowdetail</code> - Runs the game at the lowest detail, parallax is taken out, particle effects are ignored, animals are missing, set pieces are gone, lighting is ignored, images are lowest possible resolution (made for integrated graphics though not officially supported)
 
−
 
 
−
* <code>-lowdetail</code> - Runs the game with lowest resolution images, lighting is ignored, particle effects are ignored (use this if you are having lag on CHAD, Dr. Fetus, or levels where you die from moving platforms)
 
−
 
 
−
* <code>-meddetail</code> - Runs the game with medium resolution images (mid range setting, run this if you are having slight lag)
 
−
 
 
−
* <code>-highdetail</code> - Runs the game with highest resolution images (run this if you meet my minimum requirements listed above)
 
−
 
 
−
If you wanted to run in fullscreen at the highest resolution at the highest detail, your command line parameters should be:
 
−
 
 
−
* <code>-fullscreen -highdetail -1920x1080</code>
 
−
 
 
−
If you have frame rate issues, your command line parameters should be:
 
  
−
* <code>-windowed -lowdetail -640x480</code>
