Advanced launch options

For the more expert users, we have added some launch options. Also, there are some options for bug diagnostics. You can add these options by right-clicking SpeedRunners in your Steam library > Properties > Set Launch Options.

  • +res 1920x1080 Sets the resolution.
  • +windowed Opens the game in a window.
  • +borderless Opens the game in a borderless fullscreen window. This will lower performance a bit but makes alt+tab work much quicker than fullscreen.
  • +fullscreen Opens the game in fullscreen mode.
  • +novsync Turns off Vsync.
  • +framelimit 144 Limits the frame rate. While 300 fps is technically the max, we only officially support up to 144 fps.
  • +framelimitmethod 0 Experimental feature. There are 4 ways to limit the frame rate to 0/1/2/3. If you have an irregular framerate play around with them, and see what works best for you.
  • +stats Displays a statistics graph on top of the game. Useful to gather info on performance-related issues.
  • +priority Experimental feature. Changes the thread priority of the game. Available options: normal/abovenormal/high/realtime.
  • +nomusic Turns off the music system.
  • +host Special mode for hosting tournament games as a referee. It will cause the first slot in a lobby not to play in the game, making it effectively a spectator.
  • +arcade Great for a no-worries setup of SpeedRunners in a public place. It will start the game in local party mode. You can only exit out of the game using ALT+F4 on the keyboard. Try it if you are hosting a party, connect 4 controllers and just have it run in this mode.
  • +logload Add additional logs about content loading in the log file.
  • +logtrails Add additional logs about trails in the log file.
  • +logdiscord Add additional logs about discord in the log file.
