Command Line Options for Downloadable Client

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

You can start the downloadable client with a number of command line options. Here are some that you might find useful:

• --disable-frame-rate-limit - removes the cap on FPS that forces the application to match the monitor refresh rate

• --show-fps-counter - shows an FPS counter on all screens (not just in battle) and shows GPU memory usage

• --loadURL="<URL>" - loads the specified URL on startup. You can use this option to access the test server, as shown below.

• --openDevTools - opens Chrome dev tools inside the client window.

For convenience, I recommend making a .cmd or .bat script to launch the application with your desired settings. For example, the following script will launch the test server and enable dev tools:

start "" "Tanki Online.exe" "--openDevTools" "--loadURL="https://public-deploy3.test-eu.tankionline.com/browser-public/index.html?config-template=https://c{server}.public-deploy3.test-eu.tankionline.com/config.xml&resources=../resources&balancer=https://balancer.public-deploy3.test-eu.tankionline.com/balancer""

Obviously, you will need to replace "Tanki Online.exe" with the path of the executable (so something like "C:\Users\YOU_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Tanki Online\Tanki Online.exe").
