Command Lines
These arguments can be added after the last quotation mark in the target in the properties of your Guild Wars 2 shortcut.
- -autologin

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Guild Wars 2
(NetworkDiag.log). Useful for determining what is wrong when Guild Wars 2 is not functioning properly.- Important: The program terminates after the logfile is created; since Guild Wars 2 will not be able run with this parameter on, make sure to remove it once Guild Wars 2 has finished creating the logfile.
- -email <string>
- Sets the e-mail address, as specified in <string>, on the log-in screen. Combine with -password to create an auto-log-in shortcut for a specific account.
- -fps <number>
- Sets maximum frames per second parameter, as specified in <number>.
- -image
- Forces the game to download all known updates.
- The program terminates after the update is completed; Guild Wars 2 will not be able run with this parameter on.

- There can be up to 25 gigabytes of data to download. Once -image completes, the exact file size of gw2.dat will vary across installations.

- -mce
- Start the client with Windows Media Center compatibility, switching the game to full screen and restarting Media Center (if available) after the client is closed.
