Some fixes require passing command line arguments to programs.

Windows XP/7

  1. Create a shortcut to the program.
  2. Right click on the shorcut and choose "Properties".
  3. Make sure the "Shortcut" tab is selected.
  4. In the "Target" field, you'll see a line like this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Evil Publishing\Rushed Game\game.exe"
  5. Type the option (argument) after the double quotes. Make sure there is a space between the double quotes and between each argument. For example, after adding the -windowed option, the line will look like this:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Evil Publishing\Rushed Game\game.exe" -windowed
  6. Click OK.

Steam

  1. Open game library
  2. Right click on the game and select "Properties"
