- An experimental build, known as Xenia Canary, is available with performance improvements and additional features, including Game Patch, ZArchive files (.zar) and Achievement support. These features are not present in the master build and may or may not fix certain games. It is highly recommended over the master build.
Essential improvements
Start game directly from command line
This bypasses the UI window on startup and boots directly into the game, making it suitable for desktop shortcuts and non-Steam game entries.
Use path\to\xenia.exe path\to\game --fullscreen command line argument
