<p>Launch options: graphics API, safe rendering, processor share for loading</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Launch options&#039;&#039;&#039; are words added to the command that starts the game. They override your [[Settings]] for that launch only, and they help when the game will not start, crashes while loading, or makes the rest of your computer struggle while it loads.<br /> <br /> == Setting them in Steam ==<br /> # In your Steam Library, right-click &#039;&#039;&#039;TeamSpec&#039;&#039;&#039; and choose &#039;&#039;&#039;Properties&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> # On the &#039;&#039;&#039;General&#039;&#039;&#039; tab, type the options into &#039;&#039;&#039;Launch Options&#039;&#039;&#039;, separated by spaces.<br /> # Start the game. To stop using them, clear the box.<br /> <br /> == Options ==<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> ! Option !! What it does<br /> |-<br /> | &lt;code&gt;--rendering-driver vulkan&lt;/code&gt; || Starts with the Vulkan graphics API, whatever &#039;&#039;&#039;Graphics API&#039;&#039;&#039; is set to in [[Settings]] &gt; Video.<br /> |-<br /> | &lt;code&gt;--rendering-driver d3d12&lt;/code&gt; || Starts with Direct3D 12 instead.<br /> |-<br /> | &lt;code&gt;--safe-rendering&lt;/code&gt; || Turns threaded rendering off, and while a loading screen is up, prepares the game&#039;s graphics one piece at a time instead of on several cores at once. Loading takes longer. Try it if the game crashes on startup or while loading.<br /> |-<br /> | &lt;code&gt;--compile-thread-ratio&lt;/code&gt; &#039;&#039;share&#039;&#039; || How much of your processor the game may use to prepare its graphics, from &lt;code&gt;0&lt;/code&gt; to &lt;code&gt;1&lt;/code&gt;. The default is &lt;code&gt;0.75&lt;/code&gt;, three quarters, which leaves the rest of your computer room to keep working while the game loads. A lower value such as &lt;code&gt;0.5&lt;/code&gt; leaves more room and loads more slowly; &lt;code&gt;1&lt;/code&gt; lets the game use all of it, and &lt;code&gt;0&lt;/code&gt; removes the limit.<br /> |}<br /> <br /> For example, &lt;code&gt;--rendering-driver vulkan --safe-rendering&lt;/code&gt; starts with Vulkan and safe rendering together.<br /> <br /> == If the game will not start ==<br /> * Try the other graphics API first: &lt;code&gt;--rendering-driver vulkan&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;--rendering-driver d3d12&lt;/code&gt;. If one cannot start at all, the game falls back to the other on its own.<br /> * If it starts but crashes while loading, add &lt;code&gt;--safe-rendering&lt;/code&gt;.<br /> * If your computer stutters or its sound cuts out while the game loads, try &lt;code&gt;--compile-thread-ratio 0.5&lt;/code&gt;.<br /> <br /> The first launch after a game update or a graphics driver update takes longer than usual, because the game prepares its graphics again for your hardware. Later launches reuse that work.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Settings]]<br /> * [[Developer console]]<br /> <br /> {{Game nav}}<br /> [[Category:Gameplay]]</div>
