Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

I have some problems with using command line arguments on OSX, i followed the instructions at https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments, and edited my Cidersettings.plist file to include the following line (as a test):

<string>—cmdline “-windowed”</string>

Expected results: gw2 starting in windowed mode.
Actual results: nothing changed.

My original goal was to use a “-email fake@fake.tld -password fakepassword -nopatchui”, this also doesnt work, i am not completely sure if i should seperate each command line option with quotes or just use one long line, but neither seems to work.

<string>—cmdline “-email fake@fake.tld -password fakepassword -nopatchui”</string>
<string>—cmdline “-email fake@fake.tld” “-password fakepassword” “-nopatchui”</string>

I also tried the above with additional quotes around my email adress and password, like:

<string>—cmdline "-email “fake@fake.tld”-password “fakepassword” -nopatchui"</string>

Any input would be appreciated!

The devs gave a different way for setting command line.

If your password contains spaces then you’ll probably need to put them inside single quotes(’).

In your post you are using the wrong quotes. “” are curly quotes which is not the same as "". If you are editing the file with a word processor it is probably automatically converting the "" quotes into curly quotes.

Thanks Khisanth, editing the config file as described in your link works like a charm,
