[Guide] How to pass command line arguments to the mac client

This guide will show you, how to pass command line arguments to the mac client. This will be important, if you want to repair your client (with “-repair”) for example. For a list of more command line arguments visit this page in the official Guild Wars 2 wiki.

Find your “Guild Wars 2.app” right-click it and select “show package contents”
navigate throw “Contents” -> “Resources” to locate “CiderSettings.plist”
open this file with a text editor of your choice (XCode or an other text editor with plist support will work best, but the standard TextEdit will also be ok)
find the line: <string>—cmdline ""</string> (in TextEdit and other featureless text editors each " will be displayed as:
```
&quot;
```
insert your command line parameter in between both " or both
```
&quot;
```
(for -repair it should look like in the attached image below)
save the file and start your “Guild Wars 2.app”, which should now run in this case in repair mode
