Comic Sans MS
20

Hack: Discord Rich Presence

These command line arguments only take effect when the Discord Rich Presence hack is enabled.

-discordloadinitialise

Added in Version 1.23.10.

Makes the hack initialise Discord RPC / GameSDK as soon as the hack loads. This used to be the default behaviour prior to Version 1.22 but it often causes rich presence to not work because Discord handles this poorly.

Hack: Modern Computer Support

These command line arguments affect the Modern Computer Support hack.

-nononenglishwindowsmousebuttonfix

-noproperclientareacursorcentringandclipping

Added in Version 1.26.1.

Disables fixes for an issue where the game incorrectly centered the cursor to the window instead of it's client area and an issue where the game assumes the non-client area was 30 pixels at the top and 10 pixels at the other edges when clipping the cursor.

Hack: Refraction Shader Support

These command line arguments only take effect when the Refraction Shader Support hack is enabled.

-continuousscreenshots

-debugscreenshots

Makes the hack save multiple screenshots of a single frame with various differences.

-debugscreenshots

Hack: Sphere Maps

These command line arguments only take effect when the Sphere Maps hack is enabled.

This makes slight tweaks to how the sphere map PDDI shader added by this hack works to make it more like the Xbox version of the game.

-xboxspheremaps

-ignorepacketnumber

Added in Version 1.23.

Makes the hack ignore whether or not the State packet number changed.

Makes the hack use XInputGetState function instead of a similar undocumented function. Using this argument will prevent you from mapping controls to the Guide button.

-nogetstateex

-noxinput

Added in Version 1.23.1.

This makes it so the hack does not make the game use XInput.

Despite this seeming counter-intuitive, it would still allow the other features of the hack to work while Windows' XInput-to-DirectInput backwards compatibility handles inputs.

-noxinput

-noxinputdisable

Added in Version 1.23.1.

Makes it so XInput does not get disabled when the window is defocused.

-noxinputdisable

-noxinputenable

Added in Version 1.23.

Makes it so the hack doesn't call XInputEnable if it's available. Instead it will use a function that replicates its functionality (the same one used by default when the function isn't available).
