Command Line Parameters

From the MultiPlayer manual:

“The applicable instance and the quiet mode are entered with command line parameters:

  • /DX: X refers to the applicable instance; e.g.: /D0 (Device 0: first MultiPlayer instance) if /DX is left out, Device 0 (MultiPlayer 1) will be used

  • /Q: Quiet-Mode; the ”Evaluation-Dialog” does not appear; this parameter can be input so that an AutoStart is possible even with an Evaluation version.”
