Command Line Options
You can use various command line options when launching Homeworld2 to set some game options.To do so, you must edit the Homeworld2 shortcut icon placed on your desktop.
Right click on the icon and go to Properties and you will find the path set to the homeworld2.exe.
Normally as "C:\Program Files\Sierra\Homeworld2\Bin\Release\Homeworld2.exe"
You can put the command line options right after it with a space in between.
For example, if you do not want to load the starting Sierra movie when launching Homeworld2, you add
-nomovies
in the end of that command line path.
Also, if you want to set the screen resolution you will add,
-w 1280 -h 1024
as '-w' sets the width and '-h' sets the height of the resolution. This becomes handy for people using such resolution that is not listed in the Options menu in the game.
And when you play a modification, you should add,
-overridebigfile
to let the modification take over the original content.
There are more options you can find, but these are mainly the useful ones.
