On Xbox 360 RFS this will be forced to smb://hostname/game.-BiDefines the Build ID used in Phonehome-BeetleMake:Is it for the Bugbait E3 2003 demo? This allows IsLoadingBugBaitReport to return true.-bugreporterdllName of the error reporter DLL to use-BuildcubemapsCreates cubemaps when fully loaded into a map, then exits the game.-cc-SyntaxPrint details about the localized strings we're loading.-ClientportSpecifies the client port. Default is 27002.-compareSkips everything, just merge the reslist from temp folders back into the final folder.-conclearlogDelete theconsole.logText file at startup.

After the game is launched with this launch parameter, the selected value will be saved for future launches. and video settings are temporarily reset (but not saved), so it is highly recommended to remove this boot parameter after first boot with it. Seemat_dxlevel.-to editAccording to the comments, -tools is supposed to replace. Does nothing except disable all file logging for creating reslists.-Enable Fakeip-EndgamevidIf specified, startup videos are not skipped and EndGameVids.txt is used instead of StartupVids.txt.

Only works with dedicated servers.-fs_targetSets the game target directory to copy files to, used with -fs_log.-full_memory_dumps-full screenor-fullForces the engine to start in full screen mode.-g15Enables Logitech G15 support. G15 is only supported inSiN Episodes: Genesis.^[confirm]-SpielSpecifies the game or mod directory from which the game will be loaded. Usually set by default unless specified by the user.

Enables use of the devshots_nextmap command-Manufacturer ListsMake relists. Must be run with -textmode. If you pass a parameter here, a script file will be used to control more complex Maker List operations (multiple passes, etc.).-mat_aaqualitySet the MSAA quality level, does the same as the convar mat_aaquality-mat_antialiasanti-aliasing. Can be set to 8, any amount over 8 will not sharpen the edges of the game world.-with_softwaretlEnables software vertex processing.-mat_vsyncEnables vertical sync-maxdownloadfilesizembCS:GO 5/1/2014, client launch option -maxdownloadfilesizemb N if clients need to download even larger files from community servers.-maxdxlevelLimits the maximumdxlevelto use.
