Command line

There are some command line options available when launching Guild Wars. You will need to change "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" to wherever you actually have installed Guild Wars.


 * Logging in automatically:
 * "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -email "email address" -password "password"

Note: The email commandline was removed. You can still auto loggin, you just have to log in once and save your email with the checkbox. And use the following.


 * "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -password "password"


 * Frames per second, polygons, and network traffic monitor:
 * "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -perf


 * Setting heapsize
 * "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -heapsize
 * Heapsize should be set to an optimal value of half your ram, plus three zeros.
 * i.e. 512mb RAM, 256000 value. Command line would look like:
 * "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -heapsize 256000
 * Important: Testing shows that this command line switch must follow all other command line parameters:
 * "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -perf -heapsize 256000
 * and not:
 * "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -heapsize 256000 -perf


 * Forcing DirectX 8 (may allow AA on older cards):
 * "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -dx8
