Work in Progress
This article is currently a work in progress. As such, it may contain some editing notes in addition to information. Please be patient, it is being worked on and will be in a finished state before long! The editor who marked this article as WIP added the following note:
Editor's Note: All the commands listed here are undergoing testing to find out if they are indeed user level command line parameters (or some other form of command), whether or not they work, and to determine if they are dangerous to use. Please ignore this page until testing has completed (at that time this work in progress notification will be taken down).
Date noted: 2023-06-21

This is a list of user level Command Line Parameters that players have access to use while launching City of Heroes/Villains, in alphabetical order. In cases where the command line parameter can also be used as a slash command, the launch parameters will link to the slash command page.

Ka-Pow!

Unknown or Non-functional Command Line Parameters †

 
-safemode number Forces most compatible graphics and audio settings. (non-functional)

† It's possible that many of these command line parameters work, but how to get them to work is currently unknown. Maybe you'd have better luck in figuring some of these out? We could use your help...
