====== Engines ======

===== Unity =====

  * https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PlayerCommandLineArguments.html

  * Most flags apply to any games/programs using Unity engine ((such as [[#djmax_respect_v|DJMAX RESPECT V]] and [[#zeniththe_last_city|Zenith: The Last City]]))

  * [[https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/1735465524702746586/#c1735465524702796023|-silent]]
  * Add to desktop Steam shortcut as ''Steam.exe -fulldesktopres -silent''
  * ''-fulldesktopres'' allows Big Picture mode to use the full desktop resolution, specifically anything above 1080p
