Command Line Switches

You can also use some of the commands shown above by inserting them into the command line for your Star Wars Battlefront icon. You can't use the default SWB icon though, as that points to the game's launcher. Instead, go to your \Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\ directory, right-click on the Battlefront.exe file and select Send To>Desktop to create a new desktop icon. Then go to this new desktop icon for Battlefront.exe, right-click on it and select Properties. In the Target box you may see the following:

"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Battlefront.exe"

You can now put a space after the last quote mark and insert a command like /win to run the game in windowed mode. You can also 'stack' commands by placing several of them on one line, for example:

"C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront\GameData\Battlefront.exe" /win /nomovies

The commands most useful to players at the moment would be:

/win - run the game in windowed mode for a performance improvement on low-end machines

/nointro - skips the introductory logos when the game loads up, speeding up loading time

/nostartupmusic - Disables the background music which plays when the game starts up, speeding up loading time and reducing memory usage

/nomovies - disables the blue wireframe background movies which play on the in-game menus. Saves memory and speeds up loading time and menu access.

/resolution [width height] - sets the resolution for the game.

/audiosamplerate [Rate] - sets the sample rate for all audio, and by selecting a lower value, e.g. 11000 you may improve performance at the cost of audio quality. Alternatively to ensure the highest quality set this to 44100.

/audiomixbuffer [Milliseconds] - sets the buffer size for audio streaming, can resolve audio issues such as crackling

/resolution [width height] - sets the resolution for the game.

My window is quite small as you can see: http://gyazo.com/7930553c8b1ac8ffe59760f81e1a84ba

I assume that the the command above that u listed (an i quoted) will set the preferred size of this window, what width height number would i put in so the it takes up half of my screen rather than 1/6th?

You can set your resolution to whatever you wish with Battlebelk's Custom Resolution Launcher.

If you don't know the size of your screen, you can go to this website: http://www.whatismyscreenresolution.com/
I used it when I wasn't sure.

I'm no computer expert, but I assume you can just divide your screen height and width by two and set that as your resolution in SWBF to make it take up half of your screen.

In the .ini file, you'll see something like this:

Code Select Expand

[CMD]
COMMAND_LINE=/win /noframelock /nointro /nowait /nostartupmusic /nomovies

[IN_GAME_RESOLUTION]
WIDTH=___ (enter the width you'd like SWBF to run in here)
HEIGHT=___ (enter the height you'd like SWBF to run in here)

The command lines in there are optional--those are the one's I use.

Be sure to remove the "enter the height..." and "enter the width..." comments I added if you decide to copy-paste the code I posted.
