Feature Suggestion - Launch Options in Windows Xbox Application

justinbrick · Sep 29, 2023

Hi,

For PCs, there is no option to add launch options to games. This is a major mechanics in games for feature flags, and the lack of ability to do so removes half of special features that games provide.

For example, some games provide the ability to switch rendering engine between Vulkan/OpenGL/DirectX, and a lot of times the ability to change between these engines is instrumental to get a game to work in case there is an issue with your GPU on a specific game that is preventing it from launching. In engines like Unity, feature flags are required to switch how full-screen mode works in games as well, which can help with the FPS on certain games.

A feature like this would be a great addition to the Xbox application and increase accessibility for different hardware!

If this is not the right place to make this suggestion, please feel free to reply with the best place for this suggestion - I was unable to find a feature suggestion area, so I would love to see this in the right place so that it gets to the developers.

:)

If you go to properties on the executable

you can launch with arguments on titles that support it.

Since your PC still has enough memory as you mentioned, I would suggest checking for Windows updates!

Go to Windows settings - Applications - Applications and Features - Search the Game - Click on it - advanced options - Click repair, then check again.
