daEditorX Command-Line Reference

Command-Line Arguments

Argument	Description
`<path>.level.blk`	Level to open on startup.
`<path>.dcmd`	Console-batch script to run.
`-ws:<name>`	Selects a named workspace by name.
`-async_batch`	Runs the positional `.dcmd` batch asynchronously. Without it, the batch runs synchronously and daEditorX exits when done. (The syntax is different compared to Asset Viewer.)
`-no_dabuild`	Disables daBuild-cache/on-demand asset building entirely.
`-min_dabuild`	Minimizes daBuild usage: only unscanned textures get built, everything else reads from `.grp` packs.
`-no_src_assets`	Skips scanning source asset folders (uses only cooked/prebuilt data).
`-enable:<plugin>` (repeatable)	Force-enables a named editor plugin regardless of auto-detection/config.
`-disable:<plugin>` (repeatable)	Force-disables a named editor plugin.
`-include_dll_re:<regex>` (repeatable)	Restricts plugin-DLL loading to DLLs whose name matches this regex.
`-exclude_dll_re:<regex>` (repeatable)	Excludes plugin DLLs whose name matches this regex from loading.
`-drv:<name>`	Selects the 3D driver to use (e.g. `stub`, `auto`, `dx11`, `dx12`, `vulkan`). `stub` also forces `-min_dabuild` behavior.
`-lateSceneSelect`	Defers Scene View streaming folder selection until after level load.
`-quiet`	Suppresses interactive dialogs (headless/batch-safe).
`-no_level_file`	Disables per-debug level (e.g.: warning, error, fatal) debug log files.
`-copy_log_to_stdout`	Writes the debug log messages to stdout.
`-fatals_to_stderr`	Also prints fatal error message + callstack to stderr.
`-logerr_to_stderr`	Mirrors `logerr()` messages to stderr as they happen.
`-attach_parent_console`	Attaches to the parent process's console (paired with `copy_log_to_stdout` for `cmd.exe` redirection). Windows-only.
`-noeh`	Disables the top-level SEH wrapper; crashes propagate instead of being caught.

`-config:` Settings

Setting	Default	Description
`-config:debug/profiler:t=<all\\|gpu\\|cpu\\|platform\\|off>`	off	Legacy switch for which daProfiler event groups are captured: `all` enables platform+CPU+GPU events, sampling, and spike saving; `gpu` enables CPU+GPU events; `cpu` enables CPU events only; `platform` enables platform events only; `off` disables profiling.
`-config:debug/profiler/auto_dump_startup:b=true`	false	Dumps a daProfiler capture immediately after startup loading completes. It is saved beside the log file.
`-config:debug/profiler/auto_dump:b=true`	false	Dumps a daProfiler capture on application shutdown, before the final tick. It is saved beside the log file.
`-config:debug/dontUseCpuInBackground:b=<...>`	true	Allows disabling the performance limitations that are set by default if the application is not active.
`-config:limitFps:b=<...>`	true	Toggles the software sleep-based frame limiter in the main loop that paces draws to the act-rate. When it's false the engine renders as fast as it can.
`-config:video/driver:t=<...>`	"auto"	Selects the 3D driver to use (e.g. `stub`, `auto`, `dx11`, `dx12`, `vulkan`). Same effect as `-drv:`.
