To run the player with remote control from the command line
<player.exe> "tcp://<ip_address>:<port>"
where the ip_address is in the form of a IPV4 IP address. To run on the same machine, the IPV3 loopback address:127.0.0.1 should be used. Note: Plain text host names are not supported, only numerical IP addresses.
The port is a standard TCP port from I-65535. It must match the port the editor is running on.
For example, to connect to local editor use: ScaleformStudioPlayerRelease_OpenGL.exe tcp://127.0.0.1:2015
When the player is run in remote control mode, a message with the connection parameters is displayed in the window and the ability to drag and drop resources onto the player is disabled. Once connected, the editor program can be used to load and play content in the player.

| -st | Force single-threaded rendering. |
| -f | Run in full-screen mode. |
| -sy | Enable vertical synchronization. |
| -fmt | Requested backbuffer format, in the form: C<bits>D<bits>S<bits>, the default (if available) is C32D24S8. If the requested buffer format is not available, the default for the Platform will be used. |
| -sw | Creates a software renderer instead of a hardware one (if available). |

| -ndp | Disable Windows debug popups. |
| -dump | Creates a minidump when unhandled exceptions occur (implies -ndp). |
| -sbuf | Uses static vertex/index buffers, instead of dynamic ones. |
| -sm20 | Forces the use of shader model 2.0 shaders (D3D9). |
| -pos | Set the initial player window position of width and height using -pos X:Y<:M>, the last argument is the optional monitor |
| -max | Set the payer window to be maximized. |
| -res | Override player resolution with custom values of width and height using -res W:H. |
| -q | Quiet. Do not display errors and Lua output. |
