Full list of PC command line parameters for L.A. Noire

Last Updated: December 16, 2023

Question: I would like to know the command lines I can use for L.A. Noire on PC. How can I use these command lines, and what options do I have?

Answer: Command line parameters can be added to the "commandline.txt" file in the root of the game folder. If this file doesn't exist, you can create it by right clicking in the game install directory, select New and select Text Document. Rename this file to commandline.txt.

Note: For Steam players, right-click your game and click Properties, then on the General tab, under Launch Options, type the commands you wish to use.

Please see below for the various command lines that can be used:

-windowed

  • Run game in a window

-ignorefocus

  • Don't pause the game if you alt-tab or click out of its window

-str

  • Enable single threaded renderer, which may improve performance or compatibility on some systems

-npd

  • Disable the 'D3D_PUREDEVICE' flag from device creation. May help if you have graphics compatibility issues

-L

  • Change the language (english, french, german, italian, spanish)
