Kanske gammal skåpmat för de flesta, men tänkte att det ändå kunde vara bra att ha detta postat under GW forumet:

There are multiple command line arguments which may be used to change the games behavior during the start-up. These arguments can be set in the properties window of the game shortcut.
Using command line arguments
Instead of using the command line (see image on the right), you can execute switches directly from your Guild Wars shortcut:
Right click on your Guild Wars shortcut and select 'Properties'.
In the 'Target Area' field you will see the location of your Guild Wars executable file: "..\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"
Write the desired command line arguments after the quote marks:
"..\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -perf
Additional commands should follow the first separated by a space
"..\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -perf -diag
It is easier to use the command line itself, reached by clicking the "Start" button and choosing "Run," when you are only needing to run guild wars with an argument once as some are set up for. Just type in the file path to Guild Wars in quotation marks, and add the appropriate switches afterwards, just like using the shortcut method above.
List of command line arguments
-bmp
Forces the game to create screenshots as .BMP files. Use for creating high-quality screenshots at the expense of much larger files.
-diag
Creates, at startup, a detailed diagnostic logfile which contains data about connection tests and hardware information, located in your game directory (..\Guild Wars\NetworkDiag.log). Useful for determining what is wrong when Guild Wars is not functioning properly.
Important: The program terminates after the logfile is created; since Guild Wars will not be able run with this parameter on, make sure to remove it once Guild Wars has finished creating the logfile.
-dsound
Forces the use of old DirectSound software mixer. Good for users whose computers are not compatible with the newer version.
-dx8
Useful for troubleshooting. Forces DirectX 8 compatibility; good for users whose computers are not compatible with the newer version. Using this switch with -noshaders may improve performance as well.
-email
Sets the email address on the login screen. Combine with -password to create an auto-login shortcut for a specific account.
-fps <Number>
Limits the frame rate to <Number> frames per second, saving computer resources.
-image
Forces the game to load a complete update.
Important: The program terminates after the update is completed; since Guild Wars will not be able run with this parameter on, make sure to remove it after all the content has been downloaded.
-mce
Start the client with Windows Media Center compatibility, switching the game to full screen and restarts Media Center (if available) after the client is closed.
-mute
Disables audio output, but still processes audio data internally (so for instance, lip syncing will still function).
-noshaders
Troubleshooting option. Using this switch with -dx8 may improve performance as well.
-nosound
Disables audio system completely.
-noui
Disables the user interface, producing the same effect as when one pushes Ctrl + Shift + H in-game to toggle it.
-password <string>
Enables auto-login if <string> is your account's password. "Remember account name" option must be checked! This parameter must not be preceded by any other parameter except for email.
Warning: Putting your password in a shortcut or a batch file makes it easily accessible to everybody with access to your computer. Never use this option if you are sharing your computer with other people whom you do not trust.
-perf
Displays performance indicators. Triangles, frames per second and transfer rate in bytes per second are displayed in white text in the upper-right corner of the Guild Wars window.
Important: This argument must come after every other one, or else it won't work.
-repair
Attempts to fix the GW.dat file, in which all update information is stored.
Warning: If a lot of content has already been downloaded through updates, be prepared for a long wait as Guild Wars reconstructs the file.
-sndasio
Useful for troubleshooting. Attempts to use an ASIO driver in software mode.
-sndwinmm
Attempts to use the Windows Multimedia audio driver in software mode.
-uninstall
Uninstalls Guild Wars.
-windowed
Forces Guild Wars to run in windowed mode.
Note: You can easily switch to windowed mode by pressing ALT + Enter or clicking the window icon in the upper right corner while the game is already running.
-dx8 och
-noshaders kan vara av visst intresse om man kämpar med prestandan när man spelar GW!
