Running the client

If the client is installed in Windows, it can be started just as any other Windows application.

If running from a DOS prompt, there are a number of flags and arguments available:
ephenation.exe [--debug] [--testuser] [--ovr] [--singlethread] [--hidegui] [host:port]

The --debug will output extra information on the console. --testuser will log-in to the server without name or password, as a special test user at level 0. This only works if it has been enabled at the server. host:port is the address to connec to to the server. --ovr will set the client in stereo view for the Oculus Rift (use the duplicate display setting on Windows). --singlethread will disable the use for multiple processes for decoding chunks. --hidegui will run the game without showing any GUI. Mostly used for taking pictures.

When running in debug mode, time measurements will be summarized every 5 seconds. It can look as follows:

The time is measured in milliseconds, using OpenGL queries for specific parts of the drawing process.
