problem with getting command line functions to work

from GalCiv2 Forums
I can't get the command line cheats to work. I created the shortcut and added cheat after the quotes. here is the the thing....when I click apply, the quotes around C:\Games\GalCiv2\GalCiv2.exe disappear.

so it always has C:\Games\GalCiv2\GalCiv2.exe cheat as the shortcut instead of "C:\Games\GalCiv2\GalCiv2.exe" cheat

other command line functions such as windowed mode doesn't work either from I assume this reason. can anyone help? or do I have to reinstall to default directory, maybe?

I know its a late reply, but perhaps this will help others. The reason it removed the quotes is because you don't need them. Quotes are used when there are spaces in the path. I do not believe this has anything to do with why they don't work. I wish they would tell me why though.

I have gotten some commandline stuff to work. I haven't tried cheating mind you but at the end of the target line I added a space and then NOINTRO to skip the intro screen. Also for a time I had FRAMERATE with another space so I could see the render frame rate without using an external program...

It's possible that it is case sensitive and that cheat may be all caps so instead of cheat try CHEAT.

Thats a guess, I know that the other 2 commandline items are all caps internally though...
