So i'm ecstatic you guys finally got a DX11 eve client out the door but is it possible to launch the game in DX11 mode without using the launcher?

I'm no stranger to making exefile.exe custom shortcuts but what would I need to add to one to get the client to start in DX11 mode?

I need my Logout button... I know it still exists What?

So after some really random luck and the power of reddit I've succeeded in making the eve client work in DX11 without using the launcher.

* made a new desktop shortcut to exefiile.exe in the eve bin directory
* added /triPlatform=dx11 /noconsole
* DX11 works just fine without using launcher
* Proof http://i.imgur.com/G9advDN.png
* The mysterious logout button also still exists *shh* Big smile
