## Arguments
**Note:** Just like the other executables, it requires you to pass these using the [SqexArg](concept/sqexarg) format.
- ExecuteArg
- This is a strange argument. This appears to be a random gibberish of numbers:
`/T =1000000 /ExecuteArg =14431503 /UserPath =C:/users/yourname/Documents/My Games/FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn`
In reality, decompiling the launcher reveals that they are literally sprintf'ing in this format:
`%02d%02d%02d%02d`
- 1st arg - current month + 1
- 2nd arg - current day
- 3rd arg - current hour
- 4th arg - current minute
- UserPath
- Your usual path to your FFXIV data folder in Documents.
