SurrealEngine [--url=<mapname>] [--engineversion=X] [Path to game folder]
If no game folder is specified, and the executable isn't in a System folder, the engine will search the registry (Windows only) for the registry keys Epic originally set.
If no URL is specified it will use the default URL in the ini file (per default the intro map).
The --engineversion argument overrides the internal version detected by the engine and should only be used for debugging purposes.
