Role

Documentation about this feature, since it is completely missing and is a mandatory part about playing classic, indev, infdev and alpha servers

Suggestion

Add documentation on what it does, what versions that it is compatible with

Benefit

Because absolutely no documentation is present unlike everything else

It tries to join the specified server on launch by passing the --server command-line argument to the game (or --quickPlayMultiplayer for modern versions). It should be compatible with any version that supports either of those two options (which I think includes every version that supports multiplayer). The address is in the same format as you would use when joining a server from the client itself in a modern version (<ip>:<port>, port is optional if the server is using the default port).
