How to remove Launcher CDPR from The Witcher 3 (12/14/2022) (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)

SDProjects are NOT people! From a normal Witcher launcher of the "start button = game start" type, they made some kind of squalor like wordoftenx or a blizzard launcher. Why do I need it? I did not ask for this and did NOT agree to this in the agreements when I bought the game in 2015 with a pre-order. Below is an instruction for those who, like me, do not like the changes.



To remove the parash sdpr launcher, do the following:
->> Library
->> RMB on The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt
->> Properties
->> General
->> Launch Options
-> Paste --launcher-skip
->> close the window, run game.
Profit!

Disabling forced launch on dx12
I found a solution to force launch on dx12. It is not very user friendly,

All you need is five steps:

1) switch to the "classic" version in the beta section.
2) Remove the --launcher-skip command from the launch parameters
3) in the Witcher 3 folder, open the 'launcher-configuration.json' file in notepad, change the last line "fallback" from "DirectX 12" to "DirectX 11"
4) start the game , please set it to DX11 in the launcher for the first time as it is set to DX12 by default.
5) Change --launcher-skip to parameters Now --launcher



-skip will work on "classic" version of DX11


PS Programs file named CD Projekt Red without extension.




This will prevent a future game from creating a folder in this directory, since the file already exists.
