How to bypass Gog Launcher?

[Samikaz]

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to bypass the GoG launcher and go to the game directly. It's annoying to loose the steam features like FPS show and steam overlay.

--launcher-skip in launch options
however overlays of all kinds are broken due to CDPR choosing to incorrectly run the game as DX11-on-DX12, so that's not fixable till they fix the mess they've made
but at least we have another bloatware launcher and some ball sack armor right

If you are talking about redlauncher, which was recently added to Steam version, you can disable it by putting --launcher-skip in Properties, General tab, Launch options.

Bear in mind that will stick you with dx12, to skip lamelauncher and start in dx11, do as above and go to W3 directory, open file named "launcher-configuration.json" with notepad or so and change last input to "fallback": "DirectX 11" (from 12)

(My SteamOverlay seems to work on DX11 just fine, fps counter too)

Thank you both! That worked. Yes, game is not really well optimised. That's fine, I can wait a bit longer for them to iron it out.
