How to start in DX11 having the launcher skip script
I run Witcher 3 using the "--launcher-skip" by inputting it in the properties but its default launch is at DX12 and frames aren't good.

Is there a line of code needed to add in "--launcher-skip" to launch it in DX11?

Open "launcher-configuration.json" with notepad.
Find the line that says
"fallback": "DirectX 12"
Change to:
"fallback": "DirectX 11"
Save file.

Make sure you have "--launcher-skip" still on the steam launch options.

Edit: explicitly mention to save the file after changes.

go to the witcher 3 file directory, go to bin/ then x64 then locate the witcher 3 .exe. pin it to your task bar then run the game that way.
