If you want to continue getting achievements/playtime via Steam/GOG/Epic Games while playing Witcher Presence, follow option 1
{% endhint %}

Witcher Presence needs the game to run with the `-net -debugscripts` parameters.\
You have two options to enable these: 

1. Configure startup parameters through launcher (Steam/GOG/Epic Games) (recommended)
2. Create custom `witcher3.exe` shortcut

#### Option 1 - Launcher (Steam) (recommended)

If you want to launch via Steam:

1. Open your steam library
2. Right click The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and click properties
3. On the **General** tab you'll find **Launch Options** section
4. Enter `-net -debugscripts` into the launch options
5. Close the game's **Properties** window

{% hint style="warning" %}
Refer to [GOG](https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013424697-How-to-set-Launch-parameters-for-game?product=gog) and [Epic Games](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbmXNN1OV9M) instructions for how to configure launch parameters with alternative launchers
{% endhint %}

#### Option 2 - Custom Shortcut

This method allows you to run the game without a launcher.

1. Navigate to your Witcher 3 install directory\
   Example: `C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt GOTY`
2. If you play on **DirectX 11**, navigate to `bin\x64`\
   If you play on **DirectX 12**, navigate to `bin\x64_dx12`
3. Right click `witcher3.exe` and create shortcut
4. Right click the new Witcher 3 shortcut and click properties
5. Under `Target:` add `-net -debugscripts` to the end of the text
