Does launching the game from Vortex with the Steam flag "update only if launched" enabled avoid updating the game? Edit: I looked over some of the Skyrim forums and people there claim Vortex won't trigger the update. <https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/qpjn3y/preventing_skyrim_on_steam_from_updating/>

I don't mind foregoing the Steam achievements if it means that I can use BiA and continue to make my own little changes to the balance of W3EE Redux. Your method seems kind of hard on the hard drive space. Did you try the method Gabriel424 mentioned about adding Witcher 3 as a Non-Steam game? I feel like I don't understand how to go about doing that, but I'd like to try it with some other game to figure out exactly what to do so that everything will be ready before the new update drops Dec.14th. I used to be excited about this update but now I'm scared about how it will break so many of the mods I enjoy. I'd rather just play on the old version until I finish my current playthrough, then come back in a few years whenever I get around to picking up the game again once I get a new PC.

I have over a hundred mods, an older PC with a videocard that doesn't support ray-tracing, and no interest in the new content. My copy is the Steam version of Witcher 3. What can I do to ensure that I can continue to play the game without the update breaking half of my mods? It would be nice not having to go into Offline Mode each and every time I try to startup Witcher 3, and pray that I never make a mistake. Will there be a deconversion patch that keeps the game at v.1.31, much like how there was a mod that reverted it back from 1.32 to 1.31?
