Hello,

I recently want to reinstall the Witcher 3 (got the “Play Witcher 3 itches”) but I have seen and heard the next-gen version has a lot of technical issues.

Thus I still want to play the classic version.

I found a GOG support article that it is possible to switch back to the old version on the GOG support site.

But that seems you need to have installed both versions first.
But it feels like a lot of wasted time and data to download both versions just to revert back to the classic.

One workaround to this problem would be to install the classic version offline files through the GOG web, but it would be more convenient to install only the classic version through the GOG galaxy.

Does anyone know if that is something that can be done?

Like install only the classic version 1.60 in GOG galaxy? :)

Thank you so much :D
I am gonna try that.

I really wish they would put easier way to install it.

Hello KimKeylan,
I found another way to install the old-gen version of the Witcher 3.

You need to (Witcher 3 needs to be completely uninstalled first of course), press the settings button next to the “install” > then you need to press “manage installation” > “Configure…” .

After that, you must press the “beta channels” and choose the “Classic” option.

After that, you can choose to install the game, although I ticked out the box “Keep this game up to date” just to be sure
