With the new VRChat launcher introduced in the latest patch (2021.2.1), we can no longer use launch parameters from the website. The website now uses the "launch.exe" instead of "launch.bat". With the "launch.bat" we could put in parameters in the file such as "--no-vr" to launch from the website in desktop mode. That made things really convenient especially if I want to launch the game directly into a world without using vr or using other parameters.
