How can I turn off combat signals?

Question

I started the game on Normal difficulty.

The manual says:

Easy – perfect for novice players (not only of The Witcher). At this level, game elements are introduced gradually. Opponents cause less damage and Geralt gains experience more quickly. During combat, additional signals help you click your way through fluid attack sequences.

Medium – recommended for experienced gamers who are new to The Witcher. Attack sequences are not assisted and click intervals are shorter. Opponents have standard attributes and Geralt gains experience at a standard rate.

Hard – for highly experienced players. Monsters and other opponents are significantly more powerful, click intervals are brief, and Geralt gains experience more slowly. At this level, selected opponents cannot be defeated without resorting to alchemy.

But I still get those red sword icons on my cursor to show me when to attack. How do I turn that off? :/

Answer 1

The flaming sword icon indicates the end of an attack, so you can chain the next one.

It appears only on easy and medium settings.

From the Wikia:

On hard, you only see a blue streak where your sword has just travelled and hear a faint "whooshing" sound to alert you to the timing of your attacks.
