Run PoE as a limited user

[kappuku]

i have followed the guide fully but game wont launch, i write the password into the cmd then it loads for a few seconds and closes no path of exile opens. any idea what i am doing wrong?

[kappuku]

*EDIT*

i think my path of exile requires me to run it as adminstrator and i do not know how to disable it wanting me to run it as adminstrator

Is it possible to edit Sound in production_confing in Documents to also work for limited user Poe.exe?

[wallyflopsowned]

Can anyone help me troubleshoot?

I have:
Target:

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:poe_user /savecred "cmd /C cd "D:/PoE/" && PathOfExile_x64.exe"

Start in:

D:\PoE\

and my PoE exe is located here:

 "D:\PoE\PathOfExile_x64.exe"

It boots up a CMD I enter my password then it just goes away and nothing happens.

Your problem is because your game is on a different drive..
in order to use CMD and change directory command you have to pass /d.. You can either take your shortcut text and put it into chat gpt and it will fix it for you, Or you can use mine below as a guide.

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:BOB /savecred "cmd /C "cd /d B:\Steam\Library\steamapps\common\Path of Exile && PathOfExile_x64Steam.exe""

Ok, I'm attempting to create 2 user profiles that can launch their own instances of limited user. The first shortcut works just fine, but the second one accepts the password but will not launch the game (even if the first one is closed). Do I have to use a different method in order to launch a second one?

Never mind, simple user error. Note: If any of you create a user through lusrmgr.msc (my preferred way), always double check that you have disabled "User must create new password on first login". I did that for the first one and forgot for the second one.

Why, Microsoft, why?! So I've finally found the issue: cmd console just won't accept command to change working directory and uses system32 by default. In this case our limited user has no administrator permissions so poe.exe can't start in that location. Burn in hell cmd - we will use powershell instead! Here is the new "Object" line for a shortcut:

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:temp /savecred "powershell -command cd E:/Games/PoE/;start Client.exe"

Don't forget to change your path and username

use "cd /d d:" instead if you want to swap to D: as an example for cmd

Anyone that have issues with the script not working and have poe on a separate disc , use cd /d d: instead.

example:

SETLOCAL
ECHO OFF
SET run_as=C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe


REM Name of the local user account you are having launch the EXE
SET local_user=YourUserAccount


REM Possible EXE names: PathOfExile.exe, PathOfExile_x64.exe, PathOfExileSteam.exe, PathOfExile_x64Steam.exe, PathOfExile_KG.exe, PathOfExile_x64_KG.exe
SET exe_name=PathOfExile_x64.exe


REM You can launch the game with additional Parameters --waitforpreload
SET exe_params=--nologo


REM Keep in mind because of strange reasons this one must have / instead of \
SET exe_path=D:/Games/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile/


REM Make sure to change this drive letter if not on C: drive
CD /d d:


REM Now we run the code you provided
TASKLIST /fi "IMAGENAME eq %exe_name%" 2>NUL | FIND /I /N "%exe_name%">NUL
IF NOT "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" SET run=1
IF "%run%"=="1" START %run_as% /user:%local_user% /savecred "cmd /C cd /D \"%exe_path%\" && Start /high %exe_name% %exe_params%"

in my case my poe path is D:\Games\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile so dont miss the /d at "CD /d d:" instead of "CD d:"

Yes. You can also Shift+Right Click the shortcut and "run as different user" and login to the other account.

Did you edit the user: with the one you created?
