Just tested it, looks like it fails to create the mutex. In order to run more than two copies at a time, you'd probably have to mess with the mutex creation logic.

Does this method give 100% ban protection when using PoeHud?

I can't get the loot filters working as a limited user. When I run the game normally the loot filters are there.

You need to put the loot filters in the limited user's folder.. c:\users\limiteduser\documents\ggg\...

If I run PoEHUD without limited user less than 10 sec, can I get banned?

poehud no longer exists ( for now ) so I don't know why you guys are so worried about limited user method. lol
HUD it's like cocaine, once you used, you can't forget.

I have the filters in my limited user's folder but I cannot access them when running poe as aa limited user. When on the limited users account I can access the filters under the UI section, but as soon as I swap back to my main account I can no longer see them under the UI section. Anyone know a fix for this?

Am i an idiot? Whenever i launch the runas shortcut with my details i get Poe Exception: "Unable to open Content.ggpk. You might have another copy of the game already running.". When i launch same shortcut but without "runas", game runs fine.

I was digging around and couldnt find the relevant information that I used to set up my Steam exe as a limited user. I wanted to share this so I can link back to this Information from my Release post.
Follow the instructions from the main post (Run PoE as a limited user), when It comes to making the shortcut for the game do this instead:
Create a new Shortcut
In the target field put:
Code:
C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:ReplaceWithLimitedUserName /savecred "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe"
In the Start in field put:
Code:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam"
Go into steam settings and turn off autostart on boot
Add the shortcut you created to your Startup folder (Open File Explorer and type shell:startup as the location and then press enter)
Steam will now launch under the user account you replaced the "ReplaceWithLimitedUserName" with
Update:
I am no longer using steam because of the rediculous patch times. It is highly recommended to use the stand alone client.
For information purposes I am updating this post with the new Batchfile I am using:
Code:
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=ReplaceWithUserName
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
SET exe_params=--nologo --waitforpreload
REM Keep in mind because of strange reasons this one must have / instead of \
SET exe_path=C:/Program Files (x86)/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile/
REM Make sure to change this drive letter if not on C: drive
CD C:
TASKLIST /fi "IMAGENAME eq %exe_name%" 2>NUL | FIND /I /N "%exe_name%">NUL
IF NOT "%ERRORLEVEL%"=="0" START %run_as% /user:%local_user% /savecred "cmd /C cd \"%exe_path%\" && Start /high %exe_name% %exe_params%"
REM ---------------

REM Place all scripts in subfolders one directory

SET script_1_subpath=WingmanReloaded
REM What to look for as an active process in AHK

For those who have PoE installed on another drive than C, add '/d' to the command like this:
Code:
C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:Exile /savecred "cmd /C cd /d \"A:\Path of Exile/\" && PathOfExile_x64.exe"
@boterang - might be worth updating the first post

It was pulled from Diablo 3's methods, so yeah. That said, there are still plenty of ways that whatever game you're thinking of using it on could detect your cheats. If their anti-cheat is doing something GGG's isn't, it may not provide enough protection.

If the anti-cheat on other games isn't kernel/driver level, then yes.
