I think I've finished the setting as a limited user (username: BOT). Thanks.

Now I can load poehud without any problem.

However I can't load my original poe setting (sounds, resolutions, etc.) and item filters.

According to the guideline, I understood that new path for the limited user should be in "C:/BOT/Documents/My Games/"

And I copied and pasted every filter as well as production_Config.ini into this folder. But it doesn't work.

Is there anyone who had a same trouble and fix it? Or am I mssing something?

How to make Awakened PoE Trade work when poe is launched from a limited user?

Its supposed to be "C:\Users\BOT\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile"

Also having this issue.

The shortcut command I'm using is

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:MyUser /savecred "cmd /C cd /d \"C:/Program Files (x86)/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile/\" && start /high PathOfExile_x64.exe"

One potential solution I read said I may need to have poe installed on both users? Is that true? If anyone knows why this is happening It'd be greatly appreciated.

You cannot run from Program Files from another user.

In my batch script, I have updated a few things so I guess maybe it might help some of you struggling to get this working.

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=limited

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:/Program Files (x86)/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile

REM Make sure to change this drive letter if not on C: drive
CD 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" START %run_as% /user:%local_user% /savecred "cmd /C cd /D \"%exe_path%\" && Start /high %exe_name% %exe_params%"

So lets break down some parts of what its doing:

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

This section sets a variable which will contain the path to your runas exe

SET local_user=limited

Here we set a variable with the name of the local user which we are going to use to run the game as

SET exe_name=PathOfExile_x64.exe

Here we set a variable with the EXE we will run for the game

SET exe_params=--nologo

Here we set a variable with any additional runtime commands you want passed to the game (optional)

SET exe_path=D:/Program Files (x86)/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile

Here we set a variable with the path to the game, being mindful that you need to reverse the slashes! So if you copy it from windows explorer, just replace all the \ with /

CD D:

We enter the directory tree at the root of the drive which path of exile is installed, in my case it is the D drive.

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 /D \"%exe_path%\" && Start /high %exe_name% %exe_params%"

First it gathers the processes list from windows, which will contain that exe.
It passes that through a pipe to FIND, which will search for the specified name.
If the search comes up with an errorlevel, then it means the exe was not found
Then it runs the last crucial portion, which launches the exe as another user.

START %run_as% /user:%local_user% /savecred "cmd /C cd /D \"%exe_path%\" && Start /high %exe_name% %exe_params%"

You can further break down the runas command into a more generic form:

START %run_as% /user:%local_user% /savecred "<Your command here>"

The key here to notice, is that anything within the quoted section of the runas command must have reversed slashes in the path.

shift click + right click on the shortcut -> run as different user

nothing else to do and it works flawless

I could also shit on a paper and call it art, to each their own.

pls help me game is installed in C parttion

Haved same issue. Right click on PoE folder => Security => and add access to your user

[CausalityMerchant]

if your shortcut was working and stopped, it could be bcoz the 2nd account password expired, that just happened to me, changing the password of the 2nd account fixes it, you can use same password

(4) Choose your newly added username and deny all access to this folder.

If i do it like this
Attachment 79152
It's block sub user to access this folder and i can't run poe just because this user even can't find poe file.
Where i'm wrong?

you need two users, one as your main user that has access to everything, and a second that doesn't have access to cheat folder. poe runs with second user that can't access cheat folder. cheats run as main user. then poe doesn't have access to the cheat folder.

If sasha is your main user, you need to give access back and create a second user. If sasha is second user, then deny cheat folder and allow poe folder.

if i start the game as main user i can log in, but starting it as limited user, when i try to log in it say there is new patch and to update the game, but its up to date, any ideas?
