More explanations/tweaks for the shortcut (Point 5 for an example):
1) Error: "File not found" or "Unable to open content.ggpk":
==> you need to change the directory (cd) of your cmdline to the installation directory of PoE and/or add the parameter "/d" to our cd-command (tks to Seminko):
change it to your installation directory and pathCode:cd /d \"C:/Program Files (x86)/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile/\"
2) cmd-Window stays open after launching the game (till you close the client)
==> replace the postfix " && PathOfExile_x64.exe"
==> with " && start PathOfExile_x64.exe"
3) the use of the start-command allows us to start the game with high CPU-priority:
==> replace postfix " && start PathOfExile_x64.exe"
==> with " && start /high PathOfExile_x64.exe"
4) you can add various parameter to start PoE too
Launch options - Official Path of Exile Wiki
==> replace postfix " && start PathOfExile_x64.exe"
==> with " && start PathOfExile_x64.exe --noasync --nosound"
==> or " && start /high PathOfExile_x64.exe --noasync --nosound"
5) This is what i'm currently using:
Code:C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:MyPoEUser /savecred "cmd /C cd /d \"C:/Program Files (x86)/Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile/\" && start /high PathOfExile_x64.exe --noasync"
