you need to set a password for the new user, and type it the first time you start it. (if you use /savecred in the runas.exe)

I struggled to get this to work for me before but I figured out a path that worked for me. My path of exile 2 folder was on another drive.

• Added /d to cd to handle switching drives properly.
• Kept everything inside a single set of quotes for the cmd part.

runas /user:MY_USERNAME /savecred "cmd /C \"cd /d X:\ggg && PathOfExile_x64.exe\""

Someone might find this helpful idk.

Yea worked for poe 1 but with poe 2 he didnt ask, its because its already saved i guess right ? just want to be sure i dont make mistake.
Anyway i think it working correctly cause i see my 2nd user playing poe 2 when i open task manager

Help. I don't understand. The new user should not have any rights? But through it does Steam and Poehud start?

win 10 and only this .bat script works.
kinda weird since i dunno why others not worked.

@echo off
setlocal

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:BOT /savecred "cmd /c cd /d \"E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Path of Exile 2/\" && start PathOfExile_x64Steam.exe"

Just change the user name and directory.

This worked for me, thank you. But how do I get loot filter in there? My default one doesnt show and when i click the folder icon, nothing happens.

Put your loot filter to:

C:\Users\***YOUR_LIMITED_USER_NAME***\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile 2

Sorry guy.
I got a problem with my new window 10. Im using overlay for price checking, it works well before but now it cant detect my poe client when i run my poe on limited user (Poe on limited user and overlay on admin user) .
Someone know how to fix ?

hey bro , I'm having the same issue，did you find a solution? Besides PoE Overlay II，my GameHelper even cannot work properly：the HealthBars do and the Radar cannot do

Gamehelper needs update,use exile core

Put your loot filter to:

C:\Users\***YOUR_LIMITED_USER_NAME***\Documents\My Games\Path of Exile 2

This worked for me, thanks bud!

Finding I cannot launch Poe2 as a limited user. Both cmdline with run as and "Run as different user" from the context menu are not working. Also tried logging in as the limited account directly and could not launch. All attempts give a black screen and the program becomes unresponsive.

Runs fine under standard account that is a local admin.

Poe1 launches fine under limited user.

Anyone else seeing this? Is GGG forcing us to run POE2 as an admin? Or could this be a consequence from the hacky video driver workaround they implemented?

[AdvocateOfDeath]

Solution. Delete poe2_production_Config.ini in the limited users directory.

Does anyone know how to solve the problem? I seem to have written the line correctly in the shortcut. But it gives an error when starting. Unable to open Content.ggpk. you might have another copy of the game already runinng. If you run it without bypassing, the game runs smoothly. Help


fixed it by rewriting the line

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:NAME /savecred "cmd /C cd /d "D:/POE2/" && start /high PathOfExile_x64.exe"

Having the same problem as well. Any solutions?

Can someone help please? What am I writing wrong here?

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:Exile /savecred "cmd /C cd /k "K:\Games\Pathofexile2" && start /high PathOfExile_x64.exe"

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /user:Exile /savecred "cmd /C cd "K:\Games\Pathofexile2/" && PathOfExile_x64.exe" does not work either
