Launching in windowed mode?

I have searched but can't seem to find any command line parameters to launch PoE in windowed mode. Is this possible?

In other words I know I can change to windowed mode when I launch but is there a parameter like -w to add to the command line to start it automatically?

In your My Documents/My Games/Path of Exile folder, there is a production_Config.ini file that has these settings.

These are the lines you will want to set to make it windowed mode:

borderless_windowed_fullscreen=false
fullscreen=false

I'm not aware of a command you can add to the shortcut if you want two different Path of Exile shortcuts for windowed and fullscreen. I can find out if you'd like!

Ty Sir!! Yes I was wanting 2 different shortcuts in fact. If there is a command line parameter that would be great!

I tried doing a quick and dirty replacement of the ini file loading so you could use 2 diff. shortcuts without an exe flag... but the loading of the config file doesn't appear in plain text :(

If there is no flag, then an alternative is using a batch file to change the values and then launch the game.

We're going to add this to the game later, as it'd also be useful for testing purposes!

We'll probably add a command you can add to the shortcut to use a specific config file.

This has been asked for in 2012... Why haven't they implemented that damn --windowed switch yet, despite the promise?

I would like to find a solution for it in 2024, is it possible achieve lauching from different config files or maybe make two different game clients load different configs?

I was looking for some strings to make it works with executable but I don't see any.
You can do it with virtual machines, running client by different users(best option), using sandbox-based isolation software.
I am not sure that every version on Windows system can do that, but running client by different user will make it work without duplicating game files. You just need to put config in the proper user account document directory.

This is an elegant solution, thank you very much.
