Path of Exile and Path of Building running at same time
A few months ago, I could play Path of Exile while opening a utility to manage builds (Path of Building) from the Run Exe on Prefix button. However, now it doesn't work. When I launch PoB.exe, the game doesn't open, unless I close PoB from its menu, and then PoE opens automatically. In short, I can't have both open at the same time.
So, before uploading logs, I asked if there was any way to fix this and arieljuod clued me in to https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1174434385324417035/1174534498801700904 . As it seems a similar case to what I'm trying to do, I created the .bat file, but I think something is not working right, because it only starts the Path of Building but not the game, Path of Exile. Can anyone see where the failure is?
As a comment, I have passed the spaces to the folder containing the game by putting the name of the folder in quotes. Also, from Flatseal, I have given permissions to get to the directory containing the games.
I leave here the log generated by the game and the .bat file, in case there's something I'm missing.

The .bat file 👇🏻

spaces, even with quotes, didn't play nice when I was testing that .bat for that support request
if your file is already in that POE game folder, I don't think you need to specify the full path as that is the working directory
also, do mid-string quotes even work right like that in general?
I usually just use them around the entire string or use

Flawless. As you say, the .bat file is in the same folder as the
.exe of the game, so I deleted the path and voila. I guess the spaces is what was giving problems, even with the quotes.
