Game config location - One Drive problem using different computers

GGG:

Can you please give us a way to set an alternate location to use for the configuration locally? Many of use one drive to sync our Documents folder and this causes a major issue if you want to play on two different computers.

My main PC is much beefier than my laptop so the graphics (and possibly key bind) settings need to be different on the two devices.

Since I cannot change the config location to be outside of my Documents folder on the two computers then I am forced to reset the graphics settings every time I play on the "other" device.

It's either that; or I have to completely remove the documents folder from my one-drive sync on both systems which I don't want to do.

Yes it's stupid that One-Drive cannot "exclude" folders inside a synced folder, but I have zero faith Microsoft is going add that feature.

Please give us some control over this!

One option - if you feel comfortable with it - would be creating a symlink.

The symlink will be synced by OneDrive, but OneDrive won't pull the target of it (e.g. your config file).
Having spent thousands of euros on Path of Exile over the years, I will not be further supporting it financially until and unless GGG resumes offering Technical Support.
