Hello, I ran a game downloaded here into Sandboxie, but Sandboxie crashed and the game went free. What do you think I risk? I'm considering to format my PC. Everyone here uses Sandboxie to run games, I guess, but I had not its protection anymore. The game I downloaded is this one (https://f95zone.to/threads/the-weighting-game-v0-5-tiggertoo.72893/) (found out it was not exactly my thing too, sigh).
Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.
 

S.O.M.

I think this program is like an antivirus, it can "destroy" some files that are important to you (for example, games). To be honest, this is the first time I've heard of anyone using this program. Why, if it's not a secret?

Er... If sandboxie effectively crashed, then the game stopped, dot.
A sandbox is not just some kind of cage that would let what is inside goes on the wild if opened. If the game was still running, either Sandboxie didn't crashed, or the game wasn't on the sandbox from start.

I'm pretty sure that people mostly just use an antivirus.


So a Ren'py game, and you downloaded from here. I would say that you risk nothing.

All the Weighting Game files on my Patreon are virus checked before I upload them.

If you get them from anywhere else, caveat emptor.
