Tutorial Sandboxie Plus Quick Start.

[trumpthatbitch]

should even be possible to install the VC runtimes into the sandbox.

Possibly, but you are likely going to get further future crashes for games and applications without them. So I would recommend installing them outside of the sandbox unless you run literally every Windows application inside the sandbox.

Hello, I was just wondering whether you know if the Windows security Control
flow guard exploit protection can prevent Sandboxie Plus from functioning?

The reason I’m asking is that after rebooting my PC to install Windows updates, something broke Sandboxie Plus and I was trying to work out what it was.

I would try to start any program sandboxed and it would immediately terminate. After setting Control flow guard to ‘off by default’ and rebooting again, the problem was resolved. I have never had to do this before, so
I’m wondering if that really was the root of the problem or if it was a coincidence.

I will turn CFG back on and reboot once again to test it, but I’m just glad it’s working again.

I would recommend going to Windows Event Viewer and looking through the logs. Much earlier in the thread I came across an issue with tokens that indicated to me there was a potential security vulnerability there, leaving the settings as is. Don't believe that is the issue for you though.

The other thing you can do is run SFC and DISM to confirm Windows is working properly and its system files are intact. Many times intermittent crashes are caused by faulty system files or hardware (memory corruption etc) not misconfigurations. Don't really assume anything; go to even viewer-run SFC-run DISM then run a chkdsk and memory diagnostic. Open CBS.log see if windows is replacing system files

colobancuz If I can reproduce the problem, I'll definitely create a thread on the forum or GitHub.

trumpthatbitch I'll go through the steps you suggested now.

Thank you both for taking the time to reply and for your help.

No worries, good luck

Some reason https://f95zone.to/threads/far-star-v1-01-gpoint-game.279654/ this game wont launch with sandboxie, when i run exe file it doesn't do anything or give any errors.

Edit: Also there was some virus complaints in the game thread but according to some people looks like its caused by drm and crack interaction.

Trying to launch Lust Epidemic within Sandboxie, launches with a black screen with just the BGM playing, any ideas why from anyone before I dive into the logs?

I couldn't get it to run in the sandbox either. I tried different settings and running it from different exe files, but nothing helped. And considering the results from virustotal, I didn't want to bother figuring it out any further, so I deleted the game.

There is a (unconfirmed) assumption that it needs to check something on the internet to run, and without that, it won't work. At least, the Sandboxie log recorded attempts to connect somewhere. Naturally, I didn't allow anything and didn't check with the internet turned on.

It worked for me, but I was running a version that had been sitting on my NAS since 19-20. I don't remember where I downloaded it from.

that's my basic strategy, too; if a game doesn't run boxed, and the only 'fix' would be allowing it to do something i don't want it to, like connections, or (some suggest that here and there) disabling security functions, well, not a game for me then.
there's plenty games that do just fine boxed, on the very same game platforms (like Unity or Ren'Py or any RPGM) with the slight heavier system load the only notable thing. i personally don't see the need of some games to connect somewhere or to directly access this or that system part just because.
never had such dire need to play this or that one game at all costs.

Interesting, could we do a something like a simple MD5 check between the zip files we have to see if it is indeed the same? If it is too much of an ask we could skip it

Here are the hashes. I downloaded the archive again today from gofile (Lust_Epidemic_v10.zip) and the hashes matched.
MD5 - cb86a3cb7ea824d595a1e86289949ab4
SHA1 - d833ff7a015536688f58ab52fc2b561a47ea96b9
SHA256 - 4d36089aa2cf2457d1afa72ef5180a7cda89494688fe98f43cb3145f17a1a7d9

Here is a screenshot of it running in the sandbox. I tried running it on a PC and a laptop.

I don't know how I can help you, maybe it's some kind of hardware incompatibility.

Suss-age, I got a different hash, with what I had, it was from wdho, I may have to chalk it up to incomplete download for now to give the benefit of the doubt (but it ran outside the sandboxie, with internet disconnected, I will reset on this system for now, for my sanity sake). gofiles one match as expected, thanks for the assist.

The solution has been found, Bob69 has already re-uploaded a properly cracked version. I ran it in Sandboxie - everything works perfectly!

Unfortunately, it appears that the CommonEvents.json file from the demo is incomplete. I will create a mod to work around this as best as possible.
