This is completely normal, and that's the whole idea.
Oh ok I see my problem, so I did what you said and did the force program and created a folder to run my games in, figured that was the only sandbox folder then noticed it used the c:\sandbox\defaultbox,
You seem to have misunderstood how the sandbox works and what a forced folder is, because they are different things.
In addition to Sandboxie Plus itself, you will need to delete the files stored in your sandbox, which is located by default at c:\sandbox. Keep in mind that all changes that programs attempt to make end up in this folder, including your saves. If you decide to uninstall Sandboxie Plus, you must first use Recovery to restore the files you need from the sandbox, and only then delete everything.
I personally don't notice any performance drops. That is to say my PC specs is fairly decent (i3 12100F, 16GB RAM, RX 6600, SSD)
depends somewhat on system specs (beefy computer or not?) and more or less on the version of RPGM engine. i have no drop at all with old RPGM games in a box. the 'modern' RPGM platform is different (it's a browser displaying your game, more or less), what i've seen is the game not using graphics hardware on it's own, not using the hardware cache etc. no matter which kind of virtual environmant in use; there comes the big drop. you may have to go deeper into Sandboxie settings and find a way to have the game in question use that. should be covered somewhere in the walkthrough..?
Thanks, so in the end running a games exe via right click and run in sandbox and putting a game in a forced folder will have the same amount of 'protection'?
Thank you very muchly, kind sir/madam. Especially the highlighting is much appreciated. I must have seen that screen several times without noticing the path.
I have a pretty beefy system but while I expect some performance drop, but not 90%+. And this is only with RPGM + MTool, nothing else has any noticeable performance drop
I followed the guide and enabled everything without understanding the importance of setting up a password can you please explain it to me as I don't even know where to start with all of that, thank you bro you have been a big help
No, almost all that I have played have given me a notification for internet access but non have needed it to function
You are asking about the password request for changing Sandboxie settings or about the password and restricted Windows user rights? Both are optional.
Almost all games based on the latest versions of the Renpy engine attempt to connect to the internet (I guess for Renpy Sync) immediately upon launch, and work perfectly without internet access. So, one attempt at launch is normal. You should pay attention to attempts to connect to the internet some time after launch or repeated attempts.
hmm there are some settings that make Sandboxie put through system calls for graphics, so a boxed game could access the graphics hardware.. also there are some arguments you could add into the package.json or index.html to enforce a few things for latest RPGM platformed games, here goes:
{
"name": "",
"main": "www/index.html",
"chromium-args": "--force-color-profile=srgb --ignore-gpu-blacklist --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-gpu-memory-buffer-video-frames --enable-native-gpu-memory-buffers --enable-zero-copy --enable-gpu-async-worker-context",
"js-flags": "--expose-gc",
"window": {
"title": "",
"toolbar": false,
"width": 816,
"height": 624,
"icon": "www/icon/icon.png"
}
} "main": "www/index.html", (change this into)
"main": "chrome://gpu",I mean on how do I set one, I was following the RPGM solution and when I was trying to make the changes it asked for the sandboxie password. I never set up a password and don't know how to go about it. I followed all of the instructions hopefully I didn't miss something and locked myself out somehow
