Tutorial Sandboxie Plus Quick Start.

[BitesZaDusto]

Would anyone have insight on if there are any Sandboxie settings that may help with speeding up save creation when running Renpy games via Sandboxie? I've noticed for multiple games that when trying to create saves there's a decent lag to saving the game inside Sandboxie compared to when it's running outside the box.

To be honest, there are very few settings on the files and on a quick look through them I didn't find anything that could be responsible for performance. I didn't notice any performance degradation when saving, but maybe it's because I have a powerful processor.
By the way, where are the sandbox files stored? On SSD or maybe on USBDrive?

It all depends on how you set your Sandboxie Plus and where your files you are executing from. Which colobancuz ask you on previous message above.

Example 1:
- Sandboxie Plus installed on local system
- Sandboxie configured to save on local system
- Original AVNs and/or other applications on local system

The performance should be at it fastest rate.

Example 2:
- Sandboxie Plus installed on local system
- Sandboxie configured to save on SD card
- Original AVNs and/or other applications on external drive

This performance may not have the best performance. SD card (Read and write speed is very slow compare to local system. It also depend on what storage device you are using, such as NVMe drive, SSD, SATA, etc. The fastest storage device ATM would be NVMe drive.

Example 3:
- Sandboxie Plus installed on local system (NVMe storage)
- Sandboxie configured to save on local system (SATA storage)
- Original AVNs and/or other applications on network drive

This may be a little faster than "Example 2" it all depends on the network drive and the SATA storage read/write speed.

Again, without enough information about your system and how your Sandboxie setup. Again, we have to keep in mind that Sandboxie may degrade the performance a little bit, however it shouldn't effect that much what you have stated.

Have a great day and be safe...

I have Sandboxie installed on my local drive, which is an SSD. Before, I configured a folder within my Downloads folder to run all my Renpy games through Sandboxie. But then I moved future games directly into my Sandbox folder within the C:// drive since the methods of attack changed.

I believe my setup corresponds to your Example 1. Sandboxie is installed on my local drive, any saves I make are stored within the Sandbox Folders in my C:// drive and moved when needed to my local drive. And the games are not a external or network drive but within the local system.

Well... In this case based on your issue "first time" save for Ren'PY game in sanboxie plus takes a little longer than doing it on the host (not using the sandboxie Plus). Here are only few other possibility: (I do not need to know these answer of the following options)
1. Physical RAM - Depending on what Microsoft Windows version you are running may need more RAM than expected.
* Could open Task Manager to see Processor performance and RAM usage (Memory usage). If your system using more than 70% of the RAM, it may cause some lagging.
2. Number of resources running in background of Windows
3. Number of Application(s) running at the moment

Again, it might not be an issue on your system, it may be possible minor issue that Sandboxie (vendor/developer) may need to correct. I may have not have the latest version installed at this moment. (havent update it in few months)

For Sandboxie Plus,when i created the box for AVNs, I have it create a separate folder like C:\Sandboxie-AVNs as a default location for that box. I would download the AVNs in a different location or like most people may have it in "Download" folder. I extract the AVNs and then execute the game through Sandboxie's box.

Hopefully your issue get resolved.

Have a great day and be safe...
