Sandboxie Steam Error

[Bruggerr]

System: Windows 7 64bit

With the new versions of Sandboxie, Steam no longer works. The last working version = 5.46.1

Hmm. I've just started my Steam Sandbox. I could download a game and even run it, all while in SB Classic 5.47.0+

Could you create a fresh new box (that isn't based on any existing boxes) and try again? If that doesn't help, could you post your Sandboxie.ini?

Did you test it on Windows 7 64bit too? It could represent a different game-changer.

Are the Provisional.Windows.7.Drivers.zip still a thing? My guess it's either the OS or some old template leftovers. Did you notice that there is a ConfigLevel=8 now? There are also a couple new templates I haven't seen before:

Template=SkipHook
Template=FileCppy
Template=qWave
Template=BlockPorts
Template=LingerPrograms
Template=Chrome_Phishing_DirectAccess
Template=Firefox_Phishing_DirectAccess
Template=AutoRecoverIgnore

Note how it spells "FileCppy" -> should't it be "FileCopy"? Edit: Nevermind. At least it's consistent:

I reinstalled the sandbox in the latest version and installed Steam in a new box. After the installation runs once, if you exit it and want to start it again later, the error message appears again and again. It only runs smoothly in version 5.46.1. My system = Windows 7 64bit The Provisional.Windows.7.Drivers.zip is still needed for the installation

I've spotted one that looks outdated in your Default and Steam box: Template=WindowsFontCache Make sure you got a backup and try removing that.

Then there is Template=FireFix_for_Win7 in Global Settings. Idk if that is truly needed for Win7, you might try removing it once.

If nothing works: I'd recommend trying 5.47.1 https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases/tag/0.6.7

v0.6.7 / 5.47.1 works

[Bruggerr]

I tested version 5.47.1, 1 day it worked. The next day the error was there again. I removed the line Template = WindowsFontCache

mmh... is this issue present only on windows 7? not on 10? that complicates things as my dev environment is 10, and remote debugging is a pain...
