Game doesn't start out of Steam

Hi everyone,
I'm very sorry I'm pretty sure there was this question before but I tried to search for a solution and couldn't find one yet. I have managed to run my 2nd Steam Account in a Sandbox and came to the Steam Menu and tried to start the Game from there but it directly stopped working. I guess the Game doesn't like that it is running from the same folder twice? Is there anything I can still try to check or do I need to install Steam twice to run it safely twice? As far as I know, this game is not using VAC.

Goal: Run Steam Main Account normally in Windows, Run 2nd Steam Account in a Sandbox at the same time. Both Steam Account use the same installation.

Thanks in advance!
 
There have been questions about Steam and issues with it, and I am not sure if those attempts were successful.

Does the game start in a sandbox if it is the only instance? (Just to make sure, it is not detecting being run sandboxed and therefore 'decides' to close.)

If you don't need to launch the game via Steam, you can try to copy the files into another folder or even in the sandbox and start it from there.
 
Sadly the game starts from Steam, I have added the steam folder and all subfolder to the sandbox and steam was able to start so that was ok, but then in Steam I tried to start it and I see the process opening but then directly closing and I even don't see an error message.
 
That sounds like there being an incompatibility. There are some of those regarding Steam. It might get getter with future release, but so far that is just wishful thinking.

You could try with an app compartment type box, just to test if the game start at all, under Sandboxie's supervision.

Another attempt, that does not involve Sandboxie, is trying to set up a VM (virtual machine) with another steam client.
