Hello, my name's Xyzrus and this is my first time posting here.
Just a heads up, I'm unfamiliar with Sandboxie and have only watched tutorials on YouTube to learn how to run multiple instances of a Steam application.
But I will try my absolute best to provide as much information/context as possible.
The issue I'm having is as the title implies.
Issue:
This particular game is called - Sky: Children of the Light
Update:
On the host Steam, it runs perfectly fine, and the title screen to log in looks like this:
However, when I try to run it in the Sandbox it will show this screen AND in literally 2 seconds it will SHUT OFF:
(Screenshotted it as fast as possible)
The Sandbox before the application shuts off:
The Sandbox after the application shuts off:
I'm not sure whether these screenshots will be meaningful or not, but as I mentioned I'll provide as much information as possible.
This was not the first time I've encountered this issue as well.
Context:
Things I've tried to try and solve it:
To anyone who is reading this, if you've got some idea on how to fix it, please I beg of you reach out to me ASAP. I would very much appreciate any sort of help at the moment because I am very lost on how to fix it.
You can reach me on Discord as well (preferred communication) if I don't reply ASAP on this post.

Also, if anyone knows any programs similar to Sandboxie that you can run multiple instances of an application (Steam) that would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

This was not the first time I've encountered this issue as well.
Context:
Around late September, after I was tinkering with the registry and services to try to potentially increase the performance of my PC, I stumbled upon the same issue.
However, I made a restore point before when I was messing around with the systems and when the issues first arrived, which I was able to solve the problem.
After that event, the only systems I altered to increase my overall PC's performance were the Windows settings and NVIDIA control settings
(I was very careful with these and only changed the ones that affected graphics and performance, things I could understand easily)
Things I've tried to try and solve it:
- Uninstall the game on Steam (host)
- Re-install Sandboxie-plus
- Delete the contents of a Sandbox
- Re-installed Steam
- Deleted my Sandbox and Re-installed Sandboxie-plus x64
- Updated my GPU driver
- To be able to run the game on a Sandbox
- To be able to run multiple instances of the game via Sandbox.
