COD:BO3 won't work sandboxed

[stmp]

Hi everyone,

I've seen more than a few mentions of Call Of Duty:Black Ops 3 in sandboxes. I thought I would try this too. It turns out that it will not run; just pop-up in Sandboxie Control with the following error:
---------------------------------------
BlackOps3.exe - Application error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142).
Click OK to close the application.
---------------------------------------
and then close. I was hoping someone could give me some suggestions on what the typical problems are and how to solve them. Please also note that CODBO3 is currently installed outside of the sandbox and works just fine with no special steps taken. My preference is to have the game entirely sandboxed. Thanks very much!

Hello stmp,

How are you launching the game? Have you tried launching it via its installation folder?
Try removing your antivirus software to see if that makes a difference.

Not all games will run inside a Sandbox, but provide the results or running Resource Access Monitor while reproducing the problem and we'll review the output to see if there's anything we can suggest.

Copy/paste the output.
Highlight it and click on the "</>" button to format it in the forums.

And, just to be sure, are you able to launch any other applications in the Sandbox?

Regards,
Barb.-

Hi Barb,

I usually launch the game thru a shortcut. I have just tried launching it again and now there is no error message at all, no matter how I launch. I know Comodo is a Known Conflict but I have SB exclusions added to Comodo and have never experienced any problems before this. I will try removing it completely to test. Other programs run within the sandbox with no issue.

Here are the results of Resource Access Monitor:

Hello stmp,

I am not really seeing much in that output. You can try opening the following path (if it doesn't make any difference, please revert the changes):
*\BaseNamedObjects*\Steam3Master*

To open that path go to Configure --> Edit Configuration
Copy paste the following under your desired Sandbox:
OpenIpcPath=*\BaseNamedObjects*\Steam3Master*
Save, close the file.
Configure --> Reload Configuration
Re-try launching the game.
More info here: https://www.sandboxie.com/OpenIpcPath

Did you try launching the game from the install location, as suggested?
Otherwise, the game may not work in a Sandbox. You can contact their tech support to find out if they are blocking these type of programs.

Regards,
Barb.-

Hi Barb,

I tried inserting *\BaseNamedObjects*\Steam3Master* and there was no change. Also, launching from the executable directly made no change either. Comodo AV was removed for testing and COD still failed to run. However, the error message of:
---------------------------------------
BlackOps3.exe - Application error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142).
Click OK to close the application.
---------------------------------------
came back after a reboot and removong Comodo. While I have seen a few attempts of COD-BO3 in sandboxes that doesn't mean success. Perhaps COD:BO3 just doesn't run sandboxed?

Software Specs:
Windows 10 Home (x64) Version 1709 (build 16299.192)
Sandboxie 5.22 (64bit)
Call of Duty Black Ops 3
Comodo AntiVirus 10.1.0.6476 (removed for testing)

Thanks for your help Barb,
