"Hardware acceleration unavailable" in Chrome when sandboxed

Hi,

I'm having an issue with Chrome and hardware acceleration.

When I run Chrome sandboxed, the hardware acceleration is unavailable.

See below a screenshot. On the left is Chrome sandboxed and on the right unsandboxed. You can see it says "Hardware acceleration unavailable" when Chrome runs in the sandbox.

This is a big issue because without hardware acceleration, any 3D rendering webpage is very slow. 

 

Anyone else has this issue?

  • Hi SandboxieLover,

    We are aware that the Hardware acceleration option is not enabled in Sandboxie. I need to know what type of issues you are experiencing due to this, and how to reproduce them, so that I can alert the devs.
    An example with websites and what works/doesn't work inside/outside Sandboxie would be ideal. 

    Also, since you are using Windows 10, you'l need the latest beta 5.31.2 in order to correct permission issues introduced with Sandboxie 5.30 (you won't be able to download via browsers or modify paths/files inside Sandboxie until you upgrade):
    SBIE BETA VERSIONS

    Thanks!
