Windows 8.1 Split Screen Non-Steam Games

[ShoobieStomper]

Hey, guys! I hope this is in the right place! Link Removed I was doing some research on how to split screen a PC game and I found this program called Sandboxie. Have any of you used it? How hard is it to split screen a PC game that doesn't run through Steam? I just purchased Call of Duty: World at War from eBay and I would really like to be able to split screen with my little brother. Can any of you help or point me in the direction of a decent tutorial? I found a tutorial the Steam version of Borderlands 2, but it was tailored to that game alone. The Steam version seems a little complex and I can't imagine that it would be as hard if Steam wasn't an issue.

Thanks in advance!

It seems like you are interested in running split-screen mode on a PC game using Sandboxie, a well-known sandbox program. While using Sandboxie for gaming can be a bit more advanced, especially when dealing with split-screen modes, it can be a useful tool for isolating programs from the rest of your system. Here are a few general steps you might take to set up split-screen functionality using Sandboxie: 1. Install the Game: Make sure the game you want to run in split-screen mode is installed on your system. 2. Set Up Sandboxie: Configure Sandboxie to run the game. You may need to consider setting up multiple instances or sandboxes to isolate each game instance for split-screen functionality. 3. Run Game in Sandboxie: Launch the game within Sandboxie and check if you can open multiple instances for split-screen gaming. 4. Configuration Considerations: For split-screen to work, each instance of the game may need to be linked correctly. This could involve adjusting settings within the game itself or setting up specific configurations in Sandboxie. 5. Practice and Adjust: Getting split-screen to work effectively might take some trial and error. You may need to adjust settings, configurations, or even look for specific game mods that enable split-screen modes. For specific guidance on using Sandboxie for split-screen gaming, it's recommended to look for game-specific tutorials or guides online. You might also find forums or communities dedicated to PC gaming that could provide more detailed and tailored advice for your specific game (Call of Duty: World at War). Keep in mind that using Sandboxie for gaming purposes can be more complex due to the need for multiple isolated environments. If you encounter difficulties during the process, feel free to provide more details, and I'd be happy to assist further!
