Why is it trying to connect to the internet?

When you run Universe Sandbox it connects to update.universesandbox.com to check for updates (which forwards to s3.amazonaws.com where the installation files are hosted). I give you my word it\'s not collecting information or doing anything malicious.

I\'m using the standard installer and Universe Sandbox crashes when I try to run it. How do I fix this?

The standard installer does not verify that you have .NET 2.0 or Direct X installed and both are prerequisites.

Try running setup.exe which will verify they are installed or download and install them manually:

Download .NET 2.0

Download DirectX
