Launch timeout warning

If you often get a warning when starting virtual machines that says "the 86Box.exe process failed to initialize in time", but the virtual machine still appears to work normally (it doesn't hang on startup), increase the launch timeout value in Manager settings.

The value that will work best for you depends on your host computer, in my experience it's around two seconds or so on relatively modern computers. Note that the very first launch of any VM in the current Windows session will take slightly longer than subsequent launches, so you should account for that when determining the best timeout value.

However, if the warning is triggered because the virtual machine actually hanged on startup, then please report the issue to the 86Box team, as it's likely a problem on that end.
