Description

I get the following when I launch Felony-0.10.2-win.exe on my Windows 10 machine.

Notes:

  • Initially, the splash graphic/animation comes on and a small Electron window right behind it.
  • After a few seconds, the dialog shown in the screenshot appears.
  • The dialog closes by itself after a few seconds and is repeated a second time (the second time it stays until I press Ok).
  • The Electron window (I assume it is the basic Electron UI before the app loads) stays on screen, but I can't do much with the menus.
  • After a while, I see the same error dialog again (several minutes must pass).
