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).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash with developer tools open to capture the error stack trace. Check the app's main process entry point (likely src/main/index.js) for any synchronous operations that might fail on Windows. Review existing comments on the issue for troubleshooting attempts and potential solutions.
