Hi everyone.

I made a simple app which uses a few basic NW.js features and export it via NW.js export and it runs great once it starts up, BUT I always have to try starting it 2 or 3 times... the first 1 or 2 or 3 times it always crashes immediately upon opening.

Has anyone else ever run into this?

I found the cause and the work around.

I'm not sure which of these actions caused the crash, but this used to be an "On start of layout" event, and I switched it to wait until after 0.5 seconds have passed.

So apparently (my guess is) one of these events at start of layout tries to access or control something that might not exist at start of frame.
