The display compositor is frequently crashing

[Richard Foss]

I have been using nw.js very successfully for some time, both on Windows and Mac. I recently added code to my Windows project, tested it, then pulled it for my Intel MacBook Pro, and got this message on running nw:

FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(919)] The display compositor is frequently crashing. Goodbye.

I had this same message when running the project on an M1 MacBook Pro.

I am using an old version of nw.js (0.41.3) and its corresponding node.js (12.13.0). Which leads me to a second question - the latest LTS version of node.js is 16.17.0 but when looking at the nw.js versions, there is no version that has that node version as a component. How do I choose the most appropriate version of nw.js for the latest node LTS?

Lastly, is the best way to install a specific version of nw.js via:

 npm install n...@0.xx.yy

Thanks!

I have resolved this - moved to node.js v18.10.0 and nw v0.69.1, then took out "product_string" from my package.json.

Now sitting with a problem in nan - no AccessorSignature in V8 namespace, because this has been removed from the latest V8. However, this is probably better targeted at nan issues.
