Only white screen for me on Windows 10 and on the latest release

For people using snap on linux: try this command and see if it lets Caprine run on your system.
sudo snap revert caprine
It worked on my solus but as windows and mac don't use snap I haven't found anything that works yet. Also this is not ideal as it moves you back one version of the app.

I have the same bug on macOS

Unfortunately before looking for issues I did some troubleshooting, including uninstalling, so I have no versions to revert too.

Clean install on a Windows 10 Family Edition 1903 (18362.267). Nothing comes up and the console says:

on a clean install on MacOS Mojave, caprine is running according to activity monitor but no window comes up. Temporarily reverting to 2.34

@whitecrownclown Looks related to your electron-store PR.

I'll have a look asap.

@whitecrownclown This is not solved.

Installed as Snap. Tried reinstalling without success.
