Nw.js: NWjs stopped working on my system, regardless of version or reboots

[koobazaur]

I got the latest build and copied my HTML files over and accidentally the (renamed) nw.exe as well. I ran the outdated .exe with all the new version files/dlls, and now, for some reason, that version of NWjs will not run at all on my computer. I tried a backup, a previous stable release deployed and tested in a whole different folder I didn't even touch. I tried rebooting and nothing. What the heck happened? Is there any file cache somewhere that got corrupted?

When I launch, I get debug.log saying:

[0917/130647.111:ERROR:process_info.cc(631)] range at 0x987832fe00000000, size 0x26e fully unreadable

Please help!

Update - so the latest build (0.25.1) does work now when I re-copied the HTML files and package.json. But my old (stable and separate) build on the older version of nw.js still crashes. I can't run the version that has been deployed to other computers and works perfectly well.

What the heck is going on?

Which version did you use and find this issue ? And could you please upload your tests for me to reproduce it?

I've same problem : https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/issues/6164

Not sure what the previous was, one of the 0.24.x versions. Is there a way I can find out? I can't log it in-code as it crashes on start. And no need for test, even an empty html file crashes.

UPDATE: Whoa, if I change the "name" in package.json it works again. What the heck?

My guess, somewhere NWjs stores some temp/cache files indexed by package name and those got corrupted, now it keeps reloading the corrupted files. Maybe??

You could try to delete the app folder in the path C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local. And If there are crash dump files in C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\<app name>\User Data\Crashpad\reports, please upload here.

Awesome, deleting the appdata local folder for the game solved it. I didn't realize it was creating a folder based on the title in package.json, so I was looking at nwjs folder only
