I'm encountering the same error I was a while ago.

Your profile can not be used because it is from a newer version of NW.js.

Some features may be unavailable. Please specify a different profile directory or use a newer version of NW.js.

I found the old comment, followed the steps, removed the nwjs folder, and web-journal and other, and I still get a black screen when trying to enter. What am I doing wrong?

Like is there a way to update it?


Edit: I have other indie games that also use NW.js, and give the same error, but still work no issues.

Just being real with you - it should be a total non-issue. I get the error all the time and it's never affected gameplay for me. I just close the box and ignore it. 

I get stuck on a black screen.

It might be for a different reason. IDK. I'm just saying that such an error doesn't affect my own gameplay.

I'm afraid I don't know. Maybe try re-downloading?

One thing I've noticed, and I'm not sure if this is related, but whenever I play LD+, the icon it shows is from whatever the last game that used the NW software is. I'm not sure if it thinks it's opening up that game, and doesn't know LD+ exists, or if you haven't developed an icon to overwrite it or not.


Edit: Re-downloading it worked, I think?

Only the mobile version has a unique icon at the moment. I probably won't do one for other platforms until a 'full version' release.

And glad to hear!
