neovide: doesn't start on Win10 with nvim-nightly

Hi, I wanted to check neovide but it doesn’t start for me.

I use neovim-nightly, installed via scoop (it works ok as a standalone and embedded as a firenvim in firefox)

I will definitely do this, but I also think its important the init script errors don’t freeze things. I will look into it. Probably won’t get to it tonight though (its late here)

Closing as stale. If you get back to this, please upload the file created when you run neovide with --log and reopen.

I had the same problem with pre-built binary on Windows 10 with scoop neovim. I worked around by building from source.
