neovide: Neovide fails to start

I cannot get neovide to run on my arch linux machine without aborting. I followed the instructions for compiling neovide (“opengl” branch) and had no issues compiling. I have already tried the “main” vulkan branch, but my hardware isn’t supported by the vulkan drivers for Intel. Starting neovide produces the following error message:

Ignored client type property: “methods” Ignored client type property: “attributes” WARN [neovide::editor] editor resize 1 WARN [neovide::editor] viewport event received before window initialized [xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue [xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called [xcb] Aborting, sorry about that. neovide: xcb_io.c:269: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost’ failed. Aborted (core dumped)

I too have the same problem, im on arch if I run neovide on i3 I get the error, but if I run it on gnome then no problem occurs

It works for me every time I install it (from AUR), but after reboot my PC it suddenly starts to fail.
