I'm attempting my first electron App. Does anyone know why i get this error AVDCreateGPUAccelerator: Error loading GPU renderer in the terminal when i do npm start? It doesn't seem to effect anything yet. I've gotten it right from the beginning of my install using the quick start guide. Will it effect me down the road?

mac pro late 2013 2.7 GHz 12-Core Intel Xeon E5 128 GB 800 MHz DDR3 ECC AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB

Also seeing this. Same MacPro, same error.fusepilot
Same error here. Just a speculation, maybe the FirePro don't support the GPU acceleration from Electron?VVZen

Most likely the AVDCreateGPUAccelerator error is because the Xeon CPUs used in the Mac Pros do not have a hardware decoder. Core i3/5/7 CPUs in Mac mini/iMac/Mac Book Pro) should work fine.

For a solution to this, please refer to the following answer;
