You're loading a native module twice in the same process, this is why affinity is experimental and will be removed at some point in the future. You need to either stop using that native module or stop using affinity

GitHub issues are for feature requests and bug reports, questions about using Electron or code assistance requests should be directed to the community or to the Slack Channel.

Sorry, but I'm having difficulties to see the direct link between having an experimental feature and having to remove it in the future. I sincerely hope that affinity is not the new PDF, in terms of feature deprecation.

@ThomasMoutel Please see #18397. The intention is to remove Affiny

How about all the apps that depend on affinity (try opening 100 windows without affinity) - this is basically a game over for them.

Our application is opening 25~50 game windows.
This would not be possible without affinity.
Please consider keeping the affinity option with patching the bug.
Thx.
