Description
I'm seeing a continual issue with nw.js version 0.42.3, like `GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1561 times`. This seems to be https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=879929.
When updating to nw.js version 0.42.6 things are even more broken: https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data/issues/572
Purr Data's Makefile still uses nw.js v0.24.4 (last minor release of the 0.24 series, from 25 Aug 2017). If the GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() issue proves to be a problem then we might need to downgrade for now.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the Purr Data Makefile entry that pins nw.js v0.24.4, then compare the reported behavior with nw.js 0.42.3 and 0.42.6. Review the linked Chromium report and Purr Data issue #572 before determining whether a compatible newer version exists; done means the chosen version works without the reported regressions.
