Starting with 0.0.55-2 (2024-06-09):
  • Added a patcher to make Krisp work with this package (kudos to @SunRed). You need to manually enable it (see the end of this message).
Starting with 0.0.26-1 (2023-03-31):
  • Switched back to the main electron package (electron22)
  • Watching cameras and streams is working again
Starting with 0.0.20-1 (2022-09-15):
  • Bumped electron16 to electron19 (I still have blocking issues with electron20)
  • Added support for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf: this works like electron-flags.conf, you can set in this file the command line flags you want to pass to electron when running Discord (there are some useful flags in the wiki, especially if you are experiencing lag in the Discord UI).
FAQ

Discord requires an update, but this package isn't yet updated
Check the wiki.

The Discord UI is lagging
Try to add the flags recommended in the wiki in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf.

Krisp is not available
An optional patcher is provided in the package to make Krisp work. To enable it, make sure python-capstone and python-pyelftools are installed, then set PATCH_KRISP=true in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord.conf.
After an update, you'll need to restart Discord once for the patch to apply (Discord downloads Krisp dynamically during startup, so it cannot be patched on the first start).

Please note that to know whether the Krisp binary was patched the script is run on every start of the client that results in slightly longer start times but has the advantage that the package does not have to be updated if Discord ever silently updates the binary between client updates over their modules api.

@andyl98 I'm having the same problem.

Streaming (viewing streams included) and anytime someone or myself turns on their webcam, discord crashes I do see that this issue has been prominent with this and the quickfix would be switching to the main package Just bumping it nevertheless since it's annoying and this version is much smoother than the other one..

@zerophase That's most likely the special Halloween message sound (unless you're referring to something else)

Anyone else having an issue with notifications sounding like they're in a tunnel, after the last update? Believe it impacts me when I speak as well. Doesn't impact sounds from other users, though.

@andyl98 I am also still having this issue

Looks like the tray icon missing on Electron38 is fixed now :D

andyl98 commented on 2025-09-21 07:33 (UTC)

I am still having the same error when trying to use my webcam that @fouilliez was having in April:

~/.config/discord/logs/renderer_js.log

[error] TypeError: window.createDiscordStream is not a function

Is there any solution besides using the regular Arch discord package?
