Fails with electron12-bin v12.0.1-1 with the following error: libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null). I have the libva libva-mesa-driver and 32 bit variants installed.
UPDATE
Confirmed working with electron12-bin v12.0.1-1 with version 0.0.14-1.
electron-beta-bin switched to version 13. Discord should still work well with version 12, e.g., electron12-bin
it seems this no longer works on latest release of electron-beta-bin (13.0.0.beta.3-1)
This installs fine on aarch4, no reason to force x86_64 architecture
i have the same problem as @ibrokemypie. with betterdiscord this discord offers to download update from the website and don't start as well.
betterdiscord seems to break discord since the electron10 to electron change for me
Thank you for the package!
BTW, with electron-beta-bin (electron 12) instead of electron10, Discord finally runs natively on Wayland!
In /usr/bin/discord, I just replaced electron10 with electron-beta and added these arguments: --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform,WebRTCPipeWireCapturer --ozone-platform=wayland --enable-gpu. IDK whether screen sharing/calls actually work, but other than that it works great.
There is a bug that autostart script path is electron, not the discord.
The Electron 11 crash was fixed in Electron 11.2.2
I am getting a segfault every time I try to screenshare in voicechats ( https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263181 ). Is anyone else experiencing that issue and/or has a solution/ideas?

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf: this works likeelectron-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

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf.Krisp not working
This is an issue that will likely never be fixed for this package. The Krisp module checks if Discord binaries are signed by Discord, which is not the case with this package.
See this comment and this GitHub issue for more details and possibles workarounds.
