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 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.

To save everyone some pain, add

"SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true

to ~/.config/discord/settings.json

in order to disable Discord updating itself.

This gives the maintainer time to update the package without everyone's client breaking when updates happen.

jcrowell commented on 2025-04-15 03:19 (UTC)

Package is currently broken because Discord downgraded to 0.89 and 0.90 refuses to load asking to "upgrade" to 0.89. Editing the package build version to manually downgrade works.

@fouilliez @jay-sh did you find any solution for the crash with video/screenshare?

@LarryDave Yes, I have the same window glitches with the latest update. I am using Gnome Wayland, too.

I'm getting trailing window glitches like Windows XP style when I'm running it natively on Wayland on GNOME 48.1? Anyone else experiencing this issue?

And unlike Vesktop, this still triggers xwayland and mutter-x11-frames, and doesn't work without those processes running. If I end them, Discord crashes.

Like others mentioned, it also crashes when viewing or starting a stream.

Been a week now since this update, and it keeps crashing on viewing or starting a screenshare as the previous comment by fouilliez mentioned. GNOME Wayland on Arch.

Not a portals issue as it occurs when viewing a stream as well. Error:

With today's update Discord is crashing when I watch a stream or start a stream.

The main window says:

Looks like Discord crashed unexpectedly.

The console says:

TypeError: window.createDiscordStream is not a function

I'm on Wayland / Sway. Still happens with empty configuration files.

You can temporarily load discord without updating by adding this line to your ~/.config/discord/settings.json

"SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true,
