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.

Well, was having some success with electron16, but I've just updated this package and now none of them work. electron(18) and electron17 give the core not found error, while 16 and 15 are now just segfaulting.

@Devorlon I didn't disable Hardware Acceleration though (although I am using electron 16 with Discord Canary under Wayland), just the OpenH264 codec, and I can still watch streams. Disabling Hardware Acceleration makes the animation quite laggy so I tried it with that still on, and well it works.

@snvmk The problem with electron 17 seems to be an upstream problem though. I got the same problem with electron 17 or newer. I wonder how some people claimed they can make it work with electron 17?

Running with Electron 16 only shows gray splash screen, crashes, and repeatedly says:

[WebContents] crashed (reason: crashed, exitCode: 139)... reloading
Module ./ElectronTestRpc was not included.

Also was trying with electron17 and 18, but they didnt even come to this - they say (in GTK-like pop-up):

Error: Cannot find module 'discord_desktop_core'

Any ideas?

Thanks @Devorlon, this worked for me.

@HunabKu, @LevitatingRein, @gshinguji, @dylif

Disabling 'Hardware Acceleration' under advanced, 'OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.' and 'H.264 Hardware Acceleration' under Voice & Video > Advanced. Allows me to watch streams.

@AkechiShiro I am having the same issue here on X11 using the amdgpu driver as well
