Hey,
I've included the preload wrapper hack by @Vendicated in my update to the package here: https://gitlab.com/Thaodans-ArchLinux-Packages/discord_arch_electron https://gitlab.com/Thaodans-ArchLinux-Packages/discord_arch_electron/-/commit/42271d9739a4f4aeb46d463f88b01f1ab7f536bd

@kronikpillow commented on 2022-10-25 11:46 (EEST) the comment by @Vendicated solves the issue ... maybe incoroporate it in the pgkbuild itself so that it would work by default till Discord does bump their Eletron to the latest version
Did the update work for you with the changes applied?

To work Discord with Wayland, I simply used the flag like this:
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform
--ozone-platform=wayland
--ignore-gpu-blocklist
@Vendicated: The wrapper script only works when your discord was already updated. If it wasn't updated it tries to load discord_desktop_core and fails.

when trying to stream on a voice channel, it says Select something to stream and ahve your friends grag a seat! and the loading icon, is loading forever, but never gives me the option to pick my source of the stream
Can we please get libxss added as a dependency for this package? Did a clean install and this didn't get installed so discord complains about the install being corrupt until it's been added. The one I installed is libxss-1.2.3.4 identical to the version of discord on the arch package repository.
on the latest version it crashes whenever a videocall is started.
Workaround for the streaming issue:
inside /usr/lib/discord
sudo mv app.asar _app.asar
sudo mv app.asar.unpacked _app.asar.unpacked
sudo mkdir app.asar
Now create the following three files in the app.asar folder: https://gist.github.com/Vendicated/5e5eee64348ee936349367fe7cedd8c3
This patch also sets sandbox to false, meaning it should work on Electron 20-22

$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

$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.
