@HunabKu, @LevitatingRein, @gshinguji, let me be clear, I have encountered the same crashing while joining a screenshare on Discord under X11 on the following discord packages :
discord_arch_electron from the AUR.discord-canary-electron-bin from the AUR.discord from [community]powercord-electron-git from the AUR.Laptop Ryzen 7 3700U with an AMD iGPU (RX Vega 10).
@HunabKu because i've only th bug in Wayland, but not in x11. It seems that something else comes into play.
@HunabKu I'm under X11 and encountering the same bug, so I don't know why you said it is a Wayland only issue for screen share crashing discord.
Discord crashes anytime a stream is opened and it refuses to load videos with audio while in call.
Second issue may be due to me using PipeWire, but the streams still remain an issue as I see many other users with this problem.
@LevitatingRein seems to be a Wayland issue.
@Neko-san me too, it's driving me insane... but the issue is for any notifications, not just Discord. I'm using mako notifications in sway, and even clicking a Signal notification crashes Signal.
Clicking on notifications has frequently been causing me crashes
Getting:
/usr/lib/electron/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.70: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
icu was recently updated.
I can't open any screenshares, Discord immediately crashes. That's the only issue I've been having.
I've done some testing with various electron versions and flags that I've seen mentioned.
I've gotten as far as starting it with electron 16, but I get no window decorations. There's apparently a fix for that, merged in January, and backported to electron 17. Discord doesn't seem to work on 17 though, some JS error which I assume is an upstream problem.

$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
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.
