3.8.14 fails as well.

I know. I've already tried a few things, but without success. Does anybody have an idea? Or maybe this just needs to be fixed upstream.

In the meantime, if you really need the new version, the AUR package rocketchat-client-bin should work.

Rocket.Chat 3.8.13 fails to build:

Update (4/20/2023): The errors inexplicably stopped afterwards about 1 month later.

I keep getting connection errors with Yarn tries to upgrade. What can I do?

This is what I get with Mullvad:

==> Starting prepare()...

Good news, my patches are not required with 3.8.6 (any more) :)

Still no luck without modifications:

Building and installing the package resolves the issue for me.

Hello, i have updated to last electron and rocketchat-desktop. But unfortunately i am still getting the exact same error: blank gray screen after conntecing to my server

Rocketchat-desktop version: 3.8.3 electron version: 18.0.3

Error Message on Console

/usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/11.2.0/../../../../include/c++/11.2.0/bits/unique_ptr.h:659: typename std::add_lvalue_reference<element_type>::type std::unique_ptr<blink::CSSSelector []>::operator[](std::size_t) const [_Tp = blink::CSSSelector [], _Dp = std::default_delete<blink::CSSSelector []>]: Assertion 'get() != pointer()' failed.

3.8.2 was not compatible with electron18. 3.8.3 now is according to the changelog: https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat.Electron/releases/tag/3.8.3

so all good now
