Please share your Vencord debug info by running the /vencord-debug slash command!
Vencord: v1.12.0 • b0b616d (Vesktop v1.5.6) - 4 May 2025
Client: ptb ~ Vesktop v1.5.6
Platform: Linux x86_64
Are you sharing a window or your entire screen?
For me on GNOME, when sharing entire screen, it prompts twice. When sharing a window, it prompts only once
its an xwayland issue
I run through Xwayland
launching in Wayland mode doesn't change anything for me :P
husk . ,,. does on plasma at least
prompts me 3 times regardless, first it does it once, then the quality/audio popup shows up, then prompts me two more times
ig xwayland is silly XD
likely Hyprland portal issue
yeeee, its not a bother
does chromium not send the restore token
restore token fixed it lmao, thanks alot
huh? is that a thing u can control
this is what my launcher looks like, its in bottom left
ohhh
why the hell does hypr let the user control that
gnome doesn't
anyway glad that fixes it :3
plasma does too
common gnome L
why would the user care
seems way better UX to always allow it
the user can see it's still watching ur screen based on the indicator, no need to re-approve 
vesktop is bugging out on hyprland for me, visuals are all messed but and rapidly flashing. running latest nvidia drivers, any ideas on where to start?
sounds like a gpu issue
disabling hardware acceleration will probably fix it
disabled hw accel in voice and video and it's still doing it
unless I'm missing something
nvm found the correct setting and that just made it worse
I think I'll have to go back to the vanilla client for now cause this is actually unusable
worse as in worse visuals?
make sure you fully restart the app
it flickers more
can u record a video
I'm curious
really does sound like something is up with your system though
gimmie like 5
or maybe it's your monitor lol cause usually disabling hardware accel should fix it and if it doesn't that's odd
Hi, I'm getting a weird bug where Vesktop will start flashing quite a lot on hyprland. I'm wondering if this is a problem with Vesktop or my hyprland instance?
@kindred fjord just seen above you guys are chatting about the same issue I'm having, have you had any luck or any thoughts on what's causing it?
lmfaoooo
are you also on hyprland roto
potentially hardware accel on nvidia but the bug is genuinely gashlighting me
yuh
literally same, when I try to show people it stops
could be a hyprland regression maybe, try downgrading?
I don't think hypr has updated since it started, it's been happening since an nvidia update about a week ago
yeah but if you run without hardware acceleration and it still happens it can't be gpu
actually just to make sure... launch vesktop via vesktop --disable-gpu
I've run this and so far I'm not getting any of those weird flashy glitches, but maybe this will jinx it 🤔
i had the same issue, try running vesktop with --enable-features=WaylandLinuxDrmSyncobj (im running the vesktop-electron aur package idk if it will work for you)
Hey so I'm using vesktop on Nobara 42, everything is updated and I have the game activity plugin installed as well, why does it still not show my activity?
are you using flatpak or native? if its native it can sometimes detect the game and do it but some games that run through proton dont show up by default and need the discord RPC dlls. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Enabling-Discord-Rich-Presence
I'm using the flatpak version as I don't really know where to get the native version
hmm, what distro are you using
Nobara 42
ah thats based on fedora so you can use the rpm im pretty sure
I had it showing the activity before but I don't remember howand I'll that then-
sorry sent the wrong link https://vencord.dev/download/vesktop/amd64/rpm
yeah its always been on and off sometimes. sometimes a game works with it and sometimes it doesnt. im not sure exactly how its done, i think some game have discord RPC built in and those should work with the proton work around i sent earlier. i think vesktop has a list of game processes to look for and sometimes that doesnt work
Well this is fun I can have both the flatpak and the rpm and it'll count as different installs and ohhh I see but also too I had sober being detected as well so idk
Oh cool so the rom one works
Thanks man.!
nw :)
This channel is only for Vesktop (our custom Discord app). For Vencord support, use #🏥-vencord-support-🏥
-# This is an automated sticky message.
does anyone know how I can self host the servers that vesktop uses? I was promoted in a discord server and they require everything self hosted so my account isn't backdoored and updates also off
(if any)
also, does vesktop use openasar? cause if so, how can I host the severs (if any) for that myself as well, or direct me in a place I can ask for openasar
Self hosting discord?
Its a modification, not a server
But also no it doesn’t have openasar
I know just like if I sent any info to a server
You are on discord
The servers that vesktop sends information to
If any
The only information sent is the cloud backup afaik
Which is optional
The updater goes go the github repo
And automatic updates can be disabled, correct?
I have to disable them for security reasons
My point still stands
The server does not allow client mods unless
When discord updates vencord wont and things will break
Ok can I stop discord updates as well then
No
Or no cause it's web basically
ok
is there any like token protector thing
dumb question i know
No
The only thing that can keep you safe more than anything is common sense
I think that would only work on mobile clients
Yes
I myself, am not worried because I don't think anything would really happen and i'm cautious. But at the end of the day it's the servers rules and I wanna follow them (especially since i'll be under the microscope as a higher ranked user)
Knowing myself I would end up sending a screenshot showing it and it would not be the first time I've made that mistake in the server (banned for 6 months, message logger. no clue how that didn't effect becoming a higher ranked user)
Imo doesnt sound worth it to be there then
But also there’s not much you can do
It's fine I can just use discord + vencord then disable updates for both with openasar and that should be fine right ?
like for vencord or discord
Both
Hi, any idea why Vesktop keeps using this command via cmd: "C:\Users\---\AppData\Local\vesktop\Vesktop.exe" --relaunch
App kept doing it very literally every minute even on idle (thus it kept tripping Aurora via sigma match)
????
That's what I'm wondering too
probably because its broken
but my friend was using it earlier
send the link to the theme
vf themes
open the dev tools with CTRL + Shift + i (Cmd + Option + i on MacOs) and click on the "console" tab at the top. Then paste and run (with enter) the following code.
It will
- disable custom css (you can turn it back on in Vencord Settings)
- copy your current theme links to your clipboard as a backup
- remove all themes
(() => {
Vencord.Settings.useQuickCss = false
try {
const copy = window.copy ?? Vencord.Webpack.Common.Clipboard.copy
copy(Vencord.Settings.themeLinks.join("\n"))
} catch { }
Vencord.Settings.themeLinks = []
Vencord.Settings.enabledThemes = []
})()
web browser works
uh
this is likely arrpc spawning wmic every 5 seconds
I have no idea what's happening here.. we dont handle relaunching n stuff. Electron bug maybe? maybe an issue with electron builder??
idk what relaunch you're talking about
you would notice if vesktop was relaunching
Ruled that out already after disabling arRPC
its every second for them
it's likely this is normal functionality
are you having any actual issues?
does it happen on the previous vesktop tag
like i said you would notice if the app was actually relaunching, I doubt that's what's actually happening
insane windows app dev if this is normal
this screenshot clearly shows cmd.exe
that's either arrpc or not vesktop
you need to fully relaunch the app after you disable rich presence
Weird that the separate notice for wmic stopped but not that
Gonna give ctrl+R a try
deprecated doesn't mean it won't work lol
it's broken
like 4 other people tonight reported the same issue with neutron
it was updated recently
that's just my guess, it's broken even in the BetterDiscord theme website and the BetterDiscord theme editor site someone made
oh it seems like it's putting insane width / margin on the wrong element?
that could explain why it's so fucked up
wait but how come my friend was able to use it perfectly fine
is he still able to now
when did you get the theme
a looong time ago
basicly the same time i got vencord
well, its not a vesktop issue regardless
well i was using vesktop at the time so thought it was
if you need further help with the theme go to their server
I think they'll probably fix it soon anyways
they have a server?
yes, check the betterdiscord themes page
Not sure if it's a vencord or vesktop issue but with betterfolders installed the icon for servers in folders are very low quality and blurry. Pic as example. When I open the folder the icons are normal quality.
There offline but have icon's showing their online and appear online in the top i think
Are they in a vc that you can see
Let me check
No
I checked 2 with not showing in a vc
Then I’m not sure
I just joined the server too so idk if it has to do with it
sorry if not right place to ask, but does this look normal usaage for vesktop ?
it's normal usage for discord
ok thanks
my screenshare is blue, im on linux mint 22.1 cinnamon and i don't get any other option other than full screen for screen share, Could anybody please help? the screenshare is seen normally by the other members of stream, pls help : )
When starting to screen share, Vesktop mutes my PC (not silences other things, it mutes the PC so the "Volume" symbol at the bottom right of Windows 10 shows "muted"). How do I fix this? Things I already tried:
- Ensured Vesktop/Discord and my PC have the same output device selected
- Disabled all other output devices
- Set the
Sound -> Communicationssetting to "Do nothing" when Windows detects communication activity - Restarted Vesktop
known, will be fixed in an update
Thank you 👍 Is there an ETA for this?
nope
So this is a Vesktop issue? I've experienced this for a while now already and found nothing to fix it or even find anything about it on the internet.
I actually just filed a bug report on discord support but thought before submitting it I should check here to ensure it's not a Vesktop issue and not discord's 😭
it is indeed vesktop
Well I'll be damned
I just tried what you did and just reenabled my PC volume when it automatically (whyever) mutes my device's audio and it worked.
I am using vesktop on windows 10 and last time when I mentioned that screen share causes my desktop's audio to get muted and I have to manually unmute the audio I was told that a fix was already made and was simply waiting for release. I was wondering if it was released because I got an update recently but the issue is still there.
So I was trying to figure out if it was a problem on my end only or not.
@grim lake sorry to ping you man but do you the soln to this?
oh okayy, thanks
Flatpak, .deb or AppImage installation? Hard for me to say what could be causing it, though. Have you tried switching between those versions? What GPU and driver (if ur on NVidia)?
im on intel pentium n5000 cpu + integrated graphics in the laptop, tried flatpak + deb, both have the issue
If you don’t need support don’t be in this channel
ok sorry sloime
and you can't fix it in the plugin? That when a vesktop is used it shows the desktop?
What?
The plugin is just using data from what discord provides, the plugin doesn’t determine what you use
Hmm... That very well could be the driver issue, but I find it surprising that you can't share a single window. X11 cinnamon or wayland? X11 shouldn't have such problems I think
i used chatgpt for the command to check
it says echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
i typed it and terminal said x11
im a linux noob sorry if im a bit slow in understanding what you're saying : (
Chill. I wouldn't consider myself proficient with Linux either. If it's not wayland's fault (as it is known to cause some problems with discord), then I don't know, to be honest.
The best you can do is probably to try and isolate the thing that causes it. I don't have any clue where to start looking, but I can suggest some (hopefully not useless) tips. That would be:
- Making sure vesktop is updated (it sometimes has trouble updating on my PC)
- Try enabling / disabling hardware acceleration (in vesktop settings)
- Disabling any themes and plugins (though I doubt it would change anything). QuickCSS could theoretically also be causing it
- Running vesktop through your terminal just typing
vesktopto run it should work and look for any errors in there, especially while opening screenshare - Trying out if the issue persists on the stock discord
I really wish I could help you out more, but I've never seen something like this and I don't have any knowledge on how the vesktop screenshare works in detail
oh it's okayy, thanks for the help though, i will try the things you said, though i don't have any plugins or anything, will try other things
i got this error this morning for about 1 hour. i was completely blocked from sending and using discord period, which is quite annoying. i didn't do anything in particular to get this.
is any plugin known to give these kind of issues?
knowing what you have enabled would help

ah ok i didnt need the screenshot
my uneducated guess was it had to do with the MessageLogger one? i assumed maybe i was logging too much and somehow it makes me go rate limited. but even then that shouldn't happen wouldnt the msgs be logged locally
idk
message logger doesn't make http requests
everything there should only request when you actually use them
i don't think its our fault you're being rate limited
make sure you don't use a VPN, they are generally abused
i am not
wayland hates discord screen share for some reason. known issue
i installed vesktop thinking it would use less RAM than Discord + Vencord but it's using 1GB
compared to like 700-800mb

has streaming been fixed yet it's quite annoying having to switch to stock when i want to stream something
Discord + vencord setup uses a dedicated discord app, while vesktop is based on the web version. My guess is that that's the reason. The official discord app could just be more optimized when it comes to the ram usage, idk

Vesktop settings → Enable splash screen... Or build vesktop changing the splash screen to whatever you want 😆
Thank you. I wish i knew about this sooner.
im on arch linux i added a cp and it broke this is what it showing when i run it from the terminal:

anyway devbuilds arent supported and just read the error
Maybe try this?

wget https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/releases/download/v1.5.6/Vesktop-1.5.6.AppImage
sudo mv Vesktop-1.5.6.AppImage /usr/bin/vesktop
thanks but it was a permission issue
i fix it
(Oh damn I forgot the chmod again)
but i added one #1256395889354997771 but it dont show
where do i set up the userplugins folder 🥀
v+ no support
what happened to the vesktop github issues tab?
Ok so I:
-Built from source
-Made the userplugins folder and inserted my plugin
-Packaged and ran directly from the Vesktop folder
And my plugin still won't show up in the plugins list / work.
I have been trying for an hour. Did what the documentation said I should.
matter of fact, there isn't even a plugins folder under src
third party plugins = not supported
me when misinformation
i might be blind 💜
also the docs should be clear, read them again
not sure why you're packaging vesktop at all, you don't have to do that (unless u wanna modify vesktop code)
oh, well... ive just never built programs for source ;p i wouldn't know how to set up a shortcut that's not from the exe
omg moth
hi
vesktop-git
oh so it got changed?
damn
probably should uninstall this version of the package and install that one then
how it feels to spread misinformation when mods are sleeping
but im on x11, don't know why it's happening to me ;-;
Bumping this, what happened?
It was removed
Why? There's was a lot of good info there
Probably due to the amount of duplicate issues as well as unrelated things
Where do bug reports go?
Here
🤔 surely that doesn't help with duplicate issues
Never said it made sense, I’m just following along with what is happening
I see
Well thank you for letting me know
The roadmap on the readme is a dead link now: https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/issues/324
Indeed
Hmmm that dont look quite write
It seems its not registering on that but if i look at server info it shows
Not my theme or quick css
Hey, God bless! Ever since I've set a custom status (the balloon next to your avatar) my activity does not work anymore. arRPC is running just fine. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Vencord: v1.12.0 • 89ef26e (Vesktop v1.5.6) - 6 May 2025
Client: stable ~ Vesktop v1.5.6
Platform: Linux x86_64
What's a vesktop?
?
So like vencord is just extension type of discord to enhance it.
But vesktop is app made by vencord people which is highly similar to discord
But has vencord features pre built in?
its a custom discord app by vencord (with vencord preinstalled)
mainly focused on being lightweight and for better linux support
When I stream a game via vesktop, it lags significantly. Debian KDE btw !
If it's nvidia gpu, it's because there's no NVENC support
nah its AMD. specifically the rx 6600
Why vesktop so grainy?
how does your background look like that?
wdym by "look like that"?
like
also, im assuming the issue is related to Xwayland or something?
the color
oh! the background of vesktop? I use the catppuccin style
as for the transparancy, and image, I use hyprland :3
but i do still need help with the grainy UI :3
probably xwayland and fractional scaling
whats the easiest fix?
probably to disable fractional scaling
vesktop "disconnects" itself from the voice channel after a few mins, but doesn't say in the UI (shows still connected)
so you can't hear people at all
if I'm looking at someone's stream, the stream still plays normally
anyone have this issue? I don't think it happens with the normal vencordclientmod
Is there a fix for vesktop completely cutting all computer audio when you try to stream, until the stream ends? I am loving every feature of vesktop but this is really a killer for my usage of it.
just unmute your system audio when you start streaming
it'll be fixed in the next update
Wow that's a really funny bug, I didn't notice at all that's what was happening. Thank you!
Hei! got a tiny problem:
Context: I'm playing world of warcraft through proton 10 on a second virtual desktop (easier than alt tab). CachyOS for the lulz (it just works well, ok?)
Issue: When I'm switching to "desktop 1" everything is as expected but the Vesktop app shows the in-game cursor. If I click on anythnig I will be switched back to "desktop 2" on world of warcraft. Repeating the same action won't reproduce again. Only from time to time
Note: It also happens with the BattleNet launcher so it might not be related to Vesktop at all but worth a shot... It doesn't reproduce on other applications tho (firefox, dolphin, terminal, steam, etc)
HOLY SHIT BETTERFOLDERS GOT FIXED SUDDENLY

is there any way i can get rid of the titlebar? i want to use a different one
Vesktop Settings > Discord Titlebar > enable
it is on, i restarted it aswell (also my friends voice echos in stream)
Vencord > Disable window frame sorry
thank you 
-# This is an automated sticky message.
hello!
i would like to ask just one quick question
how could i edit my cursor so that it shows up as something else
wouldnt u just edit ur cursor in windows?
no i mean like just for discord specifically
like how i have on my current website
i want a cursor similiar to that but im not sure how to intergrate / edit the css for that

Hey guys, I've been using vesktop for a while and screenshare was working but stopped working sometime ago I don't remember how long ago it was
I'm on Linux with Wayland btw
I see the preview of the stream on my client but the other users in the call see the "..." loading thing
my friend hears his own voice when hes watching my screenshare (i shared my desktop audio)
Don't use Vesktop for streaming on windows if this a big deal for you, we haven't done nearly as much work for screensharing on Windows for vesktop
am i the only whose vesktop lags super hard when showing this screwen
or is this like a known issue, in which case could someone link me the thread puh lekasee
Hello, I'm a little new and downloaded Vesktop via flatpak install flathub dev.vencord.Vesktop
I'm unsure if it's a Vesktop or Vencord issue.
I am trying to stream openMW (TES: Morrowind) to a friend. When I restart my PC and load into Vesktop and stream, it works fine for a min or two, but then Artifacts/Lags out and they just see (...) and then Error 2012. I think it times out.
I can show some screenshots if it helps.
Trying to run vesktop on wayland with --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland but I cannot screenshare.
[12151:0506/212550.301681:ERROR:shared_x_display.cc(39)] Unable to open display

[12151:0506/212550.301739:ERROR:shared_x_display.cc(39)] Unable to open display
I'm using niri which has absolutely zero xwayland support. Is there no way for me to run vesktop and screenshare without xwayland?
Original issue: https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/issues/772
Intermittent audio spikes occur when streaming with audio, whatever audio is currently being streamed will be extremely loud for a split second
I have been able to reproduce this reliably since Jul 2024, when I started using Vesktop
- Start a stream in Vesktop
- Choose an audio source
- Go live
- Have the audio source you chose play audio
- Wait for audio spikes
hey im having the same issue, did you find what specifically fixed it for you?
ive disabled all the plugins, but it didnt help 
I have this issue when Vesktop is running under Wayland. Force under X11 and the empty voice room does not lag the client. This is under Linux w/ KDE for me.
Can confirm I will occasionally have this same exact problem. I notice the behavior is more frequent when streaming a resource (CPU) intensive game while attempting to stream.
Using qpwgraph on a secondary monitor under vesktop I can add an anectdote that during the "spike" in audio I notice there is multple connections to the playback sink (headphones) from the application itself. Next time it happens I will pull some log information from pipewire to confirm the multi sink connection duplication
this happened to me also on vesktop, but i think it's just due to the hacky way vesktop does audio
sorry if this gets asked a lot im not sure. I know normal discord streaming is working fine, but I really don't like using it because it shares all of my system audio, which i don't want and is irritating. I would like to get vesktop to work for streaming. The main issue is that for months i have been entirely unable to stream anything whatsoever with audio that doesnt create something that looks like this, running KDE 6 wayland
if i dont stream with audio i can get this to go up to 720p ish at times
ive tried changing basically every conceivable setting and nothing even slightly fixes this
every time i google this issue everyone i see says its fixed
oh yeah ive tried it on my system running on my intel gpu and my nvidia gpu and both have the same results
but you can change where the audio capture is taken from on the regular discord client?
Lol, just yesterday I had to fresh install my os and vesktop along with it, and now I have this issue once again. No plugin, completely vanilla install, no css themes... I really don't know what it is this time around 
Can we get a post in #1257025907625951423
regular client just has a checkbox that says this and will always stream all audio on your system except discord, unless im missing something
thats why i want to get streaming on vesktop to work
didnt mean to reply ping
hello i might be dumb but is the "fake nitro" means i can change my profile and everything? cause i dont have nitro and somehow apperance changes sync on my phone too... im i stupid?

i'm having the same issue as above
Vesktop Appimage, Arch w/ KDE Wayland
The official discord flatpak works fine with screensharing on my system, for the record
Same. Vesktop Appimage, Arch w/ KDE Wayland.
I think we just gotta wait for an update. Not working well on Arch KDE Wayland

Hey guys,
I have vsync issues when streaming. I don't know why but I have it since a few weeks and it is pretty annoying
same issue with streaming for me on Arch hyprland but when i click the stream button nothing happens
your portals aren't installed.
did this work? asking cuz i got the same issue rn lol
would you mind elaborating on this?
An XDG Desktop Portal (later called XDP) is a program that lets other applications communicate swiftly with the compositor through D-Bus.
It’s used for stuff like e.g. opening file pickers, screen sharing.
On Wayland, it also requires an implementation. For Hyprland, you’d usually use xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (later called XDPW)
Unfortunately,...
https://wiki.hyprland.org/hyprland-wiki/pages/Useful-Utilities/Hyprland-desktop-portal/
install xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland

On Wayland, it also requires an implementation. For Hyprland, you’d usually use xdg-desktop-portal-wlr (later called XDPW)

ty guys
after having done all that i can now stream but nobody can join my stream as they get infinite loading
launch with --disable-features=AcceleratedVideoEncoder
While streaming with sound, the vesktop audio (including other user's talking) is captured by the stream and echoed back to users in the stream (issue #569 and 789 and https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/pull/1068). Official discord works fine. Is there anything that can be done?
hey using the vesktop client through flatpak, discord likes to unload when I have been in a different virtual desktop on plasma for awhile, I'm not sure if its because of that, or just it being in the background, but when in VCs but doing something in a browser its very annoying
I did change this setting in flatseal after noticing it happening so trying to look into it, but changing it has not helped.
I'm on openSuSe with wayland on KDE plasma, if any of that is relevant
following up with a quick question: Are you using anything akin to Easy Effects, or other audio modificiation utilities? just want to try and narrow down some of the jank I have going on that may be influencing this problem.
It could honestly be more Pipewire related than Vesktop related (or responsible)
I use goxlr-utility, outside of that, no
aight thanks, I have an example of crunchiness but not the doubled volume at beginning of streaming yet. I will keep trying. The only thing I can think is that multiple instances of the same source gets shoved into the vencord-screen-share sink and whatever the system default audio playback device is. In this case is my EF sink. Not all games do this as some (Like CS2) will only create one audio stream that is active.
I can stop and restart the stream and find the culprit (see second pic)
A duplicate chromium playback source appears for a moment after selecting an audio source and starting the stream. Once it goes away the audio is not doubled.
My thought is that there is a closed loop of source-sink-monitor audio that causes the problem. I do not know if this is a Vesktop issue and just some jank with Pipewire?
are you doing entire system audio or specific programs
specifically selecting Oblivion remastered in this instance
but it goes for any of the games if I choose the particular audio source. I dont select system wide audio often, but ill try and see if it shows similar doubling
@distant wadi I tested it with qpwgraph and I can confirm that two extra chromium inputs get piped into the audio output I have set for vesktop when the audio spike happens, and then they go away
Normal operation vs when the spike happens
sorry for shitty quality, it's a recording
there is a way in qpwgraph, though im inexperienced, to set some mutually exclusive rules so more sources cannot stack on top of others to a sink. Though I never had a good experience as then I broke audio in games where streams come in and out or have a different number at different times.
Curious to see if the spike can be mitigated through that
(I don't have anything else putting audio out to that output, I am playing audio and streaming audio from firefox, which goes to a different output)
I don't think that's a solution for me unfortunately
Since I usually have multiple sources going into that sink
ill continue messing around. I was trying to put pipewire into debug log but due to some scheduling I may have to wait for the weekend to dig
so just to confirm that new chromium node is looping the entire system audio through itself?
I have no pre existing knowledge with pipewire, so I'm kind of in the dark
or just what was selected for screenshare
Not the entire system, only what is being streamed
just what is selected
It just sounds like whatever you are streaming is really loud for a second
well, a split second
Here's an audio clip of it happening
It seems to happen somewhat reliably when starting the stream, but it also just happens randomly, and it's pretty jumpscarey lol
when sharing no audio does the node get created
while streaming yeah?
I've never had the problem when choosing no audio
Yes, only ever while streaming with audio
If you stop the stream, it no longer happens
I want to know if the node is spawning for the split second not if its playing audio, as you've said it only plays shared audio
Oh, so if I am sharing audio for an application that isn't playing audio?
I'll test it
this sounds like an issue with chromium/electron itself but I don't really know how chromium handles creating audio nodes
I'm just gonna @chilly wagon
maybe this should be moved to an issue on the venmic repo for tracking
it seems like it does still make it when there is no audio playing, those extra two sources aren't created when starting a stream without audio sharing
we need a mexican to join vc to help our buddy
theres a guy who needs help he only speaks spanish tho
we dont do support in vc
is there a way to launch vesktop with wayland support besides passing --ozone-platform=wayland to the program?
I've done some more trial and error, and I'm not sure that's the actual way to fix it, but I did these 2 steps:
- deleted ~/.config/electron directory;
- installed the
electronpackage from my distro repo.
Now it started booting up normally with no transparent window 
edit: now it doesn't work, I fucking can't go on anymore
Hi I had troubles recently On vesktop which forced me to go back to discord
Voice chat not working : When in settings to test mic it works perfectly but in voice chat just no one hears me
Same goes for me I dont hear anyone else although its put on the right headset.
Moreover when in settings its just strange like i dont see the settings unless i move my mouse over the place i want to see. Kinda like i need to erase in order to see settings.
In chats, when scrolling up or down half of the time only a small fraction actually moves up like i also need to go over it with my mouse to see the rest.
When sharing screen on a game I dont hear my game anymore.(All of this happens without custom UI) When using custom UI, when clicking on profiles, they are just transparent except for the text written.
Could somebody assist me?
When sharing screen on a game I dont hear my game anymore
this is a known issue on the latest version, hopefully fixed next update
you can enable it again manually
Wdym manually?
Hello! i have a very weird bug occuring seemingly random. Vesktop sometimes blinks in and out, or some parts of the discord UI do that, the messages disappear and reappear after a few miliseconds, stuff like that. Is there any known fix for that? Running it on Pop!Os 22.04, vencord version 1.5.6
Heyy
I enabled the plugin MemberCount but all servers show a status_online ? for online members on all of my servers
Is it known, is there a way to fix this ?
I've restarted Vencord after the plugin was added, I've got the lastest version (downloaded like 20min ago) Vencord 89ef26e (Standalone)
wdym ?
i've opened this server, didn't change it still an interrogation point
Edit : found, i needed to open the user pannel
found it i needed to open the server member tab
sadly discord doesn't load them if the member tab is closed
Hello, is full screen share working for anyone on wayland ? window screen share works fine but not full screen, just loads till infinity, or screen goes black for people watching but, my preview is fine
Is there finally vencord on iOS?
God damn it I’ve been waiting almost a year now😭
there likely wont be an ios version
Hello, anyone have experience with screensharing on X11? My preview looks fine but then the actual stream has the colors inverted
system issue likely
are you on arch?
nope
fedora kde spin
normal discord flatpak version didnt have this issue
Oh weird, the colors are normal when im using 1080p or 1440p as streaming resolution.
I think this is a chromium issue
It seems to happen sometimes when a link is created - which just starts feeding input into the node, maybe it's some sort of buffer thing in chromiums side that results in the spike
you were my only hope
in fullscreen when alt tabbing it creates more windows of vesktop
(Auto-response invoked by @grim lake)
oh mb i misread it
Each time i start a new session i get logged out, and no cookies are stored when i login
Is that a known issue or is it just on my end?
vp nodevtools
Disables the 'HOLD UP' banner in the console. As a side effect, also prevents Discord from hiding your token, which prevents random logouts.
Vee
Enable this
Thanks!
Even after the update, when starting a stream with audio enabled, Vesktop mutes my PC volume. When I stop the stream, it briefly sets it to MAXIMUM (WHY?! Who thought that was a good idea?) and then back to how it was before. How do I disable this? I want to keep my audio ON when I begin streaming, and not shatter my eardrums when I turn the stream off.
Ok, hope it gets fixed soon.
Tested yesterday with fltapak version & both Wayland & X11 fallback sessions are working.
I've noticed on X11 my streams take a long time for viewers to load into, but do work eventually. Wayland is working as intended without delay.
Switch to wayland also did the trick lol
I have Bluetooth headphones and I'm using nobara 42 (I tried with 41 too) which is fedora, which is Linux. 10 days ago the audio output was OK. Now it doesn't work. Both from users and from system sound. In the settings the audio output is right (my headphones). On YouTube I can hear sounds without issues
Take a look at where Discord is piping audio with helvum
If you're on a Fedora 42 deriviative it should be 100% wireplumber
What command do I need to write?
so uh
i see this message even though i have the plugin allowing you to jump
i specificically clicked on the "Blocked message" portion of a reply; the reply was a self-reply sent from someone i had blocked
technically this belongs in #🏥-vencord-support-🏥 so ima move it there
helvum is a gui tool; its on flathub
for some reason, vesktop seems to be freezing up entirely, requiring me to run pkill -9 vesktop on fedora. only on 2 different desktop environments, too (i3wm and icewm)
it only seems to do it when someone dms me
there might be a chance that it doesnt freeze but usually it does
This channel is only for Vesktop (our custom Discord app). For Vencord support, use #🏥-vencord-support-🏥
-# This is an automated sticky message.
i used yay to install vensktop, and it's super slow to load, like it takes 1m+ to just launch it. What could be causing this? (im on arch with a nvidea gpu)
themes dont like css
and css dont like oldcord
So I can't use client theme with oldcord fix
i dunno.. i use vencord so im not really qualified for this, but thats the general thing
themes are generally buggy
does anyone know a fix for streams loading indefinitely when others try to watch me?
launch with --disable-features=AcceleratedVideoEncoder
where do i put these launch flags?
in the .desktop Exec= field
your DE might have a gui for it
plasma has this
took me a while but think its working now ty
gonna test and see how long it lasts
Between platforms, how do the window/task icons work?
If it is all using the VC icon, then that is quite fair. In fact, I would like to see that as the default option
But an option to use Discord window icon (w/ notifications, and Nitro options) would be nice
yeah no this doesnt work
maybe i edited it wrong?
this was the file i edited
i right clicked it and edited in text editor
and i put this in there `Exec=vesktop --disable-features=AcceleratedVideoEncoder %U
`
Is there a plugin or a way to get PTT to work on vesktop if the window isnt active
what's vesktop?
Exactly what the bot says
Hello, does anyone know how to enable desktop badge icons for Vesktop on KDE Plasma? I have libunity installed, and I am running vesktop with the environment variable XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE5 like the Arch Wiki advises, but badge notifications still don't appear.
I've looked online and through this channel and it seems to be a fairly common experience, has anyone found a fix for it?
I should also add that the badge notifications work on the official discord client, just not on Vesktop. Any help would be appreciated!
is the vesktop from flatpak official
yes
perfect thank you
because ios is a little annoying with how they do things
plus vencord is more focused on pc, there are other mobile client mods
this is what i see when i'm trying to call someone
right now both input and output should be set to JBL
this is what i see when i use youtube instead (which works)
I already saw that the problem with infinite loading for others (streaming) is fixable by disabling hardware accelerated video encoding, but is there a way that fixes that when I select a window or screen to share, click on stream it opens that window again and I HAVE to select it again or else the stream wont start or stream will stop?? Running CachyOS under KDE Plasma Wayland btw.
Hey guys I need some help. Whenever im trying to view a stream that is 1440p or higher, my vesktop freezes, turns black and then i get the KDE crash notification that vesktop.bin has crashed. This doesnt happen when viewing streams that are 1080p or lower

Umm, so is there a way to use a different window frame? Like right now for me vesktop is showing the default windows 11 window frame.
you should be able to use this option right here

Does not work for me...
maybe toggling off and on would work. I mean even nasa did it to a sattelite.
OMG THAT WORKED
TYSM
oh np lol
ok so it turns out that somehow TLP got reset and it was applying the power save profile on this device
which was lagging out Vencord. For some reason
soo is there no fix for the ghosting in vesktop with hardware accel on or is just just a known issue that i cant fix? I didnt get a reply the first time so i wanna know :D
what happened to the issue tracker on github?
every time its turned back on again somebody uses it for support which it is not for
i see
i'm having a problem with vesktop on fedora 42 - it logs me out of my discord account every time i restart my pc. i tried reinstalling it, but it still happens. i recently enabled 2FA, and the issue seems to have started after that, though i'm not sure if it's the cause. this doesn’t happen in the regular discord app from flatpak (also my vesktop is from flatpak), so i think it’s something with vesktop. any idea what might be going on?

Here I posted helvum @open raft
wait, what happened to the nsfw plugin?
oh ok
why is it all mono lmao
Dunno. How can I change it? I'm not using any plugins
Do I need to uninstall and reinstall?
Is there anyone? I can't use vesktop as of now. Discord is useful for me as a voice chat. I can't use the voice chat cause it can't output data
every couple of hours i will get signed out of my main account
when i check the sessions thing, it correlates with when the session refreshes
my main account is usually the only one signed in. my alts are fine.
this has happened once every couple of days, and now THRICE today.
i don't know but i suspect it's to do with vesktop
if this is an account issue, please let me know. i'm concerned.
thanks!
:3
it happens whenever i'm away from my computer
So did I do something wrong or is there a missing step? I installed vesktop from the rpm (running nobara). I also installed arrpc and run it from the terminal with just npx arrpc. From the looks of it, arrpc recognizes games just fine but even with vesktop rich presence setting enabled, steam games don't seem to show up in vesktop. arrpc output shows clearly that game detected and if i run arrpc first and vesk after, arrpc output says new connection detected. And yes, running games via proton. Ge proton go be precise.
lately vesktop has been incredibly sluggish in just about everything, just now when i was trying to open it it took a solid 30 seconds to start and restarting the client (using the restart button) after enabling a plugin took so long it was quicker for me to alt f4 and open again

apart from this quickcss, but surely this wouldn't cause so much sluggishness
hey i usually use vesktop on linux and i tried it on windows and when i try to screen share an application like a game, the audio it captures captures the discord call and my friends can hear themselves and it does not have the audio selection button just before you start streaming like it does on linux. Is there a fix so that my audio doesn't capture the discord call? thanks!
use official discord with vencord installed on windows, barely any work has been put into vesktop on windows
I just switched to the default Discord client, honestly it works amazingly, so much better than Vesktop. I think they updated it recently and streaming works perfectly, even with audio. And so smoothly, even the microphone quality is better
I don't think I am going to be looking back, with the issues tab being removed (and all the existing information in the issues along with it, since they weren't migrated anywhere else) and the consistent passing on of issues upstream
Is screenshare fixable for Wayland on Fedora KDE? Others see a permanently loading screen
Try the default discord client
@pastel narwhal Hi can we talk?
Ur in the vesktop support channel

anyone know how to enable hardware acceleration video encoding for streaming?
doesnt want to use my gpu when i stream
why is vesktop pasting when i middle click
i disabled that in plasma settings and it doesnt do it anywhere else
is this normal
potentially discard this message, i was on an outdated version.
Hi, does anyone know a way to run vesktop with only Pulseaudio instead of Pipewire ?
I've an old proc and whenever it's at 100% using pipewire, the sound deteriorates
I updated vesltop and now its broken and wont launch no matter how many times I repair it
electron/chromium uses pulse
vesktop needs pipewire for audio share
does it only use venmic lib to handle all audio ?
Does anyone know how to use automatic voice detection on vesktop for linux?
my bad if this is a dumb question, but, what is vesktop?
Read what the bot says
Has anyone managed to find a way to fix HEVC/h265 encoded video playback? adding these flags "--enable-features=DefaultANGLEVulkan,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,Vulkan,VulkanFromANGLE" does not help.
Ok, so vesktop doesn't work and nobody knows why. Is there any alternative?
does vesktop support external plugins?
it uses vencord, and vencord does not support 3rd party plugins unless you compile yourself. we cannot help you with how to do it
ight
Yes
i dont know if this is just me but the web app just recently made it so i get disconnected for like a second from a vc
theres a ton of other ppl with the same problem but i dont see any fixes
it just shows like RTC disconnected for like a second and then it comes back
i have it on it aswell
nvm guys im silly, this guy said it worked with vencord, imma trust him , surely
surely i didnt reply in the wrong area
Read the rest of the notification
vesktop opens, but is not displayed. sometimes it helps to press “repair vencord” in the tray, sometimes just reboot, but most of the time it doesnt help.
latest flapak version
When I have obs running (i have it running all the time, because of replay buffer feature), vesktop turns on streamer mode. When I click "disable", after few seconds it enables back

This is probably unfixable but i figured id bring it up,
When using Steam Clipping which was recently implemented, when someone else embeds them it seems to just not play on Vesktop but works fine on regular Discord. And browser discord also breaks it. It displays a still image, or a still image with audio and nothing else.
Also bump
is this one the official chrome extension?

Hello, I have a arch based OS (CachyOS) with wayland and hyprland. When screen sharing, I have to confirm my screen several times, after I share my screen I can see my screen in the screen share preview but no one else, literally no one else can see my screen, it just keeps loading for them.
I have tried other discord variants, and in those if I were to screen share, my wayland and discord would straight up crash.
Can someone please help
for some reason whenever i have vesktop opened my rich presence will display minecraft and it never goes away till i close it
is there any way to get custom keybinds on vesktop
add the --disable-gpu flag to the end of your .desktop file.
@jagged sequoia
The issue on github would tell you what flags worked, however vee decided to disable issues on the vesktop repo, and I haven't heard the reason why.
anything about this?
u either have minecraft open or have that set in your customrpc plugin
how to use Android phone?
Welcome to the Learning Center. Here, you can find everythin
how do i hide this? (without actually enabling mfa)
was previously using a ublock filter, but i trying vesktop and idk how to do it without ublock
please tell how to use phone? #vencord
You don’t
Domino is having the same issue! He opens Vesktop, but nothing actually displays. He's running a fresh install of Fedora 42 KDE Edition.
This isn't an issue with Vesktop per se, but where can I find a development roadmap? This link on the Github is broken: https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/issues/324
I take it there is no current roadmap then?
it is still there, just "issue" tab is disabled for now so u cant see
I see. I was trying to figure out if tray icon notification badges were slated for the next update
does vesktop include openasar?
It doesn’t require it
idk why you're pensive reacting that
it doesn't use discord's asar, so it doesn't work with openasar
we can't use openasar as a discord asar replacement if we aren't using discord's asar
does it still have the auto-gain stuck enabled issue? it was the main thing preventing me from using vesktop
has anyone had an issue with game streaming ?

Domino is unable to get Vesktop to show up on Fedora 42 with KDE Plasma. It will be present in the system tray and the task bar, but there's no way to actually open the app. The app will work perfectly after a fresh install, but as soon as Vesktop is closed, it cannot be opened anymore. Any ideas?
vesktop causes my microphone volume to drop, I turned off “Automatic Gain Control” in discord settings, but it didn't help
os: windows
when I use it for streaming I hear double audio, but i dont change my usual settings in terms of mic input? The ppl in the call hear their voice in the stream?
how would one automate ARRPC turning on?
Nevermind, I just installed the AUR package of arrpc and it included a service that I just enabled.
god please what the fuck is this cpu usage and the lag when typing
this is motivating me to check how it's going on discord patched with vencord, I don't remember anything like this happening on that
this looks bad
The most common cause of lag is poorly written CSS.
To see if this is the case for you, try temporarily disabling all themes and your QuickCSS.
If that indeed fixes the lagging, you'll have to figure out which theme / part of your QuickCSS is causing the lag.Just slowly remove parts of it until it doesn't lag anymore.
tried that, quickcss is not the cause
disabled all themes (AND online themes) and quickcss ?
unless @imports affect perf even when quickcss is disabled
vf themes
open the dev tools with CTRL + Shift + i (Cmd + Option + i on MacOs) and click on the "console" tab at the top. Then paste and run (with enter) the following code.
It will
- disable custom css (you can turn it back on in Vencord Settings)
- copy your current theme links to your clipboard as a backup
- remove all themes
(() => {
Vencord.Settings.useQuickCss = false
try {
const copy = window.copy ?? Vencord.Webpack.Common.Clipboard.copy
copy(Vencord.Settings.themeLinks.join("\n"))
} catch { }
Vencord.Settings.themeLinks = []
Vencord.Settings.enabledThemes = []
})()
press run snippet
hm now it's a lot better
so had to be either the single theme I had or something in my css
23s is still insane
at least it's usable now lol
this is how it should be
did you disable hardware acceleration / run with --disable-gpu (or have any gpu process crash errors in the terminal)?
3x no
I think
is hardware accel in settings?
ok vesktop settings, it's enabled
truly concerning

My stream is not loading for others while streaming full screen but on firefox it works just fine is there any way to fix that?
or its either like this while streaming a window
whenever i screenshare on vesktop, all of my audio completely cuts out on my entire pc. is this a known bug? happens for my friend aswell
installed vesktop on plucky puffin through flatpak and got this trailing effect while moving the window around. when a screenshot is taken the area in the screenshot where the trail would be is transparent instead. not as in you can see the window behind it but if the screenshot was posted here you could see the discord background where the trail is, hence why the video is taken by phone instead of a screen recording
downgrade vesktop or build from source with a bumped electron version
this worked, thanks
tried switching to vesktop because screenshare on base discord was really glitchy and audio would cut out after some time but unfortunately the issue persists on vesktop
probably not your issue unfortunately but thought to bring it up in case someone knows of a solution
ok so don't do this shit #emoji-picker-tab-panel [class|=listItems][style="inset: 0px 0px 8px 8px;"] > [class|=categorySection]:first-child:has(svg > path[d^="M21.924 8.61789C21.77 8.24489"]) :is(ul/*emojiListRow*/, [class|=headerIcon] > svg, [class|=headerLabel]) or [class^=actionIcon_]:has(>[d^="M14.5 8a3 3 0 1 0-2.7-4.3c"]) etc. these cursed selectors were the cause of my initial issue and it's why removing (not disabling) quickcss did improve perf a lot
Hey there, i recently installed Vesktop on my steam deck (so steamOS) via the discover app and for some reason notification badges arent properly showing up (the little number thats supposed to show how many notifs you have). I've made sure its turned on in Vesktop and I've tried changing the notification type from desktop notif to vencord notif and completely reinstalling the app but neither of those fixed it. Has anyone else had this issue? Vesktop doesn't show up as an app you can dictate custom notification settings for in steamOS settings unfortunately
libunity is needed but its very broken and not packaged basically anywhere and we dont bundle it in the flatpak
ahh, i see. so i guess until it's fixed it's basically just not possible then? sucks to hear, but at least i dont have to go on a wild goose chase, haha
Is it common for some video files to crash vesktop? Not like, any 'malicious videos' or anything, just sometimes full-screening a video with crash the client, and my assumption is that its either a corrupt/incorrect file (eg. renaming .mpv to .mp4), something my operating system is missing by default (arch), or hopefully and probably not, something wrong with Vesktop
If i can find a repro, ill get one, but for now, just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem
Domino may have found a fix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sungl8gWU_8
Go to 2:09 in this video, follow the steps to create a new special application rule, add the desktop file rule, and leave it as just "vesktop" (this is the default). Click ok and save. So far, Domino's vesktop has not broken.

Domino also leaves rich presence off.
what is the difference in the discrd+vencord and vesktop, other that the code and stuff like feature-wise what is different?
lighter at the cost of some optional discord features
ohh
sounds like a bug with your system
try to run with vesktop --disable-gpu and see if that fixes it
also could you post one such video file?
Just installed Arch with Hyprland and downloaded Vesktop from Flatpak, but when I go to stream, it just loads forever on the recieving side. No significant errors on my side when i stream. Any quick fixes for this?
Seems to be like 50/50 who can open my stream
anyone have any idea why my stream audio isn't working? i'm running it from the flatpak install and i'm using pulseaudio + wayland if it helps
II know this is a weird ask but is there any custom css or plugin that makes this area in the PFP preview area opaque? I know it's weird, but it would be nice
css
any update i'm on arch/hypr wayland i even tried xwaylandvideobridge and still keeps loading noone can see my screen share
oh thanks
Is there a way to define on which display Vesktop starts up in?
Recently, it has a habit of starting up in Display #1 (primary, landscape), when it had little issue previously in starting up on display #2 (side display, portrait)
guessing nobody has made css for this yet?
run it via XWayland instead of Wayland and it'll remember its position
I am using Windows...
then skill issue
it should already remember its position
if it doesn't, issue on your end
It does not, in my case
I tried everything under the sun to try to force Vesktop to remember, but no dice
Windows Key + R
Paste %APPDATA%/Vesktop
Share the contents of state.json (windows explorer might hide the .json extension)
{
"firstLaunch": false,
"windowBounds": {
"x": -2168,
"y": -1749,
"width": 2176,
"height": 3856
},
"displayId": 1021149106,
"maximized": true,
"minimized": false
}
only reason it would reset its position is if your display ids are consistent
- Move Vesktop to the monitor you want it on
- Check the displayId in that file
- Fully close (from tray) Vesktop and reopen it
- repeat steps 1-2 and see if the displayId is still the same
So, we know that a lot of Vesktop users on Linux have problems with streaming to others, in which others cannot see the stream as it either loads forever or shows an error 2012 (even though audio works ok). And that the fix is to disable HW encode by appending the argument --disable-features=AcceleratedVideoEncoder.
So HW encode is broken in Electron, does it have an upstream issue #?
For some reason I am able to screenshare on the official discord app with vencord patched but not vesktop, is there a chance this is not an electron issue?
heyy so just a minor issue ive been having with vesk that im not sure i was getting with discord, whenever I send a message, and then send a message again immediaetly afterwards, theres like a half second delay where my second message shows us greyed out and with my username and pfp above it (and below my previous message)
and then, once that delay is over, my username and pfp and everything goes away and the second message sends properly
its just kind of an annoyance more than anything, as it makes things look kinda slow and I know it wasnt doing that to me before
is this meant to happen 😭
i apologize. i am an idiot and have installed the wrong version
well now it just white screens me -canary release
UPDATE: works on the stable release channel
vmute 1d spam
Done!
Muted airisreborn (@reef cobalt) for 1 day
I have done this, and no, the display ID has changed
hello, recently i've started seeing weird issues with the window border on a gnome + wayland setup on arch while using the flatpak release.
i'm pretty sure it's related to this electron PR: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/46624
and this issue:
https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/46484
could we get a dependency bump for electron or something like that?
Description of Change
Closes #46484.
Refs #46155.
Fixes an inverted conditional in the above PR that caused broken window borders in some circumstances on Wayland.
Checklist
PR description inclu...
You used the official discord app from Flathub, or some other distribution?
You used Vesktop from Flathub, or AppImage, or something else?
vesktop from the aur, discord from arch's extra repo
(Using arch w/ wayland)
do i sniff a linux user
Got to a state where restarting refreshes the state file without actually changing anything
All I can do is hope that it actually sticks in the next system boot
oh really, wouldnt have guessed
Anyone know how to add voice processing to vesktop?
I'm seeing some really odd behaviour with vesktop atm, yesterday I was having no issues, havent updated it but today whenever I go to paste a link to a site or an image vesktop immediately crashes. I can paste text just fine. Fedora 42 hyprland, any ideas?
i masked vesktop to fix the electron issue that was mentioned earlier but unmaksed it to see if that would help and it didnt
vesktop doesn't work, I had to switch.
same thats for the update T_T
I cannot screenshare at all on Windows
I click the Share button, nothing happens
vesktop on windows is not good
you can use the discord app with vencord
This channel is only for Vesktop (our custom Discord app). For Vencord support, use #🏥-vencord-support-🏥
-# This is an automated sticky message.
for future reference: both have their drawbacks. saying that vesktop is "not good" is blatantly false
#🖥-vesktop-development message what does this mean to arch linux or arch based distro then?... like we're not getting more update on aur or smt like that?
no?
nothing changes
i managed to break something and now vesktop just won't open
it was doing fine yesterday though
nvm fixed it
How to replace shiggy with something else in the splash screen?
cant
I was wondering is there any way to have the vesktop icon in the system tray change to the green voice activity icon when in a channel...?
are you on canary
that would be why
oh
i also meant for vesktop
this was never an issue bfore tho
canary and ptb are test builds for discord
ye, but ive always used it
idk what vesktop is on
but i havnt changed what it was on
ever
thank you
wouldn't have a clue
that post worked
there's a pr of it, just dont know its status
vesktop fails to build from source
we dont give support for compiling

few weeks ago it would show a black screen for the screen share but now it doesn't show anything at all
I have problem, when i turn on screen sharing with sound, i cant hear my friend, and if i turn off it i can, but i want make screen sharing with sound and hear my friend also
how fix it?
Is there any reason the issues on GitHub have been disabled?
guys how can i create a tag using vesktop
You appear to simply be missing libcrypt.so.1 (libxcrypt-compat)
Hi team! My vesktop won't boot, can you people help
Duplicates and issue crated by people who don’t read
(Most likely answer)
how to fix this?
since the last update like 10h ago its like this when i start vesktop
flatpak is latest version already
I thought as much. However many google results for issues with vesktop now result in a 404 which is quite unfortunate
Thats just means ur vesktop client is up to date, vencord is not
It may be beneficial to at least make a note in the README that issues should be directed to the vencord repo or something like that.
Generally repos without issues are always come across a little sketchy if not noted somewhere
thanks that worked
btw how to make a bug report if not on github?
you can just report issues here
vesktop issues != vencord issues
you dont, you do it here (if its about vesktop, and not vencord)
yeah that get just ignored in my experience
Using discord to replace GitHub issues sounds like an absolutely terrible idea from a searchability perspective
well nothing we can do about that
we heard it all
blame people abusing issues/creating dups
its out of our control
Nah, using a proper issue tracker instead of discord is not something that's "impossible" due to bogus reports, most projects have to deal with that
been reporting the screen tearing when scrolling like 10 times here, nobody seemed to care
Not a vesktop issue thats a system issue
As a software developer i totally get that. I just don't think that discord is the solution or even a step towards one
We are well aware
We heard it all
no its only in vesktop, and only after an update from vesktop like 4 months ago.
it worked perfectly fine before discord rolled out the new design update back then. i updated vesktop in flatpack > screen tearing appeard
it might be a debian+vesktop problem sure, still a vesktop problem. but ok i see, no support, no bug report
Its not vesktop
Electron? Maybe
But not vesktop
You may want to try if the problem also occurs in discord to narrow it down
Is vesktop being broken on multi screen systems a known issue? I completely reinstalled the vesktop flatpak (wiping the data as well), it launched fine the first time when I turned my second monitor off, and then when I turn it back on and try to launch vesktop I only get the loading screen and then nothing. I see there are reviews with the same issue for version 1.5.6, is there any workaround?
no discord scroll just fine, its only in vesktop (didnt try vencord itself though)
Your dependencies are kind of part of your software and also need to be managed, don't you think?
damn that bot is annoying, lol
We cant fix someone elses software
Sure
Especially electron
flatpak should handle all the dependencies or not?
Yes
Given that the regular discord client also uses electron it seems unlikely that it is purely an electron issue given discord works fine?
I don’t know the exact specifics of how it works, but it’s still likely a electron/system issue and not vesktop
yeah just wanted to say that too lol
Different versions
Maybe. Seems like vesktop should use a working version as a dependency then?
Easier said than done
Certainly. But a bug / issue with vesktop imho then
Which is why it is more likely to be a system issue
I have tested it on my end, works fine
so i have to live with that then? nice
Ah yes, the old works on my machine. I get that there are loads of issues and this is a free open source project.
But "it works on my machine" is just not a reason not to accept that it is a bug, even if you aren't going to do anything about it
That's why you have public issue trackers - so things like this can be tracked and worked on by the public
I’m not here to argue, its a either a system issue we cant fix (which is most likely) or an electron issue
yeah i basically read it like "not my problem my software is faulty. i dont care at all. go fck yourself, bye"
which i will now do
cya
I’m just the support helper, I don’t maintain it
yeah and bug reports are impossible that way
Feel free to tell me who did and i am gonna happily blame them :D
Great. I blame you, Vee! Please give me proper issue management instead of discord as the only stupid option
not a vesktop issue. try to run with vesktop --disable-gpu to see if it's a problem with your gpu driver
flatpak run dev.vencord.Vesktop --disable-gpu
Passing the following arguments to Electron: --enable-speech-dispatcher

so ive been getting this for a while, im on mac and idk how to fix this, i reinstalled vesktop to maybe fix the issue, but it didnt work.
Try this
thanks, fixed!
Make sure to check ur vesktop isnt set to ptb/canary in vesktop settings
it isnt
Then they must’ve pushed it to stable, thx for the info
Help in changing scaling of vesktop in Hyprland, Arch Linux
size too big of icons and gui in general
Ctrl + 0
See if that works
ctrl + + and ctrl + - did the trick, thanks
Is it I got blocked by github because I use vpn ip
could try without a vpn
Ah, I get around by using a home ip
This channel is only for Vesktop (our custom Discord app). For Vencord support, use #🏥-vencord-support-🏥

Same?

removed
How?

that is just... really dumb
Yes
uhh, since when is the issues panel on the github hidden?
ages ago
ages?
long ago
mistaken afaik
?
hm yeah I suppose
damn :/
I don't really like discord being the only way of tracking issues then-
welp

yeahh
I've seen this stuff happening a lot more often lately, it's kinda sad
oh well, guess I'm not going crazy at least
why is that
