[Bug] error when trying to enter the settings

[JohnnyWolf324]

Before Reporting

• I found no existing issues matching my bug
• My issue is not caused by a plugin or theme

Describe the Bug

When you install better and go to the settings of the application, an error about "unexpected failure" pops up. I did everything and reinstall then discord, then better, completely removed plugins and themes, even deleted all the root folders and did a clean installation - nothing, all the same

Expected Behavior

open the settings and customize them to your needs

Steps To Reproduce

1. i run in on windows 10 pro version 22H2
2. idk default one ig
3. Trying to go to the application settings, a window appears that discord has found an unexpected error, and in the middle there is a reload button
4. there is no error, only the text that "an unexpected error was found"

Operating System

Windows

Discord Version

Stable

BetterDiscord Version

1.0.9011

[lmoroz]

[SoulKnight05]

[ghost]

Known issue, a fix is being worked on.

[kernelb00t]

same on linux (fedora) here

[Mari-Fey]

Same issue, the old fix that fixed it last time doesnt work either.

[MegaShinySnivy]

Can confirm, this happens regardless of any theme or plugins. The console outputs the following on crash...

[Knutsen]

I have the same issue here on MacOS.
OS: Ventura on arm (M1)
I tried to re/install it via Discord canary and the regular discord, no difference.

[canerolu2019]

Currently only option seems to be uninstalling betterdiscord and waiting for a fix

I will do the same. Sadly we have to cope like this atm, until we wait for a fix.

[rellcfw22]

[BurntKrispe]

Experiencing same issue on fresh BD install.

[epicfacethe3rd]

[canerolu2019]

[handylado]

[epicfacethe3rd]

Guys, any update so far??

they're aware of the issue and are working on a fix @canerolu2019 , chill, they're just volunteers

[xenoncolt]

same problem here

[Baikele]

Haven't fixed it yet? This problem seems to exist all the time. It happened when I was using it last year. I reloaded it a few times and it worked, but it didn’t work this time.

[iKatt]

Just use Discord Canary or PTB until BD is patched.

Where can I download this?

[Baikele]

Even using bd on Discord Canary also crashes

It's good, but I don't know why, the plugin can't be loaded normally

is there a workaround for linux systems that you know of or might know someone that might know of it? or no?

[XxUnkn0wnxX]

macos ver:

#!/bin/sh
echo "bd-repair"
cd ~/"Library/Application Support/betterDiscord/data"
killall Discord
curl -O "https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/826217269323235358/1079920833662816277/betterdiscord.asar"

save as bd-repair.sh
then open with "Terminal" App

[Risusama]

the fix is here https://github.com/BetterDiscord/BetterDiscord/actions/runs/4290243389

Can confirm this fixes original problem, which was the crash upon opening Settings menu.

[dunny1g]

the fix is here https://github.com/BetterDiscord/BetterDiscord/actions/runs/4290243389

This fixed the original problem for me too but it crashes for me when I click on some servers which then puts Discord into a crashing loop unless I end it from the system tray.

[DabMK]

I have the same issue on win 10

[moops44]

i dont have the other problems , everything works like it should after i replaced the [betterdiscord.asar] file

[ghost]

I also have the same issue but on Arch Linux. At first, discord would crash at startup but after deleting everything it seems like only by opening the settings the crash will occur. I will try this to see if it'll fix my issue.

[EldraTheThird]

me too bro ;-;

[p0s0]

I have no clue if anyone else is having this issue, but it seems related to this and recently I have been having messages either:

crash Discord whenever they're opened

or not load at all, even from a group chat until Discord is restarted (and even then the message may crash Discord)

[Infinitay]

Can we rename this issue so that people stop creating new issues for the same bug?

[SnakeSixtysix]

Just here to confirm this is universal I have this issue on macos ventura 13.0.1

[smt923]

replacing the .asar does allow me to open my settings again but it seems like every actual plugin is broke, their settings pages no longer opens

[EnderRNWL]

replacing the .asar does allow me to open my settings again but it seems like every actual plugin is broke, their settings pages no longer opens

Where do you replace the .asar file?

[EnderRNWL]

nvm i found it

[EnderRNWL]

Yeah, replacing the asar file doesn't work, and neither does removing the plugins and themes.

[canerolu2019]

I tried that temporary fix yesterday and so far it works like a charm and i can apply the themes with no problem. The only downside is the plugins dont work sadly.

did it work? im still having the issue on Debian

[Desoroxxx]

Same issue here

[Zorunel]

replace in %appdata%\BetterDiscord\data

[Hitazaki]

replacing the .asar does allow me to open my settings again but it seems like every actual plugin is broke, their settings pages no longer opens

it doesn't really seem to work for me cause I still get crashes in the settings :/

[Splash97]

Be prepared for more issues like this in the future because Discord is testing new customization features which may cause a lot of compatiblity issues with BD and plugins

[M-archand]

the fix is here https://github.com/BetterDiscord/BetterDiscord/actions/runs/4290243389

Can confirm this works for me on W10, can go into settings now without crashing. Plugins are still broken but at least theme still works.

[lukiiimohh]

Not working properly on W11 with the installed .asar but working (yes, just working) with the .asar from the workaround. For example is someone is playing a game with the overlay ON it crashes if you click on the profile. Can't right click any server or person profile and some plugins are so buggy. Cheers!

[Kusanalee]

The .asar from the workaround seems to work on macOS Ventura 13.2.1. Plugins are absolutely broken though (and causes the client to crash on loop) - but themes work.

[Chrysanthemum536]

same

[rauenzi]

This has been fixed in the latest release
