Simple Guide (Windows)

  1. Copy this: %localappdata%\Discord\app-1.0.9030\resources
  2. Right click here, and click save link as
  3. In the Windows file explorer popup, paste what you copied in the top location bar (shown below), and press enter image
  4. Double click the app.asar (or just app) file, and confirm replace
  5. Restart Discord using the system tray (bottom right small icon, not the taskbar), right click the icon > quit. Open Discord again normally.

Install

  1. Download latest nightly release
  2. Find your app.asar, it should be <where the Discord exe is>/resources/app.asar. Rough (version and naming isn't exact) paths for OSs:
  • Windows: %localappdata%\Discord\app-1.0.9030\resources\app.asar
  • Linux: depends on how you installed, find your binary path and then /resources/app.asar
  • Mac: /Applications/Discord.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar
  1. Backup your original app.asar (rename to app.asar.backup / etc)
  2. Move downloaded app.asar into the original path app.asar (you may need to be root on Linux)
  3. Restart Discord via system tray (you can check your version info in settings to see if OpenAsar is installed)

Notices

  • On Linux you must have unzip installed (via package manager). You likely do already but ensure if you're having issues with updates / etc as that would cause it.
  • If you have a app.orig.asar or _app.asar file, replace and rename that (same name) instead of app.asar. Your mod has renamed it.

Uninstall

  1. Find your app.asar (see above)
  2. Replace app.asar with app.asar.backup if it is over 1MB, else try reinstalling Discord.
