Could you please mention your hardware and also Desktop env (Gnome/KDE/I3WM/Sway/Hyprland...) ? Wayland/X11 ? or are you using XWayland to run Discord ?

Can you reproduce this crash using armcord or any other discord client ? (I haven't encountered this issue on my side using armcord which is a modded discord client, hence why I'm asking)

[AkechiShiro]

This looks like something wrong with mesa drivers or the X11 server that is running but I'm not sure as I cannot reproduce the issue :

@thlr1 let me know if you can run discord like so :
discord --in-process-gpu --use-gl=desktop
or
discord --disable-gpu

And provide the logs output if it fails to run.

[AkechiShiro]

Your issue might be related to this : electron/electron#41346 (comment) but I'm not sure, I suggest you investigate if that's the case.

A workaround that should be tested would disabling hardware accel in discord settings.

[thlr1]

Sure, I should have done that from the start:

11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 @ 2.80GHz
No GPU
I use qtile with X11

discord --in-process-gpu --use-gl=desktop: crashed
discord --disable-gpu: crashed
Full logs available here https://gist.github.com/thlr1/37ab08e0cbca25480119039ecbcc3d8f

Disabling hardware acceleration did not work either.

armcord with vencord seems to work just fine so I will be using that for now thanks :) Also it looks stupidly awesome so there's a good chance I won't go back to the standard client that crashes every other day...

Thanks a lot and best of luck with the bug investigation
