try updating your quickshell version

[youssefam1n]

try updating your quickshell version

i did a full system update and if it had an update it would've updated the package name is quickshell-git it was installed by the install script

[AstoSolo]

same problem rn

[Saint2999]

try to manually update quickshell-git with
yay -S quickshell-git

[moechakucha]

i did a full system update and if it had an update it would've updated the package name is quickshell-git it was installed by the install script

the git version of quickshell on aur has a fixed pkgver and thus wont be updated with things like -Syu. try updating quickshell-git alone or use chaotic aur for quickshell

[GlCap]

Had the same problem, I resolved by rebuilding manually quickshell-git (delete all pre-built files) and google-breakpad

[didntchooseaname]

Same issue there, after proper reinstallation it's fine.
