Couldn't connect to Discord via RPC: RPC_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT

[authorless]

I ran into a problem where RPC can't get a connection.
I've already tried all the ways. I waited 10 minutes after creating the bot; entered the user id (my own); entered the application id and all in vain. Help me please...

And also gives an error: "Failed to reconnect to Discord Gateway"

Restart your discord, see if it fix the issue

Restarting Discord didn't help me.
Still gets this error: Failed to reconnect to Discord Gateway

I am attaching a screenshot of the console error. I hope that my screenshot can help find a solution to this problem.

Also just a question, is it possible to disable this annoying notification if we don't want to start discord when coding? Would be amazing to just add an option to silent these (keeping the "reconnect to discord gateway" in the status bar)

I agree with @QuentiumYT ... I requested that option some time ago #16 ... they "fixed" it for a while, but it's showing up again.

Besides, I don't always want Discord open, so it would be nice to be able to hide this notification.

Restart discord

you can restart the extension in the vscode with already running discord, and it should work. just tried it right now and it works ;)

I have the same problem and all of the solutions didn't work

[xhayper]

Gosh, this issue came to haunt me everyday,

RPC_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT happeneds when:
A. Discord decided to stop respond to your request because you open too much RPC connection
B. You don't have discord open
C. IPC path is incorrect
D. Can't connect to IPC path

There's so many factor....

[xhayper]

I don't know how to tackle any of these problems at all

[jahirfiquitiva]

@xhayper maybe adding a setting/option to disable this notification is enough. that way we can easily decide whether to ignore it or not

[xhayper]

Good idea

[aquaslvt]

Any updates on this?

[xhayper]

Alright, re-visiting this old issue.

If you are on linux, and are using snap / flatpak version of vscode, please switch to the official version downloaded from the site itself.

If you are on windows, update the extension to the latest version

If you still get this bug, feels free to open a new issue

For the notification part, i will work on it tomorrow, sorry for not working on it
