Perhaps this is due to a change in the storage location of the settings.
Can you also attach a file that is located at %LocalAppData%/VisualStudioDiscordRPC/settings.json?
I would like to make sure that everything is fine with the settings.

[Zagrthos]

I attach mine too, thanks for the extension btw 🙂
settings.json

Edit:
Interesting, it says version 1.5.1 though I downloaded the newest from the extension store inside VS...

[Reavert]

@Zagrthos I found the reason of your error.
To fix that, replace:
"StatePlug": "NoneAssetPlug",
to:
"StatePlug": "NoneTextPlug",

[Reavert]

But it seems to me that @1nade has another problem.
I'm still figuring out your problem, but if this fix or upgrade to 1.6.1 helps you too, please let me know.

[Zagrthos]

Installing the new update solved it, thanks!

[Reavert]

@1nade Is your error still actual after the installing 1.6.1 extension patch?

[carrved]

yeah, same error and everything

[Reavert]

Attach, please, your settings file (%LocalAppData%/VisualStudioDiscordRPC/settings.json)

I'm having the same problem, here is my settings.json:

{
  "RichPresenceEnabled": true,
  "Language": "English",
  "LargeIconPlug": "ExtensionIconPlug",
  "SmallIconPlug": "VisualStudioVersionIconPlug",
  "DetailsPlug": "FileNameTextPlug",
  "StatePlug": "SolutionNameTextPlug",
  "TimerPlug": "FileScopeTimerPlug",
  "FirstButtonPlug": "GitRepositoryButtonPlug",
  "SecondButtonPlug": "NoneTextPlug",
  "ApplicationID": "914622396630175855",
  "UpdateTimeout": 1000,
  "Version": "1.0.0",
  "UpdateNotifications": true,
  "TranslationsPath": "Translations/"
}

[Kaffu093]

So, the extension was updated recently and looks that the error was resolved, thank you!

[carrved]

Attach, please, your settings file (%LocalAppData%/VisualStudioDiscordRPC/settings.json)

here you go:
settings.json

[Reavert]

Strange. The file is filled with Null only.
Then I will add processing soon, in case the settings file gets corrupted.

Is this the first time you installed an extension? Or did you have it installed before and you used it, and then updated and everything broke?
