Discord Freezing when Games Launch

Having a weird issue that only started happening the past couple of days

I’ll be in a Discord call with the homies, everything’s working fine. I launch a game, still working fine, and then after a few minutes, discord just freezes completely. I can still hear the homies and vice versa, I still get notification sounds and stuff but when I try to click or do anything on Discord it’s totally frozen until I quit and relaunch it

Can’t really find anything online about this and not sure what kind of logs I should be looking at or what have you to try to solve it

Any help would be appreciated

Have you run a full system update? Some recent issues with Discord were raised here, but an update so far, seems to have resolved it in that case.

As @thefrog wisely suggested in that thread, try running Discord from the command line and see if it offers any useful output.

The other thing to consider, is Wayland. If you’re using it, try instead, logging in with an X11 session and see if the issue persists. If it doesn’t, we might investigate ways to address it as a Wayland issue.
