[SOLVED] Discord crashes on start up

First off, yes I know first-hand that the Discord client is terrible on Linux and barely works. I also know that Discord has their own technical support, however I've found that no one there really knows anything beyond solving basic problems, let alone issues on Linux (not the fault of the individuals working there, but annoying that Discord does not employ at least a handful of people more knowledgeable).

Rant over, onto the problem. Basically Discord will crash immediately on startup after getting to the "Checking for updates" stage of its startup. I've tried removing Discord and reinstalling it, but this issue still remains regardless. Running discord in the terminal shows the following output:

Discord 0.0.54
Starting app.
Starting updater.

Has anyone experienced an issue like this before? Or at least would someone know what might be causing an issue like this even if it cannot be fixed?

Re: [SOLVED] Discord crashes on start up

Did you configure it for hardware acceleration? Maybe try blowing away your discord local cache and seeing if it works.
