[SOLVED] Discord crashes inmediately after start

When I start discord first it shows its 'checking for updates' message, then it turns white and then the actual program starts but it immediately closes.

Today in the morning it worked just fine, the only thing that comes to my mind that could be part of the problem is that I installed the linux-lts kernel but I'm not sure if this is an issue because I just installed it but to effectively change the kernel I need to tweak my grub config and I didn't do that yet (actually right now I'm on the latest linux kernel and not the lts).

According to the official website the last version is 0.0.12 and mine is 0.0.12-1 maybe that's the issue?

This is what I get when I try to start it from the terminal (xxxxxxx represents my username).

You're not the only one. Same issue here. Haven't been able to figure out a workaround yet.

Re: [SOLVED] Discord crashes inmediately after start

I was able to get discord working again by rolling back opera-ffmpeg-codecs

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/o/opera-ffmpeg-codecs/opera-ffmpeg-codecs-85.0.4183.102-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Thank you for pointing the culprit loqs.

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/o/opera-ffmpeg-codecs/opera-ffmpeg-codecs-85.0.4183.102-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Unfortunately this is the only "solution" for now. In my case I downgraded the package using the cache.

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/opera-ffmpeg-codecs-85.0.4183.102-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Re: [SOLVED] Discord crashes inmediately after start

Updating discord to 0.0.12-2 fix the problem, once you updated to 0.0.12-2 you can update opera-ffmpeg-codecs to the last version and discord will work just fine, I tested this on the last linux kernel and the lts one.
