[Wayland] Every Electron app fails to start/crashes

Sorry for what will be a complete lack of useful information, but I'm at a loss.

I've been using Discord without issues for several months. I must have updated or uninstalled something, because now Discord won't open at all. I get this output when I try to run it:

Discord 0.0.15 The futex facility returned an unexpected error code.
    Failed to get crash dump id.
    Report Id: 9923ab45-703f-4b
    fish: Job 1, 'discord' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)

It doesn't matter which discord I use, they all crash with the I've tried:

• discord

• discord-canary

• discord_arch_electron

Out of curiosity I installed another electron app, Atom, and it crashes with a similar error:

/usr/bin/atom: line 86: 22994 Aborted (core dumped) nohup
    "$ATOM_PATH" --executed-from="$(pwd)" --pid=$$ "$@" >
    "$ATOM_HOME/nohup.out" 2>&1
    The futex facility returned an unexpected error code.

I've uninstalled everything related to electron, I've cleared my pacman and paru caches, I've rebooted several times, and I still have the same problem.

I can't find any other recent examples of people having similar issues, so I don't really know what to try next.

Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE: I make a little progress with:

discord --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --disable-gpu-memory-buffer-video-frames --enable-gpu20:33:02

It runs, shows the splash screen, then crashes again.

Re: [Wayland] Every Electron app fails to start/crashes

Not sure this helps but my understanding is Discord may be using an old version of Electron:
