Discord 'session.getPreloads' problem

When i running discord,I get an endless "Starting..." menu. I've been trying to solve this problem for a week now, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I decided to launch Discord through the terminal and got:

(electron) 'session.getPreloads' is deprecated and will be removed. Please use 'session.getPreloadScripts' instead.
(electron) 'session.setPreloads' is deprecated and will be removed. Please use 'session.registerPreloadScript' instead.
Starting app.
Starting updater.

Re: Discord 'session.getPreloads' problem

is discord installed through the repos or as a flatpak? try removing the cache and moving the config directory

advise against running gui applications as root, there is a big warning on this page:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Runnin … ns_as_root

also might be worth a try:
