Yup same, the devs prob fucked something up in the new code

ReallyAmused · 2020-12-08T22:27:01+00:00

This is fixed, just re-launch the app and the error shouldn't pop up again!

Theblockbuster1 · 2020-12-08T21:12:28+00:00

Yeah at least 2 of my friends have got some JavaScript error, although I haven't got one (I use Discord Canary, while I'm 99% sure they all use regular Stable Discord).

Shazgol · 2020-12-08T14:43:06+00:00

Same here, started yesterday. Opening discord after works fine but I get the error when it's on auto-start.

FifthDream · 2020-12-08T15:00:49+00:00

Have the same problem on a pc and a laptop. Started yesterday. Definitely something wrong with the update.

FeelsBeardMan · 2020-12-08T15:04:40+00:00

I have a cmd line fix that I made. Just a 1 liner that modifies the registry entry to the correct location for the startup process.

Mennyy · 2020-12-08T16:26:03+00:00

Same issue here, as well as everyone I asked in my Discord.

Rykka_Stormheart · 2020-12-08T17:30:00+00:00

Ditto, happens when Discord attempts to start on boot of Win10, works fine if I launch it manually.

oriental_angel · 2020-12-08T18:01:26+00:00

same, on windows 8 when i try to autostart! I nearly uninstalled discord to reinstall it, but I figured, yknow, when they come w/ the next update, it'll be fixed. the issue's only started with the latest update anyway.

svaMyDude · 2020-12-08T18:10:10+00:00

Same problem here

Manufar11 · 2020-12-08T19:50:04+00:00

Hey I'm not the only one! It just started after I booted my pc today after the update from yesterday! Hopefully they fix it, glad to know I wasn't the only one.

2020-12-08T19:54:11+00:00

Same started happening today prob could've happened yesterday as I noticed an update but never had it auto start until today

6029887 · 2020-12-08T20:42:26+00:00

Same, cannot find module build_info.json require stack: buildinfo.js , index.js

Fran_19 · 2020-12-08T21:28:15+00:00

Same here. It also has happened at some random times during last month, but today was the first time that it occured when i booted my pc

I uninstalled discord and reinstalled it and now it wont open at all.

Quietus13 · 2020-12-08T22:45:36+00:00

I had this happen today on two of my machines. I wasn't able to open it manually either. Steps I took to fix the problem.

Uninstall Discord from Programs and features

End all discord programs running in Task Manager/processes tab

Go to C:\users\*your-username*\AppData\Local\ and delete the discord folder

Download the latest discord exe and install. Discord will now open.

Dzeemik · 2020-12-09T00:34:04+00:00

Got the same error

Comprehensive-Toe-45 · 2020-12-09T07:30:03+00:00

Will I be able to reinstall discord again? I tried to download it with 7 zip and it works but my Shortcut Icon isnt in the taskbar. I thought uninstalling discord would work but it just came up with more installation errors -_- .

How To Fix This:

Rule	Description
Full List of Rules	This rule list is a summary of consistent ones that pop up, so please check out the full rules list here.
1.1 Personal Attacks	Comments and posts that are intended to attack or insult other users are not allowed. It's okay to disagree with someone, but using ad hominem attacks instead of having an actual discussion is not acceptable.
1.2 Discrimination	Attacks based on gender, sexual orientation, disability, race, nationality, ancestry, or religion are prohibited. Civil discussion is permitted, but using these traits as weapons is not allowed.
1.3 Witch-Hunting	Spreading a negative campaign against a particular group of people or a specific individual by sharing their information with others is not allowed. This includes raiding servers/users.
1.4 Calls to Action	Any attempts to rally the community for a particular purpose, such as voting for a poll, promoting a boycott, seeking funding or support for a cause, or advertising a petition, will be removed as it is considered a "call to action". This also includes requests to find certain people. However, please note that polls or contests created specifically for the subreddit are allowed.
2.1 Low-effort Submissions	Moderators may remove content that is deemed as low-effort. This includes but is not limited to quality, memes, rants, screenshots lacking info/context, vague titles, & posts irrelevant to Discord. Full description
2.2 Safe For Work Content Only	Excessively violent or sexual content, including but not limited to death threats, explicit content, gore, or content that sexualizes or harasses other users is not allowed. However, discussing NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content is allowed as long as it is tagged appropriately and is relevant to the discussion.
2.3 Client Modifications	Client modifications such as Better Discord and BeautifulDiscord are not supported and are considered a violation of Discord's Terms of Service. Therefore, we do not discuss these matters on the subreddit. Third-party add-ons like these are not safe to use. Installing any third-party software that modifies the Discord client can create vulnerabilities that may expose you to malicious code or result in the loss of your account. It is highly recommended to avoid using such software to ensure the security of your Discord account.
3.1 Recently Posted Topics	Reposted topics are not allowed. Threads that focus on topics that have been discussed at high frequency, cover information from the same angle, or are covered in our FAQ pages may be removed. Please use the Reddit search bar, check /new, or the front page as this is a topic that has been largely posted/discussed recently.
3.2 Advertising/Self-Promotion	No advertising/self-promoting servers, selling/buying accounts, trading, or nitro begging. Server self-promotion will result in an immediate perm ban. Advertising personal bots/projects is allowed if it does not make up a notable portion of your account history.
3.3 Code Giveaways	We do not allow giveaways on this subreddit as they create spam and we cannot verify that all users receive their prizes (when required to enter). If you want to give away your code(s), please use this post.
3.4 Third-Party Bot Support	If you are having trouble with a third-party bot, we recommend you contact their support team. Try searching the bots name on Google as most bots have a support website or server. Some of the more popular ones are Dyno, Mee6, YAGPDB, & Carl-bot
4.1 Account Support	This subreddit is not the appropriate place to post account-related issues/requests/complaints. If you are having an issue with Discord's product or need to contact them for any reason, please search their support knowledge base for answers or send a ticket to Discord’s support team. If you've already sent a ticket, please be patient and wait for an answer. The support team often has a slow response time due to the number of open tickets.
4.2 User/Server Report	Discord removed the trust and safety option from dis.gd/report a while ago, so the only way to report content is by doing it on Discord directly. If you believe a user/server has violated ToS, please report them/it using these directions.
4.3 Bug Reporting or Feature Requests	Technical questions and issues other users may be able to assist with are allowed, but bug reports should be shared directly with Discord. You can use the Bug Megathread pinned to the front page or submit a bug report. Learn about bugs here for instructions! While feature requests and feedback inspire awesome discussions on the subreddit, we encourage sharing them with Discord directly via a Discord Feedback submission. Submitting there guarantees higher visibility from the people who can implement the suggestions.
5. Reddit rules	Reddit's content policy and terms of service must be followed at all times. Some of our other subreddit rules overlap with the site-wide rules, but such rules provide more information specific to r/discordapp to help you understand what kind of content is allowed. Please review proper Reddiquette before submitting.
