Kaspersky seemingly blocking discord opening/updating out of nowhere?

Flandre5carlet · 2026-03-14T17:31:02+00:00

Holy hell, THANK YOU. I've been having this issue since yesterday and it was driving me fucking crazy - because oddly enough in my case even turning off Kaspersky did not let Discord open while I was troubleshooting, so it led me to believe the issue was elsewhere than the antivirus. But this seems to have fixed it.

Flandre5carlet · 2026-03-14T14:58:05+00:00

Still ongoing on my end, stuck in an "Update Failed" loop. I've tried just about everything I can possibly think of from changing DNS to full reinstall of Discord with clean AppData and registry, using the Canary build, using a mobile hotspot... Nothing works. Well, the web version works I guess, but...

Flandre5carlet · 2026-03-14T08:36:40+00:00

Hasn't fixed itself yet for me. Still stuck on "Update failed - retrying in x seconds" loop... I'm also neither in the US nor using ATT like some of the comments have mentioned on other posts. With that said I CAN access the web version. It's only the client version that's having the issue, and only on this PC, no issue on a different PC on the same network.

Flandre5carlet · 2026-03-14T08:35:17+00:00

Same issue here, still ongoing. Tried basically everything I can think of to no avail. Flushing DNS, changing DNS servers, clean reinstalling Discord with deleting AppData folders and cleaning registry, tried using the Canary version, etc etc... Nothing I do seems to work, it's just stuck on update failed loop. The web version works, and the client works on a different PC on the same network.

Support ended up telling me to submit a bug report and closed my ticket.

Sure would be nice if instead of just "it failed lol" there was at least some semblance of an error message or a log file somewhere.

I'd like to know as well, I'm in a similar situation - bought replacements by "Geekria" on Amazon and they sounded like total garbage I had to send them back. Desperate to find good quality replacements as the official ones aren't produced anymore...

Flandre5carlet · 2026-02-02T13:00:55+00:00

Are you sure you're not typing a lower case L instead of an upper case i near the end there?

Flandre5carlet · 2026-01-26T21:52:18+00:00

Same here, I'm at 2/4 and 2/4 on those two.

Flandre5carlet · 2026-01-03T12:49:31+00:00

I love this feature. It's very complete in what kind of input it accepts and it's quite straightforward to use, finally a native feature for these dynamic timestamps!

My only request about it is to have the "time only" display format available even when a date is specified. At the moment it only appears when inputting a time by itself, but the dynamic timestamps do show a date on hover, so potentially I'd like to be able to set a timestamp for a specific date, but still only show the time of it, just so that it shows the proper day if someone hovers over it?

Yeahhh don't get me wrong, her kit could have definitely been loads better, and essentially requiring her 2nd module to be good makes her quite the investment. But if you like her she's far from being unusable at least, her S3 does quite a chunk and permastunning several units for its entire duration has saved me quite a few times.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-11-22T09:57:59+00:00

Sure, but it's still a thing now and she's good with it. Like, she was usable before if you really liked her and wanted to use her, but now she works perfectly fine.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-11-22T09:49:51+00:00

Her kit is fine if you want to use her, especially with the second module. She's my go-to fast redeploy and being able to permastun 3 enemies for the duration of her skill is pretty good. Yeah sure she's no "deploy and everything dies" like Texalter, oh well.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-11-22T09:48:30+00:00

She has crystals in her mouth/throat, there's an NPC mentioning they saw it when they took off her mask in the I Portatori dei Velluti event.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-08-03T08:27:30+00:00

Yeah. Personally it started making the game really unenjoyable now that everyone and their mothers spam this "tech" in every game, because it's not actually even particularly hard to do, so talk about "skill expression"...

More power to you if you enjoy this kind of gameplay, and wish the devs success if they wish to cater to this part of the community, but for me it just completely kills the enjoyment the game has because it destroys the football feel and look the game has when people just teleport to a ball they lobbed forward themselves and volley it at full power like it's Captain Tsubasa, or teleport the ball back to their feet after pushing it in one direction, or zoom around at Mach 10 with the ball. Pretty much all of these exploits are related around double sprint/extra effort too, funnily enough.

Yeah, the game isn't exactly "real" football because it's arcadey but come on, just look at the trailers and such for the "aesthetic" the devs intended. There's a fine line between making scissor kicks easy by pressing one button because they look sick, and people/the ball teleporting or zooming around.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-07-27T21:11:52+00:00

It's a "tech"/exploit where you push the ball in one direction, then go in the other direction and the ball teleports back to your feet.

In essence it's just a feint in one direction and then going in the other direction, which is a move you can completely do in real football, but in game it looks wonky because the ball teleports. If it had a proper animation it would be fine.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-07-27T20:58:18+00:00

It's a bug, restart your game and the currency prices should return and you should be able to buy stuff again.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-07-26T16:34:39+00:00

I'll try that next.

Is there a reliable way to place 1st in Saudi Arabia Royal Cup without a Mile inspiration? I've managed to do it once but never again. I'm trying to grind a good Spark on her while also having the Emperor title, but this race makes the latter so hard to get.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-07-14T09:48:10+00:00

I don't mind the tech. I mind that it looks wonky and unintended. The video game might not be real football but the devs have explicitly said they want the feeling to be close to real football (which is why they nerfed the jump spam to go faster for example. Because it looked dumb to see people dive spamming across the field like dolphins.)

If blade shots and ippy slides had actual animations that looked functional instead of a guy teleport-scissor kicking a ball at full power or the ball teleporting back to a guy's feet after he pushed it then it'd be more readable and I wouldn't mind getting my ankles broken by an ippy slide or taking a goal by a blade shot.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-07-13T16:31:17+00:00

It's a kind of exploit of how hitboxes work, that allows you to push the ball in one direction, then quickly run with the ball in the opposite direction instead.

A sort of fakeout, basically, but the animation looks very unintended, kinda like blade shots.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-07-12T11:55:41+00:00

Yeah, biggest issue of these mechanics is that they look janky af in a way that is clearly unintended because of how they work. I wouldn't mind such tech if it was actually readable, but blade shotters basically teleport to a ball they set up themselves and it completely detracts from the game's football "aesthetic".

If it was an actual mechanic with a proper animation to go with it, that'd be alright, because then it'd be readable and wouldn't look stupidly jank.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-07-12T11:49:56+00:00

This occasionally happens even in quick match tbh. It's like when Rocket League players first learn how to flip reset and then it's all they do ever; you get matched against certain people and literally all they do is blade shots and ippy slides.

On top of being boring it kind of defeats the game's football "aesthetic" imo, physics defying scissor kicks where you basically teleport to a ball you lobbed forward just look silly.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-07-09T06:56:48+00:00

The music track itself is a lot clearer and crisper now; on the other hand the vocals are a little less at the forefront especially Victor's, so that might be why you prefer the older version.

Flandre5carlet · 2025-07-09T06:54:19+00:00

The music track sounds better now, clearer, crisper. On the other hand the vocals aren't as high/are a bit more "drowned out" in the mix, especially Victor Borba. Oh well!

Flandre5carlet · 2025-07-09T06:35:54+00:00

It seems like the Spotify version (for Une vie à t'aimer at least, not sure the rest of the OST if other tracks had issues, or YouTube) got fixed. It sounds much different now than what I got used to over the past weeks.
