[Bug] White screen on start, requires to relaunch Vesktop

[Kodarru]

Discord Account

kodarru

Operating System

Arch Linux

Linux Only ~ Desktop Environment

Hyprland on Wayland

Package Type

Flatpak

What happens when the bug or crash occurs?

The bug seems to only happen when starting Linux and opening Vesktop. As far as I know, it does not happen if Linux has been running for a bit. There will be no splash screen or anything. It would immediately open to a white screen.

And no, it's not because of the no internet icon. Internet is working completely fine. It's been a bug with my rice I need to fix.

What is the expected behaviour?

Should load normally and lead to the main Discord/Splash screen

How do you recreate this bug or crash?

1. Boot Arch Linux
2. Immediately open Vesktop

I really don't know how to give steps on how to recreate the bug

Request Agreement

• I have searched the existing issues and found no similar issue
• I am using the latest Vesktop and Vencord versions
• This issue occurs on an official release (not just the AUR or Nix packages)

[Kodarru]

A restart from the taskbar icon will fix the issue

[8Vinso8]

Using vesktop from AUR on Arch with Hyprland. Same issue. But disabling tray icon somehow fixes it
Edit: Nope, happened again

[aaprispeshkin]

Same issue here, happens while using all vesktop versions (flatpak, source, appimage and aur). Dev tools output same mistakes outlined here, however nothing seems to fix it. Running from the terminal results in these logs:

APPIMAGE env is not defined, current application is not an AppImage
checkForUpdatesAndNotify called, downloadPromise is null

this could be caused by your network settings being messed up, preventing the discord webpage from loading. I was having this issue and it turned out to be because my proxy settings were broken

[Kodarru]

My network settings were completely fine.

For me, this happens when trying to launch Vesktop without an internet connection.
Also, don't restart the entire process. A simple CTRL+R works too

Nope, unfortunately this still happens if I launch vesktop separately after my system has already booted and internet connection was established. CTRL+R also doesn't help, neither does "Restart" button in tray (if that matters at all, "Repair Vencord" button also doesn't help)

[xii69]

Same issue, Arch Linux with Hyprland, Vencord is just a white screen

[Kodarru]

If you're going to add onto this thread, please also try to post logs. Press CTRL+SHIFT+i on the white screen, then click console and take a screenshot of that. Thank you!

[aaprispeshkin]

Funnily enough, i went to double-check the logs to make sure the issue still persists, but this time they are different, no longer throwing the "Uncaught DOMException", as outlined in the original post on this issue. Anyway here they are, hope this helps somehow

I confirm the problem with Ubuntu 24.04 and Flatpack installation
