Bug description

I'm getting the following error when installing:

This is a fresh Windows 11 installation, so I might be missing some dependencies, even low-level ones. I remember everything was working fine before re-installing Windows, which is basically the only reason why I think I might be missing something.

Additional context

No response

A temporary fix that I found is to delete the windowState file, located at %AppData%/WebCord/ in Windows.

This is also happening to me, but I'm using Kubuntu Kinetic.
This happened after I've enable "Developer Mode" for bot developing on "Advanced" options in my Discord account, but I don't know if this have any relation with the problem.

I've just installed it on Kali Linux on VM, and it's working normal there.
Installed both with .deb package, but also tried to install AppImage, and it has the same problem.

Why is this refering for Windows file paths?

Why is this refering for Windows file paths?

WinStateKeeper is a class name in program, this is a stack that points where it happens in code (file:line:character).

Btw, it stopped working after some hours in my VM also, with the same error.

I'm having the same issue on Fedora 38 Workstation.

I'm having the same issue on Droidian, a mobile Linux OS, with Webcord installed as a flatpak. Any idea where are the configuration files for Webcord, see if deleting them helps as @K0vah1911 reported above? I couldn't find anything in ~/.config/ or ~/.local/share/, I suspect those are not the configuration directories for flatpaks?

[Edit] Found it in ~/.var/app/io.github.spacingbat3.webcord/config/WebCord. Deleting windowState did help indeed. Not sure how long it will last.

Same issue on Arch Linux, both in the webcord and webcord-bin packages (config files not purged in-between testing both packages, which may explain why the issue persisted on an otherwise fresh install of webcord). Deleting windowState in ~/.config/WebCord seems to have resolved the problem for now.

Worth noting that I was not having this issue prior to updating today.

Just had this issue when trying to open webcord - deleting ~/.config/WebCord/windowState fixed the issue temporarily. I'm on openSUSE Tumbleweed if that's relevant.

I should be saying, Flatpak builds are not supported by me at all ocommunity maintains them, so don't expect from me fixing any bugs specific to them) and spamming that this issue still happens, especially in case of the Flatpaks, is not helpful at all.

Sorry about that! kinda weird on the maintainer to link to this github page to report issues but I guess I should've read the description.

Also, I think I wanted to work on this at some point, but given Electron developers were planning to implement a special API to preserve window bounds, I stopped working on this and waited once this will be resolved. Honestly right now I'm not sure if it's been already implemented or will be implemented at all, I guess I need to either search for that in API docs or Electron's bug tracker to find out how that ended.

This fixed it for me. Thank you, I just had to delete .config/webcord just like you said. Though, I fixed this on my own and came to this issue to post my solution. Should've read this post first but thanks anyways.

Confirming this works. I've basically changed from GNOME to KDE Plasma in Arch Linux and It seems the only problem in WebCord because I've moved was that file (why?)

(The file was ~/.config/WebCord/windowState)
