About Discord Compatibility

[the key of C# minor]

So I've attempted to stream this game to discord friends multiple times and on every attempt the game goes to a black screen before crashing completely. I realize this might not be a bug but a compatibility issue (the game runs fine w/o it), hence why im here instead of the bug thread.

I've had task manager show me both discord and y6 at the same time: no big memory spikes or leaks. I've got the game set close to max settings and have tried everything from disabling windows game mode + the firewall to starting y6 in admin mode, and i simply cannot convince the programs to get along

also if this matters i was able to run kiwami 2 + stream to friends just fine back this january... i dont know if this is a "qloc/dragon engine" specific issue

tl;dr: game runs just fine w/o Discord, but the moment i even start with it in the bg or alt tab to run it then everything just collapses. If there's any way or solution ppl have figured out I'd love feedback

You can try this:
Open Discord and go into settings, then open "Voice & Video", scroll down and find "Screen Share". There will be "Use our latest technology to capture your screen". Disable/enable that.

I disabled it, and it fixed my issue with Yakuza 0 crashing when alt+tabbing, so I imagine it can help you as well.

i did try this toggle, but what eventually ended up working is downloading Discord Canary and disabling the in-game overlay. getting rid of the overlay feels like the first thing i shouldve lol, this also might work in the Stable release but i haven't confirmed it yet
