Streaming with Discord Solution

[Ross]

I've received a few reports from players that Abalon is crashing when attempting to stream via Discord. While this problem does not occur for all users, we discovered after some investigation with an affected player that the crashes stopped happening once they disabled a setting called "Use our advanced technology to capture your screen". Special thanks to Sandling for helping for us test and debug this issue :)

In case this solution doesn't work, here's a list of additional solutions that are known to help remedy game crashes in Discord:

1. Update Device Drivers
   
2. Disable Hardware Acceleration
   
3. Empty Discord Cache / Remove Discord App Data
   
4. Disable “Use our advanced technology to capture your screen”
   
5. Close Rivaturner Statistics/MSI Afterburn
   
6. Disable “Use an experimental method to capture audio from applications”
   
7. Update to the Latest Version of Discord
   
8. Reinstall Discord
   
9. Turn on Legacy Mode
   
10. Turn Off Compatibility Mode

Important Note: Today on macncheesep1z 's stream we also learned that simply having the Discord client open with this option enabled (even if you aren't trying to stream with Discord) can also cause the game to crash.

I'll continue investigating and see if I can determine if there's anything we can do on our end to prevent this conflict. In the meantime, the solution provided above should allow you to play the game using Discord without crashing.
