Same here. Maybe a Python change caused this? Worked for me for several weeks until about a week ago, and I have had Arch distribute a few Python upgrades in that time, I think.

It successfully detects the game I'm playing, but fails shortly after within about 5 seconds. Never updates Discord in that time, so seems like it's an issue connecting to Discord?

i believe that your virtual environment breaks when your OS's python version got updated, you should be able to fix it by just deleting it and remaking it

rm -rf venv/
python3 -m venv venv/
./venv/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Thanks for the reply! TBH, this didn't work for me initially but I've since restarted my computer and it just... kinda... works now? Not sure. I had also tried to reinstall before your suggestion which I think includes the step you suggested. Not sure what actually changed but I will take it :)

seems fixed
