Bug description

Today all of a sudden I got messages failed to load in all channels, despite having a working internet connection. I relaunched the application, and this page welcomed me: I get the same page every time I relaunch WebCord. Seems like Discord did something to their cloudflare protection that blocks webcord (and possibly other 3rdparty clients too)

Additional context

No response

After a full system reboot WebCord is working again. I experienced other issues, eg. with my email client, so it may have been some underlying issue in my OS.

Should I close the issue?

I just got the same issue right now, and I just booted my system. Probably no OS related i suppose

Just confirming the same issue is occurring with Webcord 4.4.0 & Fedora 38 KDE. I suspected that it may be related to using a VPN but the issue occurs whether it's active or not.

The official Discord Flatpak works, with or without the VPN.

And it's dead again. From firefox it works just fine.

I've experienced this quite recently, it's because WebCord blocks Cloudflare fingerprinting. This wasn't the issue before and isn't the issue in most cases (i.e. it'll probably be fine to re-enable fingerprinting blocking after passing Cloudflare tests), so I'll probably won't remove this from my client.

This issue is being reported for the official discord app as well, seems to have nothing to do with webcord itself

[SpacingBat3]

@DarthSpot Oh, I've also noticed that the error you get is a bit different, so there could be a different cause… I suppose trying to disable fingerprinting won't hurt though, WebCord indentifies to Cloudflare a bit differently than Discord, I think Discord might include their own client version to user agent and definitely sends different client info to Discord WebSocket server (gateway), so it isn't indentified as just regular browser.

Yes, web version is broken now. Seems to be a slow process to get there. I don't think the disabling of fingerprinting resistance won't help here either.

I had this same issue since this morning. Full reboot did not help. I removed WebCord, deleted ~/.config/WebCord, then re-installed and now it works.

Seems to be working again (without having done anything).

This can be closed. Cloudflare issue https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

Which has since been resolved.
