3 months ago This seems to be a bug in https://github.com/discord/discord-rpc which is not maintained anymore. There are forks of it with newer commits but I am not sure if any of them fix this specific issue.
Officially Discord wants everyone to move to GameSDK and we looked into that years ago but imho it's just no-go. It is closed source and hosted on discords server and we really don't want our build system to depend on yet another external server. Plus GameSDK forces dynamic linking while on Windows we exclusively use static linking. It's also bloated way beyond our needs, for example it comes with a full voice chat stack and we really only care about rich presence.
We'll have to look if there are any other RPC libraries or it may be even feasible to just handle the presence requests ourselves since their API is simple enough. Or alternatively we fork discord-rpc and fix this bug but it is a pretty aged library and more issues will keep popping up.

Current Behavior
Running Cemu creates a
~/.local/share/applications/discord.desktopfile.Expected Behavior
It should use
$XDG_DATA_HOME/applicationsinstead, the current behavior violates the XDG Base Dir specification, as it is using a hardcoded path to place that file.Cemu already correctly follows the specification for other stuff like its own config directory as well.
Steps to Reproduce
Simply define
XDG_DATA_HOMEto anything other than the default~/.local/share, run Cemu, it will place files in~/.local/shareinstead ofXDG_DATA_HOMESystem Info (Optional)
