[HandsomeMadMario]

same, seems to just be a mac problem. guess we'll just have to wait and see if it'll get fixed sooner or later. inb4 discord fucked with the API for the 17th time this attosecond.

same

[xinyiiii]

When I click "reinstall" it just won't work

[Izanagis]

Same here, MacOSX 10.13.6 (High Sierra), Intel i7-2600S @ 2.80Ghz (4 Core 8 Thread), AMD Radeon HD 6770M. I've pointed to the direct path to the Discord.app file (~/Applications/Discord.app/), doesn't fix it either. A thing i find interesting is the focused application info in the top left shows "Discord" as the BD Installers name. Before this error, it showed "BandagedBD" (Discord wasn't open at the time btw).

Same, I'm also experiencing the same difficulties. Is there any way to fix it and enjoy discord with a nice and cool background again?

I'm not using the PTB, The installer gives no details or info on what is happening either.

[halian]

Am having the same issue on Mac OS 11.2.1 “Big Sur”. Redownloading the installer does not cause a change in behavior.

[KushinaAtori]

Did you delete the trace files it leaves behind when you install Discord. Similar to this?

Edit: You must also uninstall it using BDD installer.

This is a mac issue here, i've deleted the trace files in Application Support, still has the same issue. I don't think windows tips are going to help here man. It's a issue with the mac BD installer. The main issue here is the BD installer not working on macos. You can't uninstall anything with it, it is unable to do anything. Maybe stay out if you're going to show tips for windows users.

I think you need to chill out. You're tweaking over a discord modifier. 😂 Just wait until someone like the developer for this to fix it.

[SamHep0803]

having the same issue, any updates on this?

[PythonCoderAS]

@SamHep0803 a fix has been linked here: https://github.com/rauenzi/BetterDiscordApp/issues/600#issuecomment-807927487.

I recommend deleting /Applications/Discord.app completely and re-downloading Discord.

I've tried installing it manually and no luck either, bbd doesnt load when i launch discord.
