Anyone use Discord?

[Captain Teague]

Heck, A Discord server is not a bad idea for if this site goes down...

But I digress. I am trying to show this game to a friend by streaming it on Discord. They can hear the game, but all they see is a black screen. Google is less than helpful for fixing this issue. Anybody here use Discord, and if so, any ideas?

This is something most people would rather advanced rapidly in the opposite direction rather than try to troubleshoot this for friends or family.
Technical ability sometimes means only able to enter a more precise
google search entry faster or to speedread a bit quicker.

Your ISP provided bandwidth may vary during time of day or day of the week, or if there is a big sports game on and not a lot you can do about it other than optimise locally as much as you can.

Tweak your firewall on the Discord Server to allow the streaming out.
Confim it is not blocking the discord app.

For the person viewing the Stream,
Most Personal routers should now allow auto PNP Port forwarding,
and as your are getting audio through this suggests more say a Discord Bug or incorrect display setting.

Anyway, ensure your Discord server meets the recommended rather than
the minimum specs.
Mimimum specs are typically wishful thinking written by marketting people.

Less is more is the guiding principle.
The less things running in the background the better the response.

If you simply want to demonstrate the game
youtube gameplay movie clips would be a far easier option,
or a game demo download if available.
A fraps or other screen recording software movie clip may also be easier.
Try a simpler application first as test rather than straight into a game.


a google search maybe helpful

a search on

Quote: some comments

It didn't work for me at first, but when I tried Ctrl + R while the developer console was open (after I disabled cache), it worked. Point being: the disable cache option only works while the developer console is open, the tool tip even says so when you hover over the option. But all in all, it worked, so thanks man.

It worked, but you gotta press Ctrl + R while the developer console is open after disabling cache
