Frequently Asked Questions

What version of Discord Messenger should I run

There are three builds of Discord Messenger available:

• MSVC Version: This version of DM is recommended for Windows 7 and newer. It will work on Windows XP SP2, SP3, and Vista as well, though. You may need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) package, of which a download is provided on the download page.
• MinGW Unicode Version: This version of DM is recommended for Windows NT 4.0 and later NT builds. This version will not run on Windows 9x because it does not implement the Unicode standard, and it isn't recommended for NT 3.x either.
• MinGW ANSI Version: This version of DM is recommended only on Windows 9x and Windows NT 3.x. Please do not use this version on Windows 2000 or later. If you decide to use this version anyway, do not wonder about the missing international character support.

I get a "0xC000001D" / Illegal operation error from LIBCRYPT.DLL or libcrypto-3.dll when running Discord Messenger!

You are getting this error because your CPU is too old. Discord Messenger currently requires a Pentium Pro or Pentium 2 CPU to run.

This will be fixed in a future build.

The MSVCP140.dll file is missing!

You are getting this error because you did not install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86). Make sure to have the x86 version installed, the x64 version will not make Discord Messenger work.

I get some error about the NtCreateFile API missing, and this error shouldn't appear because it's specific to the Lan Manager

This is a localization bug. In actuality it's most likely trying to tell you that MSVCP140.dll is missing, see the above question for a fix

This string appears because STATUS_OPEN_FAILED (0xC0000136) is exactly next to STATUS_DLL_NOT_FOUND (0xC0000135) which is the actual error reported, and the localizers made a mistake and accidentally swapped or shifted the actual error strings.

Where's your "Purplecord" thing? Also what is it

It's coming soon!

It is an attempt to write a Discord client for iOS 3 based on the research performed for Discord Messenger. Currently it is not even in a functionable state.

You are not logged in to Discord Messenger

Chances are high you pasted in the wrong token, included some additional quotation marks or spaces by accident, or mistyped it.

V1.09 WARNING: Some links (notably olx.ua / olx.pl) when pasted cause Discord Messenger to log you out even if the token is correct. You can paste in the same token you've been using and it will work. To remove this annoyance, if you are using the MinGW (ANSI) build of DM you can upgrade to the latest nightly.

What even is the difference between versions anyway?

The main difference is the compiler toolchain used to compile DM. The MSVC version was compiled with Visual Studio 2022, while the MinGW version was compiled with the MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows) toolchain.

The MinGW version has two sub-versions: Unicode and ANSI. The Unicode version comes with support for international characters (in the limit of your installed fonts), while the ANSI version only makes an attempt to convert UTF-8 to your current codepage and international characters are not shown.

The MSVC version does not require two separate versions because Unicode is supported on all versions of Windows that the MSVC version runs on.

I have a bug, fix it NOW or I... // My Discord account was compromised/banned because of your client and now I will...

Stop right there. I am developing this project in my free time, therefore I have no obligation to fix any of the bugs that this client has. I will most likely fix those bugs at some point, but only when I have time for this project. Keep in mind that I am juggling several other projects, as well as education and a job, so I don't always have time for this project!

You use this client at your own risk, therefore, do not blame me (iProgramInCpp) for any issues that appear with your account. You have full ownership of your account, so make the correct decision!
