8.8.2018 — Change Log

Our blog has moved to our main website! Check us out on discord.com/blog to stay in the loop about future posts.

LAY IT ON ME

• The Discord Overlay now has Text Chat! Continue chatting in servers and DMs without an alt-tab.
• Receive text notifications within game as well with this overlay so you can continue to watch your friends talk about something stupid while playing.
• Send and accept rich presence game invites directly from the overlay. How many times will overlay be written here?
• A lot, because overlay stability is now over 95% up from 75%. If you have historically had issues with the overlay not loading, please try again. We’re changing history here.
• Overlay bugs? More like overlay bugs are fixed, including stuck cursors, alt-tab failing to re-render the overlay, and the pink screen of death. Pink for pain!
• Ever been flanked or ganked, yelling and screaming, only to realize you were muted? The overlay now shows mute and deafen icons so you can not do that.
• Priority Speaker icons are also supported so you know who to say “Yes M’lord” too.
• Only care about text chat? You can hide the overlay voice component completely.
• Full call support in the overlay. You can initiate calls, view calls that are ongoing, and join calls from the overlay late night when you need my love.
• Overlay is written 15 times here (including the one starting this sentence)!
• We implemented some code splitting to reduce required load and keep Discord lean and fast while we add features. Read more about this here.
• Priority Speaker is now a thing! Exert dominance over your friends through software! Check out how to set that up here. You asked for this!
• We launched servers in South Africa! Enjoy some locally sourced ping.
• Our updated dev portal is live! New design, new features, and it’s mobile friendly. View it here
• Screen share has less issues. Yay!
