Strange thing is it does not seem to affect other programs and while in the voice-chat i can hear everyone perfectly clear no matter how unresponsive my discord-app gets. Sometimes it starts climbing really high after minutes, sometime it takes hours to even get unresponsive. Discord does not seem to use all of my CPU-cores but uses one core up to 100(!)% starting discord its arround 10%, the longer the voice-chat is running the higher the cpu-usage climbs.

It starts with the chat getting very unresponsive and laggy but it does not stop at 40% CPU-usage for me. I only have the CPU-Problem in a voice-chat. If that still doesn't help, can you try these pre-release versions of the desktop client instead?Īlso, to help me isolate the issue, are you in a fairly active server with lots of images and/or constant chats being sent? Does this also happen when using voice chat, or even when not connected to voice? If it's already on, or turning it on doesn't help, can you try a clean reinstall of the app by following the steps found in this article: Make sure to close all Discord processes via Task Manager and double-check those AppData folders shown in the article, as well as turn off your antivirus and firewalls before reinstalling. Thanks for reaching out! The app shouldn't be using that much CPU for extended periods, though.įor starters, can you head into your User Settings > Appearance page and make sure that Hardware Acceleration is turned on?
