The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

Sounds juicy, want story.

I know on their subreddit, the mods their will delete anything that's even remotely negative about them, that should tell you something about them.

Out of frustration and not really wanting to install Discord, I decided to try the Riot.im program by the same group (https://portapps.io/app/riot-portable/) ... that one also seems to be having problems:

I just tested with Win10 x64 and Win7 x64 both Discord and Riot.im work fine for me. Even tried using classic windows theme to see if that had anything to do with it. Its either the apps themselves have incompatibilities with Win7 x86, the launcher not being compatible, or some network configuration issue on your end? Maybe Antivirus or Firewall interfering with something.

Have you tried non-portable install if i works?

Could maybe submit issues here https://github.com/portapps/discord-portable and https://github.com/portapps/riot-portable

Discord and Riot.im can be used in a web browser or smartphone app. There's alternatives there.

Hmm. I have seen someone else getting Discord (installed version, not portable) stuck in the updater screen as well only few weeks ago. Maybe it's related?

I've resolved my Discord issue -- the problem was on my side with an overly active HOSTS setup.

lol ... unknown. I was able to login via the web interface ok and make some progress, I'll retry the client install in the days ahead.
