FAQ

Where is xxx on the game list?

By default, the application comes with a list that I play often. There are two ways to add games on the list:

1. Open an issue and explain the game you want to be added.
2. Create your own Discord Application and edit the database file to your liking. (Recommended)

The selected game doesn't have an icon!

If you've added a game into the database file yourself, the default Discord Application ID doesn't have an icon asset for that. You will need to create your own Discord Application and upload your icon assets there.

"Update presence" is not working

Make sure the Discord Application ID is correct on the Settings. If unsure, you can try resetting the settings and restarting the application. Open an issue if the problem persists.

How to remove my presence?

Simply close the application.
