Recently I've observed that certain titles such as Peak, Phasmophobia and REMATCH cause my Discord to freeze or crash. It might also be related to my Vencord. I'm looking for confirmation—either a problem exists or my PC is simply aging. I've shared my specs: MOBO ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-H Gaming (BIOS Version 3001, dated 3/7/2025), CPU Intel Core i5-13600K, cooler Corsair H100i Elite Capellix, GPU EVGA GeForce RTX 3080ti, RAM Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) at 5600MHz, case Corsair 5000D Airflow, PSU Corsair RM1000x Windows 11 Pro. I can also supply any additional details if needed.

You're referring to the PC's performance slowing down over time. It seems like it's not very recent, possibly due to Discord problems. You might want to check if hardware encoding is enabled for Discord. Are you planning to watch videos or stream on Discord while using it?

It was actually the solution I expected. I had hardware acceleration enabled for Discord, but I disabled it now. Often when we played games together, everyone turned their cameras on and they would freeze or have problems. I’m planning to end up hitting my head into a wall because of this simple fix.
