Bug description

Recently webcord crashed mid use (while I was in a call, looking at someone stream) and ever since it hasn't worked. It crashes on startup with the following dump:

/usr/lib/electron29/electron[5630]: ../../third_party/electron_node/src/node_builtins.cc:328:MaybeLocal node::builtins::BuiltinLoader::LookupAndCompileInternal(Local, const char *, std::vector<Local> *, Realm *): Assertion `(this) == (optional_realm->env()->builtin_loader())' failed.

zsh: IOT instruction (core dumped) webcord

Reinstalling doesn't resolve the issue; neither does reinstalling electron29. Trying to run electron29 itself causes the same issue, though presumably webcord is at fault since it crashing caused this. Neither of the two has had an update between it functioning and it not.

Additional context

My system uses:

• Manjaro linux KDE 6.6.19-1
• Window system X11
• KDE Plasma 5.27.10

Webcord was, I believe, running on a Nvidia RTX 4060 laptop. I also have a 7840HS iGPU.

I've found the only thing that fixes it is clearing out the cache for the app in your user directory. Buuuuuut that's only temporary, because after you open it back up, sign back in, then close it again, you come across the same issue.
