📚 FAQs

• Q: I'm getting [DISALLOWED_INTENTS] error, how do I fix this?

• A: Your bot must have all three Privileged Gateway Intents enabled.

• Q: The client is stuck on loading screen, how do I fix this?

• A: This happens because of mis-configured appdata. Clear the client appdata by deleting your %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\BotClient folder if you're on windows,~/.config/BotClient folder for linux or ~/Library/Application Support/BotClient for mac.

• Q: Is there a website version of this client?

• A: Nope, and there won't be one in the future, reasons being it's too much work and simply not worth it.
