Ошибка Fatal JavaScript error occurred Discord – что делать? Такое уведомление чаще всего появляется во время установки программы на компьютер, и связано оно с некорректной работой операционной системы. Но столкнуться с неприятным сообщением возможно даже во время общения в мессенджере. Все объясняется тем, что на ПК попросту отсутствуют или повреждены необходимые для корректного функционирования приложения файлы. И для того, чтобы успешно устранить сбой, требуется провести небольшую чистку и переустановить программу.
Что это за ошибка и почему возникает?
Как можно понять по названию, неполадка «Fatal JavaScript error occurred» Discord связана с языком программирования JS, на котором пишутся многие приложения. И подобное уведомление свидетельствует о том, что во время выполнения одного из сценариев произошла ошибка, повлиявшая на работу программы. Если вы столкнулись со сбоем во время установки, то это указывает на повреждение или отсутствие необходимых файлов. А если во время использования мессенджера – на системную неполадку.
Но это лишь одна из причин, почему в Discord появилась ошибка JavaScript (Fatal error occurred), поэтому не стоит сразу отбрасывать и другие варианты:
- несовместимость установленных на компьютере приложений (так называемый конфликт компонентов ПО);
- наличие старых файлов в проводнике ПК, препятствующих корректному функционированию новой версии Дискорда;
- действие вирусов, мешающих работе всей системе в целом;
- устаревшая версия Discord.
И, как показывает практика, самостоятельно установить причину ошибки Fatal JavaScript error occurred практически невозможно. Но в большинстве случаев все связано с повреждением файла discord_voice, отвечающего за звук. Что касается вариантов решения проблемы, то их немного, поэтому переходите к следующей части статьи-инструкции.
Как исправить ошибку JavaScript в Дискорд?
Уже давно разработан способ решения проблемы, когда при запуске Дискорда появляется ошибка Java. И его суть заключается в том, чтобы сначала завершить все процессы, а после очистить папки с программой. Для наглядности нами была составлена пошаговая инструкция, поэтому настоятельно рекомендуем обратить на нее внимание:
- Перезагружаем компьютер. Если неполадка Fatal JavaScript error occurred осталась, то переходим к следующему шагу.
- Открываем стандартный диспетчер задач Windows. Кто не знает, то сделать это получится с помощью горячих клавиш Ctrl+Shift+Esc. Заходим во вкладку «Процессы» и принудительно завершаем задачи, связанные с приложением Discord. Для этого ЛКМ кликаем по пункту с названием программы, а после выбираем «Снять задачу».
- Запускаем окошко «Выполнить», воспользовавшись клавишами Win+R.
- Сначала вводим команду %localappdata%, а после – %appdata%. Такое действие приведет к автоматическому открытию скрытых папок в проводнике.
- Вам нужно отыскать все директории, связанные с Дискордом, а потом удалить их.
- Закрываем приложение и перезагружаем компьютер.
- Выполняем полное удаление программы с ПК, воспользовавшись панелью управления.
В результате несложных действий в Дискорд ошибка JS (Fatal JavaScript error occurred) успешно исчезнет. Вам останется только переустановить мессенджер и убедиться, что неполадка полностью устранена. Если этого не произошло, то значит причину нужно искать в самой операционной системе. Например, выполнив проверку на вирусы. Также убедитесь, что у вас загружена последняя версия Discord.
Таким образом, мы подробно рассмотрели, что делать, если Дискорд не запускается и появляется уведомление Fatal JavaScript error occurred. Вам потребуется всего лишь очистить скрытые папки от файлов, а после переустановить приложение. Остались дополнительные вопросы по теме материала? Тогда смело задавайте их в комментариях под статьей!
