I’m experiencing issues with starting any bots, and I keep encountering the following error message:
Discord.Net.WebSocketException: ‘Encountered close code 4012: The requested gateway version is unsupported or invalid’
Could this be due to the requirement of upgrading to version 1.0 or higher? How can I determine if the version is causing the problem, and is updating my only available solution?
yo ethan, this might be related to the Discord lib u r using. Check ur library version is up to date with discord.net updates. Also, sometimes clearing cache and resetting the bot token can help. Don’t forget to look at any breaking changes from the recent Discord API changelog!
From my experience, the error you’re encountering often occurs when the current version of your Discord library isn’t compatible with the latest Discord API changes. To determine if the version is the problem, check the library documentation or release notes for compatibility with the gateway version required by Discord. While updating the library could indeed resolve the issue, ensure your code is compatible with the newest version to avoid further complications. Sometimes, updating can implicate reconfiguring parts of your code.
