Discord: Deadlock requires manual addition to "Registered Games" to stream as game

[Lulz]

Some time around the new year Discord stopped recognizing Deadlock as a game for streaming. In order to stream Deadlock as a game it needs to be re-added to "Registered Games" each time the executable is launched.

Seems to be no change to this with the 02-25-2025 Update

Just a friendly reminder that this is still an issue

Perhaps now that we have moved from project8.exe to deadlock.exe a permanent solution is due?

Either the Discord SDK integration needs updating and/or you need to reach out to dev support if Discord originally added the game to their database on their end.

Still an issue

Can confirm. Looking at the data that Discord has about Deadlock, it seems like this was caused by them renaming the executable, as discord still looks for "win64/project8.exe":

{
"aliases": [],
"executables": [
{
"is_launcher": false,
"name": "win64/project8.exe",
"os": "win32"
}
],
"hook": true,
"id": "1276737795012165766",
"name": "Deadlock",
"overlay": false,
"overlay_compatibility_hook": false,
"overlay_methods": null,
"overlay_warn": false,
"themes": [
"Action"
]
}

Not related to Discord SDK. I suspect that the Deadlock devs haven't even claimed the game's discord application, in which case this could be resolved by just anyone contacting discord support to inform them about this and update the data.
