After you logged in with your Discord account you are able to create a new application. For that click on “New Application”

Adding the Discord SDK files

To comply with DiscordSDK’s terms of service I cannot include the files for it.

Fast Way

Instantly download the file you need here: Download

Slow Way

1. Download the file you need yourself here https://discord.com/developers/docs/developer-tools/game-sdk

2. You need to download v2.5.6.

3. After you download this .zip file you need to unpack it and go to “discord_game_sdk/lib/x86_64”. In here you need to find “discord_Game_sdk.dll”.

After you got the needed .dll file:

• Copy the file to the Win64 binaries folder which is located under “PATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT/Binaries/Win64/”.

• You also need to add it every time you package your project under “PATH_TO_YOUR_PROJECT/YOU_PROJECT_NAME/Binaries/Win64/”

7

Restart the engine

8

That’s it. You are all set to use the Discord SDK functions.

Make sure to call the Initialize Discord node at the beginning of your game. Then you can use all the other functions out of the Core, Activity, User & Overlay categories.
