And there’s one particular Discord error that you should know about. It’s called the Awaiting Endpoint Error, where you try to connect to a server or call only to be stuck in an endless load screen.

What causes the Awaiting Endpoint error?

Awaiting Endpoint is a relatively common problem on Discord because many things can cause it. The following list is not extensive; however, it does cover the more common causes.

Your Windows 11 computer is out of date – Having an out-of-date computer can lead to various compatibility problems with apps. Downloading Windows 11 ISO is the fastest way to update. There is a server outage on Discord – Although rare, Discord’s servers can go offline. When this happens, there’s nothing you can do but wait. Your internet is experiencing some downtime – If your internet connection is running slowly, it can affect Discord. We recommend running the Network Troubleshooter. See if it helps. There’s some kind of network connection issue going on – Likewise, the problem could be with your internet service provider (ISP). You may have to wait until the service returns. Windows Firewall is blocking Discord – Windows Firewall can be pretty good at blocking malware, but it can also be a little overzealous and mess with your apps.

How can I fix the Discord Awaiting Endpoint error?

Fortunately, there are many solutions when it comes to fixing the Awaiting Endpoint error. First, you have simple solutions that can be done quickly to more complex fixes if it’s a bad situation.

The first thing you can do is restart Discord and your computer. Closing Discord typically may not work. If this happens, shut down the app via the Task Manager. Double-check your internet connection. There could be something wrong with your at-home network. Contact your ISP and see if there’s any throttling. Additionally, you can try restarting your router and modem by powering off the devices, then powering them back on. That should work. Try updating the Discord app. This can be done quickly by clicking on the app, then pressing the Ctrl and R keys to refresh Discord. We also recommend using some file recovery software. There could be something missing from your computer’s files causing the connection issue. See if Discord is down. There are numerous resources online, one of the best being Discord Status. It’ll tell you if all systems are operational or something is down.

What can I do if Discord randomly crashes?

Some users have experienced Discord randomly crashing in the middle of a call. This may be because of insufficient RAM, corrupt files, or an outdated operating system. To fix this issue, we recommend any number of things. First, you can try disabling the Hardware Acceleration tool or deleting your computer’s temporary files. That should boost performance. Recently, Discord launched a new AI companion called Clyde, a chatbot that can create music playlists, send GIFs to people, and give movie recommendations. You can try Clyde right now by joining Discord’s Alpha Insider Program and enabling the AI. However, be aware that AI isn’t perfect. It’s prone to a lot of errors.
