If we got a Discord RPC for GZDoom, then why not add a Discord RPC feature for UZDoom?

If it's not ZDoom, it goes here.

I want a built-in Discord RPC in UZDoom, so if everybody here knows how to enable it let me know. 8-)

It was removed since it crashed, it still works in LZDoom since i use an old version of CMake.

That library is a very old library that I think last got updated nearly a decade ago. As drfrag alluded to, since it hasn't gotten updates in so long, it has started failing on newer compilers.

UZDoom updates its compiler stack frequently, including project tools like CMake, and the decision ultimately was made to axe the library entirely in favor of eventually finding something new. Unfortunately, that will not make it into UZDoom 5.0. UZDoom 5.0 will exist entirely without it.

For what it's worth, the code still exists to do rich presence, it's just been disabled, for now.
