When you open your task manager you’ll notice a bunch of Discord processes running - don’t panic, this is normal!
We’re based on chromium which has a multi-process model. These processes are;
- Main Process (handles restarting other processes if they die & need res)
- Renderer
- Crash Reporter
- GPU Process (even with hardware acceleration turned off you’ll still see this process)
+ Overlay
Using the overlay will add a few more processes to the mix:
- Overlay host process
- Overlay GPU process
- An overlay renderer per game
