Discord
What is Discord
Discord is a free chat and voice client that's been widely adopted by gaming communities. Think of it as all the features of Skype, Teamspeak, Ventrilo and Mumble rolled into one application.
Free download
Discord is available on PC, Mac, Linux, IOS, and Android. You can access Discord through a browser such as Firefox or Chrome, but this is a limited version.

Why are some people different colors?
These people have different roles in the AtiTD Discord.
- Red - ATiTD developers
- Green - Game Masters; those that volunteer your time and answer your in-game GM calls.
- Yellow - Discord Moderators; they make sure channels stay on topic.
- Purple - Players that have purchased the Full Tale subscription package. They get no other benefits, just a purple name.
- White/grey - Standard Discord user.
Troubleshooting issues
Some users have experienced issues while running both Discord and A Tale in the Desert at the same time. These are often described as:
- Latency
- Error when maximizing game window (Fatal Error: Could not activate texunit 0)
The issue could be the result of Discord's overlay feature. 3rd party overlays are still a difficult feature to pull off, especially on a 20 year old game.
How to disable Discord's overlay feature
- Click on your personal settings, the little cog located in the bottom left near your name.
- Click on Overlay
- Toggle the overlay off by swiping this button to the left
