Discord Fake Game Launcher

This tool creates small dummy executable files that mimic real game processes that Discord looks for when detecting verified / registered games. Can be used for completing Discord Quests without installing the game.

How it works

• Reads Discord's registered games from the gamelist.json

• Scans file for .exe names.

• Lets you search and pick one.

• Creates a dummy exe in:

  %APPDATA%/discord-fake-game-launcher-ui/games/dummygame/<GameID>/<GameName>.exe

• Launches that dummy exe.
  Discord detects it as if the real game is running.

The same executable acts as:

• Launcher when run from the shortcut or from root folder.
• Fake game when run from a subfolder inside games/.

Build

You need the .NET SDK (8.0+ recommended) and Node.js (for the Electron UI).

Building the Core

dotnet build ./src/Launcher/Launcher.csproj -c Release
dotnet build ./src/DummyGame/DummyGame.csproj -c Release

Building the Electron UI

1. Publish the DummyGame template to the Electron resources folder:

   dotnet publish ./src/DummyGame/DummyGame.csproj -c Release -o ./electron/build-resources/dummygame

2. Build the Electron UI:

   cd electron
   npm install
   npm run dist

The installer will be created in electron/dist/.
