Discord.js setGame() not working anymore
I have been coding my Discord bot using Discord.JS for about 2 months now and I've just recently noticed that my bot isn't saying that it's playing what I'm telling it. When I first coded the bot up until recently it worked just fine. Now the 3 discord bots I have aren't showing their games.
This is the code I'm using:
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const bot = new Discord.Client();
bot.on("ready", () => {
console.log("Ready");
bot.user.setGame("Type !help");
}
javascript node.js discord discord.js

.setGame() is deprecated now but you could use .setPresence() or you could use the .setActivity() which is the same thing and format as the .setGame().
Ex.
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Discord.Client();
client.user.setActivity('YouTube', { type: 'WATCHING' });
Here is a link to the documentation in case you wanted to change 'Watching' to something else like 'Playing'.

The setGame() Method has stopped working, here's what you can do:
- update to latest 11.1-dev or
- use
.setPresence({ game: { name: 'nameGoesHere', type: 0 } });as a workaround instead
