Error Codes
If the AI fails to connect properly, you might see one of the following error codes. Here's what they mean and how to resolve them.
Error Code:
0xBAD01Discord installation folder not found.
- Head to your Discord installation folder. It's usually located in:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Discord- or
C:\ProgramData\User\Discord
- Once found, take a screenshot of the folder and send it in your ticket.
- After that, wait for staff for further assistance.
Error Code:
0xBAD02Discord overlay failed to initialize.
- This can happen if the Discord overlay doesn't start properly.
- Simply restart your PC and try again — this usually fixes it.
Error Code:
0xBAD04Random initialization issue.
- A system restart should usually fix this.
- If the error still shows after multiple restarts, let support know so we can look deeper.
Error Code:
0xBAD05Discord is running with elevated permissions (admin mode).
- This might happen if Discord is running as administrator, which can interfere.
- Fully close Discord, then reopen it without admin privileges.
- If the error persists, follow the same steps as
0xBAD01(locate install folder, send screenshot).
