How do I get Discord to work again? (solved)

Hi! Remember me? Anyway, it's been awhile, but I'll cut to the chase before I could explain where I've been:
I tried to get Discord to work on this thing, especially when there is no longer a way to get a portable install to work (or in other words, the way I know is no longer available). I even tried installing the Deb vanilla (and also creating a desktop file that runs it as spot) but nothing seems to work.
Am I missing something or do I have to just use browser Discord from now on?

I used the tarball from discord.com and extracted it to /mnt/sda3 (everything is just in the one directory named "Discord")
Then /mnt/sd3/Discord/Discord --no-sandbox
Gives me an initial screen which looks promising but I have not registered a discord account or tried to use it so difficult to dive any deeper.
Using run-as-spot /mnt/sda3/Discord/Discord also opens the initial window

@OscarTalks Modifying the desktop entry file to run without a sandbox worked like a charm on the DEB version, but thanks, really.
