discord-rpc | A discord client to display a button status | Chat library

Now when I added the catch block it doesn't shut down when it cannot connect but it shows a pretty long error to the user, which I would like to hide or replace with a smaller console log like "RPC offline" or something

You mean you want to do something like .catch(() => console.log("RPC Offline"))?

ofcourse i tried to use normal try-catch and only .catch(error) instead of .catch(console.error) but that doesn't seem to catch the unsuccessful connection and just shuts down the script again.

Because it's a promise and you can't handle rejections via try-catch unless you are awaiting
