When you first add a beta branch of a game to your library, Discord tells you that you don't own it

Describe the bug

When you first add a beta branch of a game to your library, Discord tells you that you don't own it. However, when you click Install afterwards, the game installs fine.

Unfortunately I can't test if this was a once off occurrence, since there's no way to remove beta branches / free games from your Discord library.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to https://discord.gg/z4ZnS3M
  2. Click on Add to library
  3. You'll get taken to your game library, and Discord will show the error message displayed in the screenshot below.

Expected behavior

Discord shouldn't show this error message as it's misleading.

Additional context

This game is a beta branch (691162811602173985) of an unapproved game (426958487654891521).

Are you potentially running a entitlement check with DRM Wrapping or https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/game-sdk/applications#validateorexit ? If not, how is Discord supposed to know if they actually own it or not?

Discord tracks entitlements. It does know whether you own a game or not.

In this case, the bug has nothing to do with the implemented game; the bug occurs before the game is even launched.

I can confirm that this happens to me as well.

I am also encountering this issue. I made sure that a manifest was selected in the backend and that the user has the proper role. Any solution for this?
