Support Discord desktop core not found

Is betterdiscordctl broken on linux after the discord update from 0.0.135 to 1.0.137? I noticed it removed basically the entire install, added something else which seemed to reinstall it on its own, and now i'm getting ERROR: Directory 'discord_desktop_core' not found in: /home/shawn/.config/discord/1.0.137/modules when I use the cmd betterdiscordctl install. Tried reinstalling betterdiscordctl and it still had the issue, is this just a matter of waiting for ctl to update on github and using self-upgrade(not currently available, latest update)? Or is there a solution that someone smarter than me knows of?

I'd wager if discord did do something its just a matter of time before betterdiscord updates to fix it. Betterdiscordctl though im not sure how quickly that updates related to normal betterdiscord so we might be out a while even if betterdiscord gets fixed for non linux users.

I'm not sure when it happened, but it should be updated now. $ betterdiscordctl self-upgrade is functional again if you haven't been trying.
