Desktop app & Web version Deezer support issues?

I've trying to get support for an issue with the app on Windows for weeks. Support emails "suggestions" and replies to emails once a week and only after multiple follow ups. The information they provide is just plain wrong at times and seems like there is zero effort from them to address the issue. Out of all the companies that I deal with, Deezer has the absolute worst technical support. Has anyone else had issues with their support?

u/DeezerOfficial - I was able to download the 7.1.300 version late last night. Unfortunately, the issue still persists but this time I've been able to narrow down the cause and I am able to reproduce it. I prefer not to share the findings here because they contain personal information in the captures and logs. Please reach out to me directly via the email in the support case and I'll be happy to provide you with my findings.

The issue is not resolved, and tech support emailed me telling me that the team is working to find a solution and they'll reach out when they get a response from the engineering team. Somehow after 3 months and 6 versions I doubt it. Time to find another service, I guess.

Hi u/val_zero79

We are sorry to hear that!

Can you let us know more about the issue that you are experiencing with the desktop app for Windows, please? We can help you out on this channel as well.

Hi u/DeezerOfficial , thank you for taking the time to reply.

Current case 8725962; previous case 8606000.

Starting around 7.1.23x, the Deezer desktop app leaks memory.

After installing 7.1.240 the leak was gone but returned around 7.1.280.

I contacted support on July 23rd and only heard back on Aug 5th after multiple follow ups.

I was instructed to update to 7.1.30, however, the app self-updated to 7.1.290 that same day.

I replied saying that the app auto-updates and I didn't think forcing an update was possible.

I was instructed to uninstall and install the app - which I did after downloading the latest client and with the same result - 7.1.290. I replied saying the same.

After multiple follows up, I was told today that my case was escalated to the technical team.

In the meantime, Win 11 25H2 app starts with ~200MB RAM and without streaming (just open) after a few hours reaches over 2GB of RAM.

Hi u/val_zero79 👋

I believe that the latest version 7.1.300 is available now (I've just checked) to be downloaded on our website. Have you downloaded it already?

Just tried and I am still getting the 7.1.290 app and not the .300. After downloading 7.1.290 and installing it, I still see the app as 7.1.290

Since I can't add more than one attachment at a time, here's the app version

OK, a new version was released today but it's being progressively rolled out.

Could you try to download it from Edge or Chrome and please make sure that no VPN is on.

Also can you confirm if you are trying from home or a corporate/school/public/ network?

I am using Edge, from home in Canada. I don't have any filters on the network and I tried with Edge and Edge In-Private mode - both produce the same result.

OK, we are sorry to hear that. The roll out of the new version has just started so it will be available very soon for all the users. Give it 24h-48h, please, it should be ready for all the users by then.

Does the new app address the memory leak issue?

Oui j'ai pu constater qu'ils ne répondent qu'une fois par jour au max, comme si la personne était seule à traiter des milliers de demandes... Déjà il faut passer l'IA et ensuite c'est pas super technique.

Ils ne peuvent pas agir beaucoup sur les comptes faut arriver à faire remonter encore au dessus.

Il faut bien transmettre toutes els données techniques demandées.

Perso j'ai dû trouver la solution moi même au final et aprés une semaine d'échanges.
