I am working on a game and I started getting this random xml error that appears to have no effect on my current code. I do not use XML other that stuff like to make reading my code easier. The error appears whenever I run the game. Here is the error message:

System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document (8, 2). —> System.Xml.XmlException: Name cannot begin with the ‘<’ character, hexadecimal value 0x3C. Line 8, position 2.

Any help would be amazing.

For anyone struggling with this problem I found that deleting Discord Presence (it displays your current unity project as your discord status) works
