member.dmChannel.awaitMessages() breaking when updating from v14.11 to v14.12

I currently have the following code which works perfectly in discord.js v14.11 however when I upgraded to v14.12, I started getting the following error Cannot read properties of null (reading 'awaitMessages'). This can't be an issue with the code since when I downgrade back to v14.11 it starts working perfectly again so I'm not sure what's going on.

let member = await client.users.fetch(memberId)
let message = await member.dmChannel.awaitMessages({ filter, max: 1, time: timeOutTime, errors: ['time'] });

let member = await client.users.fetch(memberId)
let message = await member.dmChannel.awaitMessages({ filter, max: 1, time: timeOutTime, errors: ['time'] });

Fetching a user doesn’t include the dm channel You either have to open one or send a dm, if ur alr doing that

d.js docs•10mo ago

User#createDM() Creates a DM channel between the client and the user.

Why did it work in 14.11 though? As well as every version of 14 prior to the current one Also the bot does DM the user before awaiting the message

Kinect3000•10mo ago

Await the user.send

RobbyV•10mo ago

I do that

let message = await member.send({ embeds: [promptEmbed] })

let message = await member.send({ embeds: [promptEmbed] })

Kinect3000•10mo ago

Ur sending the message before calling awaitMessages?

RobbyV•10mo ago

Yeah, it's quite a bit higher in the function though But there is definitely a DM open with the user before it tries to await a message

Kinect3000•10mo ago

Can you show the whole function?

RobbyV•10mo ago

It's a little bit of a mess but sure

Oh, ur sharding

RobbyV•10mo ago

Yeah I don't have a choice unfortunately which adds extra complications to everything I have a feeling this is a bug in 14.12.0 and above just because of the fact that it immediately fixes itself when I downgrade to 14.11.0. Sorry I didn't see your original message but yeah that should do the same thing
