Godot Version

4.2.2

Question

I updated my AMD Radeon graphics drivers to version 24.5.1 and after that Godot crashes when opening a project.

I ran Godot from cmd with --verbose and got the following:

How do I proceed?

Did you reboot your computer after updating your drivers?

If you did that and it’s still crashing you could try deleting the shader_cache folder inside your project’s .godot folder and the editor’s data folder. For the editor data folder you can check File paths in Godot projects — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English to know where it’s located.

If that does not fix the issue then try opening an issue here Issues · godotengine/godot · GitHub explaining the problem and what you tried so far.

Now that I tried a few days later the project opened just fine.

As for the reboot thing - there must have been a few boots after installing the graphics driver because I did it a few days before I tried opening my project.

Cheers though, hopefully someone who has the same problem finds help in your advice!
