Godot Version

4.7

Question

I’m running Fedora KDE Plasma 44 and have a Geforce GTX 1080 Ti. I was able to run Godot 4.7 in Forward+ up until an update last week, but now it’s crashing on Editor launch with the following error(s):

Godot Engine v4.7.stable.official.5b4e0cb0f - https://godotengine.org

My Vulkan Info doesn’t seem to be indicating any issues as far as I’m aware (the whole info dump won’t fit, but if there’s any particular sections anyone would like to see, i could paste that). I’m a Linux newb, but if anyone has any suggestions or whatnot to do to try to solve, I’d appreciate it!
Thank you in advance!

I think it’s better to report bugs / issues on GitHub, as most maintainers won’t respond to issues on the forums at all.

From the error message it looks to be concerning the driver. Are you using the proprietary drivers from nvidia? If so it may mean your drivers are out of sync with the kernel.
run nvidia-smifrom the command line, and see if it shows a driver communication error, if so you likely have to reinstall and update the drivers using rpm.

Thanks all! I’m not sure if it was from me reinstalling the drivers, or there was another system update, but Godot does seem to be working correctly again. I appreciate you both taking the time to help me out, though! I figured it was just something to do with my particular system.
