Godot Version

4.6 and 4.7

Question

I everyone,
I migrated a current project on godot 4.7 to test it out. It appears to be really slow for common tasks:

  • saving scenes take few seconds (vs < 0.3 sec on 4.6)
  • printing logs at game start up (in the engine) takes few secondes (vs instant on 4.6)
  • alt tabing back to the engine takes few secondes (vs instant on 4.6)

Without .godot and .git folders, this project weighs around 1GB with around 15000 files
This project also include Godot SQLite and Console plugins

On a blank project, everything seems to work well.

PC config:

  • RTX 3070 ti
  • 32go DDR4 RAM
  • i5-14400F

I use GDscript on Visual Studio code connected to GitHub

What could I do to diagnostic the issue and/or repare it ?

Thanks by advance !

Do you use the mono version (c#) in 4.7?
You could try to delete your shader_chache in the .godot folder, maybe the “imported” folder, too. Godot has to be closed first, on next start Godot will rebuild the shader and reimport the assets. Maybe make a backup first.
Start Godot from a terminal, are there some messages? Does Godot detect your GPU, on run the first lines in the output.

It’s a sacrilege, but you could try GDStudio (closed source fork of the GodotEngine)? There the loading is way faster. I hope the loading optimization will find it’s way back to Godot.

IMHO, some of the UI/UX changes are somewhat nice. But it’s a shame, that it’s closed source and so far only windows.

Honestly, I’d say this is worth logging a bug about. Sooner or later someone else will likely also have this problem, and that’s where they will likely hunt it down, with multiple people reporting it. You might also get help with how to diagnose it.

A few questions:

  1. Are you using Godot Mono? For future reference, when reporting your version that’s part of the version.
  2. What OS are you on?

I’ll try with latest bug fixes and I’ll log a bug if it persists.
Thanks for your time !
