Godot Version

4.6.1

Question

Originally my project was in 4.5.1. Once I encountered the problem I downloaded 4.6.1 and still had the same issue. Whenever I try to add a child node to a scene or create a new node using the scene controls on the left or by right clicking a node and pressing add child node, the whole editor freezes and won’t allow any other action to happen. I then have to close the editor using task manager. Nothing else on my computer freezes and if I create a new project, it does not have the same issue. I also recently upgraded my computer parts which I feel might be the issue.

Whenever I run the current build of the game, it still works. It really seems to be whenever I try adding more nodes.

My current pc is

AMD Ryzen 7 7700x 8 Core

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (thought it says there are multiple installed)

32 GB of Ram

My old build was a AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6 cores

Nvidia geforce rtx 2070 ti

16 GB of Ram

Try deleting the hidden .godot folder for the project

the one called project.godot?

No, that’s your project file.
You want to delete the folder called .godot

If you can’t see it, make sure you enable “show hidden files and folders” in windows explorer settings.
