Greetings, I am currently having serious issues with the engine, because it keeps constantly freezing and crashing for no apparent reason.
It’s happening with versions 4.3 and 4.4 of the engine, and I tried with several projects, including some that I have not opened in months and didn’t have any issues before.
The freezes seems to happen randomly any time the engine has to do some task, such as show a tooltip, save changes, move a node or even when closing the play window.
Running the engine with the console or as administrator didn’t worked and I am not running any other software at the same time.
I am running it on Windows 11 with updated drivers for an Nvida 3070 Ti Laptop GPU. I also have a 12th gen I9 and 32 GB of memory.
I dont think i have experienced this much in 4.3 or have seen others report this issue since 4.3 release, so the only thing i could suggest is to make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date to use the Forward+ Volken renderer. You can also test compatibility mode to see if that improves anything.
I would however encourage you to find a way to reliably recreate the freeze/crash and report it to the repo github issues.
I wasn’t able to find a consistent way of reproducing the error. It happens randomly whenever Godot shows a editor UI tab/window/tooltip. Sometimes I don’t do anything at all and it just freezes. The console doesn’t say anything either.
A temporary solution I found for this is to work in Compatibility Mode, which stop the freezing, although is not an Ideal solution for all projects.
Sounds like Windows is doing the usual Windows thing and acting up when Godot wants to create so many windows… It’s hard to describe, to be honest. Try enabling Single Window Mode in the editor settings (Interface → Editor)
To me this is very frequent. Hit F2 to rename. Hang. Add new node window. Hang. Click on the button to select a target object. Hang. It’s also very random I must admit. I think it happens with both the single and multi window but I can try switching back to single one.
I think I had this with both multiple windows and single window. Could it be Dialogic? Could it be high-dpi screen?
