Godot not working after last Manjaro update

Godot Version

I’ve tried 3.5, 4.0, 4.3 stable, 4.4 stable and the last 4.5 beta (beta 7)

Question

Last Friday I used Godot. No problem. I went out for the weekend and come back on Monday. My OS had a bunch of updates, I updated and restarted. Now Godot freezes THE WHOLE COMPUTER when I close the game window. It’s just when closing the game window, I can use Godot all I want unless I want to play my game. Then, computer freezes and I have to reboot with the power button.

I’ve tried all renderers, I’ve downgraded some of the dependencies my OS updated yesterday. Nothing seems to work and it’s driving my crazy.

I just need to confirm if this is happening to someone else, please, if there are some other Manjaro users out there, can you run Godot?

I’m devastated with this issue, I don’t know what to do :frowning:

My specs:

Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
Kernel Version: 6.12.44-2-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-7700K CPU @ 4.20GHz
Memory: 62,8 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT (discrete)

Product Name: Z270-Gaming K3

Not a Manjaro user but have you tried using Godot 4 stable and Godot 3.5? There’s a chance that it happens when the GPU overheats or maybe cuz of OS update. When it happened to me I updated OS plus it was summer and my godot started lagging as it was running on a GPU from 1998…
I’m in confusion of that really caused it…

I’m on Manjaro:

Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
Kernel Version: 6.15.11-2-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 32 × AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D 16-Core Processor
Memory: 61,9 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER
Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon Graphics
Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
Product Name: X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7
System Version: Default string-CF-WCP-ADO

And everything works as expected.

Thanks for your answer! I’ve tried now 3.5 and 4.0 with same results :frowning:

Thanks a lot for your answer but I guess this is bad news for me because if it’s not a problem of the update, now I’m even more lost than before :sweat_smile:

I see that you have 2 graphic cards, I have an AMD, did you try with both devices? Just in case it’s an AMD problem.

Thanks again!

Tried on both devices with Godot 4.4.1. It’s working correctly.

So, I finally fixed this. Someone on mastodon suggested to install LACT, and by doing so a bunch of dependencies were installed as well.

Long story short, those deps fixed the issue!!

Here’s the history of the package manager with the dependencies, in case anyone finds it useful:
