Godot unresponsive bug

frostysmags · October 5, 2024, 8:26pm

Godot Version

4.3 Stable
Occurring on both standard and .NET

Question

I’ve been having this issue since ~3.5 Stable release but haven’t seen anyone else with this issue. I will be using the engine just fine after performing a restart on my machine - after anywhere between 10 minutes to 5+ hours of use the engine will become unresponsive for ~2 minutes. Then after this happens, all godot windows that are opened after this event take anywhere between 1 minute to 4 minutes to load having an unresponsive window icon and will crash if played with too much. I’ve attempted to launch with console but no errors are shown when this is occurring. The only fix I’ve found is by restarting the machine - which leads me to believe it’s based on some driver or service running on the OS and not godot-specific; but this is the only application that I have that breaks seemingly for no reason. I know the issue isn’t project related because even on a fresh instance of godot with all appdata deleted on a fresh load it will still take up to 4 minutes to load just the base engine interface to create a new project with none available for selection.

I’ve attempted the following to resolve this issue:

deleting and reinstalling drivers related to my mouse and keyboard
deleting all files related to godot - including registry files
upgrading my machine from windows 10 to windows 11
completely uninstalling graphics drivers with DDU and reinstalling from manufacturer’s website

My system specs:
OS: Windows 11 24H2
Processor: i5-9400F
RAM 32GB single stick DDR4
GPU: RTX 3060 ti
MOBO: ASUS Prime H310I-PLUS
Keyboard: SteelSeries Apex 7
Mouse: Logitech G502 Hero

If you need anything else let me know. I have no idea why this keeps happening and it’s aggravated me to the point where I made this account just to put this on here since I’ve seen absolutely nothing related to my issue since 3.5

I can only assume, out of the realm of fiction, that Asus motherboards don’t like Godot for some reason. I have a similar situation.

Does it slow down only the engine or the whole computer including Explorer?

frostysmags · October 5, 2024, 9:59pm

just the engine itself. I can run other programs with no issue, file explorer runs just fine as well as other system applications. event viewer doesn’t seem to catch any system or application logs for godot either

tomcat · October 5, 2024, 10:01pm

So your situation is different from mine. Then I can’t tell you anything, unfortunately.

lexpeartha · October 5, 2024, 10:08pm

Have you tried opening this up as an issue on the official GitHub repo? That’s probably a better place where more tech savvy people could help you get to the bottom of things.

tomcat · October 5, 2024, 10:19pm

Again, in order of fantasy.

Dual Channel Memory Architecture

the cause could potentially be this. Other programs may not use as much memory as the engine. Do you still have heavy programs like Blender?

frostysmags · October 5, 2024, 10:33pm

I was going to but I don’t think this is specific to the engine if it’s only happening on my desktop - I don’t have this issue on my laptop and I haven’t seen this widely reported. I was hoping to be able to get someone here who’s already seen and resolved the issue before going directly to the repo

frostysmags · October 5, 2024, 10:35pm

I had recently upgraded my RAM, originally was on dual stick 16GB of 2x8 and was still having this issue (back when I was using 3.5). So I’m not sure if this is necessarily the reason. I have some sticks of ram laying around and will try though

Also just in case - my RAM is configured to 2666MHz

tomcat · October 5, 2024, 10:45pm

Is that its nominal specs?

frostysmags · October 5, 2024, 11:12pm

that’s the highest speed my motherboard supports, though it shouldn’t be an issue since that’s relatively low to mid range speeds, and I believe the stick I have goes to 3200MHz

tomcat · October 5, 2024, 11:19pm

The safest thing to do is to let the board determine the memory settings automatically.

Usually dual-channel mode works well with two identical sticks.

Do you run other heavy programs on the computer?

gertkeno · October 5, 2024, 11:23pm

Sounds like some sort of file scan is happening, probably windows updates or defender anti-virus, since it’s so consistent in timing. It’s most likely something software side, I can’t imagine this being a hardware issue, if it really only affects Godot.

frostysmags · October 5, 2024, 11:51pm

Sorry yes, the motherboard autoconfigured the speed, I haven’t adjusted it at all just letting it be known just in case somehow that’s causing an issue

frostysmags · October 5, 2024, 11:51pm

I’m running system updates now to check

alex2782 · October 6, 2024, 2:23am

You could try other versions, does this also happen with empty projects?

Download archive: Godot download archive – Godot Engine

Which renderer is used?

frostysmags · October 6, 2024, 3:30am

this happens to the engine from launch itself. It’s independent of any project new or old, launching “Godot 4.3 stable.exe” will have the same result with the initial window and any window after. I’m still waiting for it to happen since it will just start randomly anywhere between 10 minutes after I restart to multiple hours after. But once it starts it doesn’t resolve until I restart again

frostysmags · October 6, 2024, 6:20am

updated and restarted, was using the engine since the restart with no issue until just now, looks like that wasn’t it

frostysmags · October 7, 2024, 7:59pm

Update
still not resolved and attempted the following:

changing which drive godot is stored on D to C
disabling VSync on all available platforms: windows, Nvidia and Godot’s engine preferences/settings
disabling and re-enabling some game-related services in Automatic, Manual, and Manual (triggered)

I’m pretty much at the end of my rope on ideas

Maybe it already says what causes it, later I could create a custom version for you with more debug output.
