Issue on the Godot GitHub: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/102219
This issue has been confirmed many times already, and it’s a problem with the latest Nvidia 572.16+ drivers. A lot of Vulkan applications seem to be affected, and Nvidia is aware of the problem.
There’s nothing we can do on the Godot side to mitigate this, so affected users can either:
- Roll back the driver to a previous version
- Wait for Nvidia to update their drivers with a fix
- Configure Godot to use Direct3D 12 instead of Vulkan (set
rendering/rendering_device/driver.windowstod3d12) - Refer to the official Nvidia feedback thread for updates: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/556258/geforce-grd-57216-feedback-thread-released-13025/
