Linux: Forward+ still broken, errors and audio popping with Godot 4.4

Help
1

I did a test conversion of my Godot 4.3 project to Godot 4.4. I have discovered that the following issues exist.

  • Forward+ render is still broken for Linux with a nasty jitter (about every second ). My fix has been to set MaxFPS to 60 (on my 60hrtz monitors) and turn off vsync. Aside from this fix Forward+ is STILL broken on Linux. See attached video. See this github issue:

  • Popping sounds are being generated by the editor after an application is run and even when that application is stopped. You can hear them in the attached video.

  • This warning is issued many times. WARNING: platform/linuxbsd/x11/display_server_x11.cpp:6308 - XCreateIC couldn’t create wd.xic - No idea what this is yet.

  • Once I run a program the editor is constantly modifying scene scripts on it’s own, apparently and is issuing this warning and dialog box. Happens every time I run an application from the editor.

If you have any advice please let me know. Thanks.

I would start by reboot computer and trying again.
Which version and Desktop of Linux?
Any text editors that have open the gd files?
Any backups running that could be changing time stamps?
Does it happened with all projects?
Do you have sample code to post?

Can’t comment on the first 3 issues since I did not experience them after conversion (on archlinux/kde/x11/nvidia prop).

But I did run into the 4th one (annoying “File have been modified” pop up).

What fixed it for me is to close all of the affected scripts in the Godot editor, then restart godot. Now if I open them (or any other script), the pop up no longer appears after running the game.

I have also run into this same issue, and the solution for me was the same: close all scripts in the editor, then restart.

@wyattbiker I am using Linux Mint 21.1 . My game project runs fine on Godot 4.3 with none of the issues above except the issue with forward+. No code examples. Only the editor has open files.

@rossvor @soapspangledgames I will give this a try. Thanks.

I run Godot 4.3 on Linux Ubuntu 24.04, and I also noticed this happening but chalked it up to it being an issue with my speakers. How curious.

@TokyoFunkScene Right on… In my case the popping sounds end when I exit the editor. :slight_smile:

More on the " WARNING: platform/linuxbsd/x11/display_server_x11.cpp:6308 - XCreateIC couldn’t create wd.xic " error above. There is now an open issue on github about it.

I have opened an issue on the Forward+ renderer and Linux here. I am hoping to get some clarification.
