4.2 / 4.2.2 into 4.3

When opening a project made in 4.2 in the new 4.3, EVERYTHING gives out load errors, lacking permission, whenever doing anything in the editor, constantly freezing. It also creates .tmp files for everything, and breaks the project, which starts giving out the same error in the old version. It also refuses to save any changes at all, making it impossible to use! Please help :frowning:

If you open your project folder, there should be a directory called .godot. If you don’t see it, make sure you enable “Show hidden files and folders” in Windows settings.
Once you see that directory, close your project in Godot, and delete the .godot directory completely, then re-open the project with Godot. This should re-generate the things Godot needs to function properly.

I have not yet updated my godot from 4.2.1, this makes me scared to do so!

I accidentally set the project folders as read-only, that’s what was happening!!! I’m really really really dumb :frowning: well at least now it works :slight_smile: sorry ;w;
