My godot is broken i think

Godot Version

godot version 4.6.2

Question

for some reason my steam version of godot does this in my project. The same thing happens if i download godot from their official website. What I could do to fix that?


This doesn’t seem like a Godot issue, but rather a GPU issue. What GPU are you using? If it’s AMD, try to upgrade your drivers.

Or downgrade your video drivers. What OS are you using?

It looks like he’s using windows

What computer are you using? Can you give us any details about your GPU (Graphics Card)?

I’ve seen PCs with viruses before, but never possessed lol

Hi,

They are using Windows(R) 10 which is EOL(End Of Life) and no longer supported.
Either get Windows(R) 11 or switch to a Linux distro that would still support your old computer.

Windows(R) is a registered trademark of Microsoft(R)

That is not a super helpful answer. Just because Windows 10 is EOL doesn’t mean it won’t work. Also, not everyone can afford a new version of Windows - or wants to use Linux as their primary OS.

That shouldn’t matter…

Support hasn’t ended yet, at least not for all users. They extended support for a year if the user met some criteria. I’m still on windows 10 on extended support and there are still updates.
And also, as others stated, even if support ended, that shouldn’t cause this type of issue.

It’s most likely related to GPU / GPU driver.

Anyway…

Had something similar when running the Godot IDE editor on Raspberry Pi 4.
Try to change the the editor’s rendering mode to “Compatibility” (top-right).

That may solve the problem, but only if one is ok not running in Forward+. As @tibaverus and I have said, this is likely a driver issue. Video card manufacturers often do driver updates that break Vulkan compatibility. On windows the solution is using Direct3D. On Linux it is downgrading your drivers.

The reason that was the solution for you on a Raspberry PI is they do not have graphics cards and can only run in compatibility mode.

WOW. I haven`t checked for a while in here! Thanks for trying to help. My GPU seems to be Radeon RX 560 Series. Im also gonna try to update my drivers. I`m also using windows 10, thats for some reason cant update for a while.

And sorry if i speak bad in English, cause Im a russian

Don’t worry, your English is good. Yes, updating the drivers may help.

tried to update my drivers, but its says that its the latest version and nothing changed

Try my suggestion:

The problem may be that you need to downgrade your drivers, not update them. Try installing the previous version - or if you know it, the version you had when it was still working.

Alternately, you can just give up and run in compatibility mode like @savantsavior is suggesting. Just note that 3D graphics will be severely limited, and anyone using your project will also be running in compatibility mode and suffer the same restrictions you do.

GUYS! Thank you all very much! I just updated my GPU drivers (which still was a lot of pain) helped me and now godot is working properly! Thank you all!

This is not entirely true, there is a LTSC (Long Tern Support) version of Windows 10 still being fully supported with updates and everything until 2032. I think it was an EU / Business requirement action that facilitated it. Microsoft doesn’t advertise it much as they want everyone using their Windows 11 (SpyWare) :slight_smile: But you can find it with a little digging.

I don’t use windows at all, stopped in 2003, but I keep up with the news.

It is also far more relevant that Godot still supports Windows 10 than if MS does or not.
