Godot keeps crashing

[love]

Latest versions of godot keep crashing in forward+ mode but works in compability, seems like a problem with vulkan, but i dont know how to fix it. any guesses? tried to reinstall it and create blank projects, doesnt work

Grab the official file directly from https://www.godotengine.org/download and use the "console" executable; it may at least tell you what broke, instead of just crashing to the desktop.

It's probably an issue with Vulkan on your system; make sure your GPU has Vulkan support, and maybe upgrade the drivers.

Are there any error messages?

Are you able to see the Project Manager screen when you start Godot, or does it crash right away?

sorry for the late response. there are no error messages i believe. i can see manager and godot works fine when i run a project in compability mode but after i try to switch to forward+ it justs crashes immeditely

Sounds like you should probably stick with compatibility mode, then.

"Compatibility mode" in Godot 4 is just OpenGL. It's not horrible, just not quite as advanced. 3D is definitely still an option, and arguably better; you're not the only one having issues with Vulkan.

I tried going into the Godot site and downloading the dev version. Despite not being stable, I seem to have less issues with it than 4.2.

I can't see the error as I have no access to what you're doing, but I don't suppose this is for a mobile game/app? I know people say Godot 4.x isn't very optimized for mobile.

Yep, that definitely sounds like a Vulkan problem. What GPU are you using?
