This is likely an issue with your system drivers: #49358

Some textures does not appear (Imported project from Godot 3).

Materials need to be set up again when converting a project from Godot 3 to Godot 4, at least until #51950 is merged.

Hi @Calinou
My laptop has intel (integrated) and nvidia card, and only use intel, but I have installed nvidia-driver-470.
Should I have to uninstall the nvidia-driver?

If you don't intend on using the dedicated GPU at all, I would recommend uninstalling the NVIDIA driver.

@Calinou
I uninstalled many drivers. These are the last. What should I have to uninstall?

• conky-all/impish,now 1.11.6-2 amd64 [installed]
• dmraid/impish,now 1.0.0.rc16-8ubuntu5 amd64 [installed]
• libnvidia-compute-470/impish-updates,impish-security,now 470.86-0ubuntu0.21.10.1 amd64 [installed]

It looks like some of those packages may be leftover dependencies (which may be removed using sudo apt autoremove). You should definitely keep ubuntu-drivers-common and xserver-xorg-video-nouveau though.

Just launching vkcube and Godot 4 shows this message:
MESA-INTEL: warning: Performance support disabled, consider sysctl dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0

I used this command:
sudo sysctl dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0

The Mesa-intel warning does not show, but godot 4 its still slower than godot 3.

The Mesa-intel warning does not show, but godot 4 its still slower than godot 3.

In 4.0, glow is enabled by default in 3D, which is likely why the editor runs slowly when using the 3D editor. #49736 disables it by default again (like in Godot 3.x).

[chriztheanvill]

After trying.
Godot 4 crashes my PC, 2D or 3D project.
In 2D runs kind of slower than Godot 3, but in 3D it runs more slower than Godot 3, no matter if is glow activated or tonemap.

Issue still exists on Alpha 13, both self compiled and "official version":

On starting godot from the command line in Manjaro (Arch).

Yes it's a different AMD video card on an asus Strix 15 laptop. Same error thaugh.

[akien-mga]

Do you have both Nvidia and AMD cards in the same laptop? Or why do you have Nvidia's proprietary Vulkan drivers installed?

[Hoxolotl]

I have the default manjaro drivers installed. Looks like those default drivers are the nvidia ones -somehow-
AMD GPU and CPU in this laptop, so I have no idea how nvidia got in. Guess I'm off to see if I can change that... last time I tried to install AMD Vulkan drivers it almost bricked my laptop so I'll be a bit carefull about installing/removing anything.

pacman -Qqs vulkan

[Hoxolotl]

Removed all nvidia stuff, seems I installed it way back because my numpty brain wanted to try using CUDA...
Godot 4 alpha13 still crashes, but for new and interesting reasons not related to this issue.
Thanks akien-mga! That was spot on.

This appears to be a driver issue on the users end. At any rate there is nothing actionable as the report isn't clearly a bug. If someone runs into a similar sounding issue, please open a new issue with a clear description of your hardware and what settings are required to cause the slowdown/crash
