I'm not sure what to do next, that's a lot of progress lost if I cant recover it.

#

Solved. I clicked on Reload Project on the editor.

For future reference, this is most often caused by a file's imported variant differing from what's on disk. The word "corrupt" is a lot scarier than what has actually happened, and a reboot will fix this 9/10 times.

#

Actually it seems to be coming back every time i reboot godot or I have to kill it when it freezes.

#

Now its happing on a different scene.

mossy herald Jul 6, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

This might be a deeper problem. Are any other programs on the same hard disk having any weird issues? Games not loading savefiles, inability to validate logins, etc?

warm hawk Jul 6, 2024, 9:47 PM

#

Nope everything seems fine. Just godot. I've been coping with Godot freezing when I save scenes, happens 10% of the time when I save. I've got used to it but maybe its related to the problem idk.

#

I have to open the task manager and kill it everytime. This might mess with the files if not closed correctly I'm asssuming.

Which version of Godot are you using?

warm hawk Jul 6, 2024, 9:51 PM

#

4.2.2.stable flathub

mossy herald Jul 6, 2024, 9:52 PM

#

Hmm.
If you have another hard drive, I'd try moving Godot and your projects to it for the time being. See if these issues still persist. Also, not a bad idea to run a malware scan.

warm hawk Jul 6, 2024, 9:54 PM

#

I'm on linux so malware scans is not on my list. I am using the flathub version of Godot though, maybe i could try switching to the steam version.

#

is it talking about line 19?

#

warm hawk Jul 6, 2024, 10:22 PM

#

Ok. I went and edited the scene file on a text editor and detached the script manually. It seems like the script ID was wrong. I re-attached the script in godot and now it has a new ID.

#

I can now work on my game. But I still have the issue of Godot freezing when loading at times. That is a way deeper problem and I should make a separate post about that instead.

warm hawk Jul 7, 2024, 3:45 PM

#

Its back. I cant do shit.

#

Its only happening with this script.

mossy herald Jul 7, 2024, 3:53 PM

#

Are you using an external IDE, by chance?

#

Git integration, too?

warm hawk Jul 7, 2024, 3:56 PM

#

nope

#

Tried the steam version. Cant even open projects on it.

Does the .gd file exist?

warm hawk Jul 7, 2024, 4:11 PM

#

Is there any way I can clean the godot cache?

warm hawk Jul 7, 2024, 4:11 PM

#

gentle bolt _Does_ the .gd file exist?

ye

gentle bolt Jul 7, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

You could delete/move .godot. Probably better to move than delete.

#

Strongly recommend using git or some other source control. It's never to late to start.

warm hawk Jul 7, 2024, 4:13 PM

#

Yeah i was going to upload it after I finished this scene

gentle bolt Jul 7, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

What I would do from here is open the scene file in a text editor and see if there is obvious corruption in it: the error message might be telling the truth.

warm hawk Jul 7, 2024, 4:15 PM

#

Done that. If I detatch/delete the script from the root node it will open fine

#

Ah and then you can re-attach it, but whatever "it" is happened again.

warm hawk Jul 7, 2024, 4:16 PM

#

Then I open godot and attach it again, and when I reopen godot it says its corrupt again

warm hawk Jul 7, 2024, 4:16 PM

#

gentle bolt Ah and then you can re-attach it, but whatever "it" is happened again.

yup

gentle bolt Jul 7, 2024, 4:18 PM

#

Perhaps there is something about the .gd file it doesn't like, but which isn't immediately visible. Maybe a bad text encoding. I would try replacing the script with a blank one and then, assuming that works, manually move the code back in until it breaks or, hopefully, doesn't.

warm hawk Jul 7, 2024, 4:19 PM

#

yeah let me try that

#

ok that seemed to work. Let me see what is "corrupting" the scene

#

aaaaand it froze...

#

ok so the problem is this line

gentle bolt Jul 7, 2024, 4:28 PM

#

Is it possible that's causing a preload cycle? i.e. does loading title.tscn cause gameplay.tscn to be preloaded? I'm not sure if that would cause a problem, but it's what sprung to mind.

warm hawk Jul 7, 2024, 4:28 PM

#

Im preloading scenes in every menu before the transition. maybe there is a cyclic reference if I do this on compile time?

#

There is no gameplay loading on the title script

#

do you think they're chained and reference indirectly?!

gentle bolt Jul 7, 2024, 4:31 PM

#

It's possible. It could be one of the other scenes you're preloading eventually hits a preload cycle. But I don't actually know if preload cycles are expected to not work. I think you'd just get a clear error message about it if that were the case.

#

I would try changing the preload that triggers the failure to a load, though, to see if it helps.

warm hawk Jul 7, 2024, 4:32 PM

#

Maybe godot doesnt register indirect preload cycle references, only direct between 2 scripts

gentle bolt Jul 7, 2024, 4:32 PM

#

Could easily be.

warm hawk Jul 7, 2024, 4:33 PM

#

gentle bolt I would try changing the preload that triggers the failure to a load, though, to...

I might go back storing the paths and chaning scene at runtime isntead. I had that system before but I found this one kinda cleaner.

#

I'll use change_scene_to_file instead of change_scene_to_packed

outer fiber Jul 7, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

I think it's at least supposed to bail out if a resource attempts to preload itself

#

Because preloading is just a stack of nested calls
