neon harness
Hey all, I'm having this issue where the Godot Engine window keeps, shall we say "resizing" seemingly randomly. I will be moving my cursor across the screen, and the entire window stretches downwards. I would have recorded this in OBS, but it doesn't show up when I'm screen recording or perform a screenshot. I've seen this issue across 2 of my PC's now, so it isn't an isolated issue.
It's a very annoying issue and I would appreciate any help.
Godot Engine Window Keeps Shifting

Try this @neon harness :
"D:\Godot\Godot_v4.2.1-stable_win64.exe" --path "D:\Godot\project_name" -e --video-driver GLES3 --fixed-fps 60
Change the path to where your Godot exe is. If it's 3, I think you have to use GLES2? If it's 4, you can use GLES3. I had a flickering issue and this fixed it. It only happened with my IDE window. Same here, I couldn't capture it in any screen recording videos either.

Honestly, I'm not sure what you mean for me to do. Is this a command line thing?
coral cobalt
Yes.

It is a command line thing
neon harness
I'm unsure how to accomplish what you're asking:
Change what path?
In cmd.exe?
Do I have to do this for every project?

It is a command line thing
A screenshot example of what you're talking about would be very helpful.

what version of windows? never seen this problem before and hard to tell the exact scenerio with such a zoomed in capture
what is the state of the window? maximized or normal?
running in a different renderer is a nice idea. you could create a shortcut i believe. but the main objective is to test if your system is having issues with vulkan

You made a desktop shortcut for your godot.exe?

Maximized, not fullscreen, but it appears in fullscreen as well.
It might be. It is an Nvidia 3060M
neon harness
You made a desktop shortcut for your godot.exe?
I have not.
modest osprey
I have not.
Ah. You'll need to do that to include command line arguments if you want to open with a click.
neon harness
I directly launch from the included executable in the Godot folder.
modest osprey
Make a shortcut. Takes a half second
neon harness
Ok, what now?
modest osprey
So open the shortcut (right click -> properties) and where it says target, add that line
you can leave out the --project part
This is if you're using windows, of course
You can see all the command line options here: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/editor/command_line_tutorial.html

-e --video-driver GLES3 --fixed-fps 60?
neon harness
Strange you can't pass that directly through the .exe file.
coral cobalt
Strange you can't pass that directly through the .exe file.
You basically are. You're calling the exe with all these parameters.
Did you try it? or do you still need a screenshot?
modest osprey
--fixed-fps wwill make sure the editor runs at 60 fps
I think you need --display-driver rather than video-driver, but the results should be the same
coral cobalt
You can go higher than 60 fps, also. I just gave that for reference. I did 220, since I have 240hz monitors.
modest osprey
Yeah, set it to your monitor refresh
if you don't know that then 60 is a safe number
neon harness
Ok, this does not work
--display-driver GLES3 --fixed-fps 144
Godot won't launch at all.
This doesn't fix the issue either... Maybe it is a Vulkan issue?
-e --video-driver GLES3 --fixed-fps 60?
Godot won't launch? @neon harness
@neon harness Run with admin in cmd prompt, navigate to the root of the drive:
should work
"D:\Godot\Godot_v4.2.1-stable_win64.exe" --video-driver GLES3 --fixed-fps 60
Just set the path to your exe path.

Still having the issue even after doing that.
coral cobalt
Rip, unsure then. I'm sorry.
neon harness
Rip, unsure then. I'm sorry.
Is there any way we can run it without vulkan?
neon harness
It's an Nvidia card. Why is it running Vulkan in the first place?
coral cobalt
Maybe if you're making a Compatibility project?

I don't know the technical reason, but I know it doesn't matter what GPU you have. Vulkan is lower level than that and an API for graphics. That's a very high level explanation and may not even be correct.
Have you tried clicking Shift + F11 for fullscreen?
Or you can go to Editor > Toggle Fullscreen
I know that's not ideal, but I have two monitors so I don't mind working in fullscreen
