Where did you download the engine from (system packages, godotengine.org, AUR, Flatpak)? Which graphics card model and driver are you using?

by (12,878 points)

I'm install from repository and I download AppImage archive. My laptop has ATIRadeon R6 Graphic card and R5 M230.

The problem is on Version 3.2.3 when on Terminal or execute AppImage paralyze the OS.

ok, thats beyond my knowledge... sorry

Don't worry. The ultimate things I do was install godot from AUR packages and for something reason that scape my knowdelge, freeze my OS too. The big problem is reports don't log these error. :O

ensure the following packages are installed:
mesa vulkan-radeon
then try 4.0 again (vulkan only)
otherwise, try 3.x again (opengl only)

check the GPU:
lspci -k
look for the line starting with "VGA compatible controller"
below that should tell you which driver is in use, similar to this:
VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP102 Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia

You want Kernel driver in use: to be amdgpu
If it isn't then look up how to switch to it.

If none of this works, try asking the forums for whatever distro you're currently using, as this is seems to be a driver or hardware issue.
