Hi there!

I am Mark, quite new to Godot but not to game engines.

On my notebook - Windows 7 32 Bit, ATI (AMD) Mobility HD 4250 I am getting error messages at startup like this:

ERROR: initialize: Condition ' status != 0x8CD5 ' is true. Continuing..:
   At: drivers/gles3/rasterizer_scene_gles3.cpp:4893

So far so good, the engine is starting nevertheless.
However, as soon as I try to load a project or template, the engine freezes.

I am suspect this is a driver issue, but could not yet find a solution…

Happy to hear any hints or tipps!

Try the Steam version. If it’s already the Steam one, try the normal one (not the mono, only if you really need C#).
If the error continues, the best solution would be updating to Windows 10. If you can’t do that, I would recommend doing a factory reset on your computer.

Hi there!

First of all, I have to correct myself.
Despite the error messages, the engine seems to work but takes a huges amount of time to start up so I first thought it was freezing.

Nevertheless, the problem is anoying.

As for the suggestions:

  • It’s not the Stean version (I do not have a steam account and do not
    want to set up one for this purpose only)
  • An upgrade to Windows 10 is not impossible but then again, the only reason would be to test whether the problem is solved and installing a new OS only for that reason, well…
  • Some goes for the “factory reset” of the notebook.

In the meantime I tried installing the Microsoft drivers for the HD 4250, then those from AMD - both with no improvement to the situation.

Is there no way to get this working?
