What's new in Godot Engine 4.1.3

Nov 1, 2023
  • Godot 4.1.3 is a maintenance release addressing stability and usability issues, and fixing all sorts of bugs. Maintenance releases are compatible with previous releases and are recommended for adoption.

New in Godot Engine 4.1.1 (Jul 18, 2023)

  • Some of the most important changes in this release include:
  • Fix for a crash due to an infinite loop in AnimationStateMachine (GH-79141). It was a gnarly issue because it was easy to trigger with a bare minimum configuration. Now circular dependencies are correctly detected preventing infinite looping.
  • Command-line export of C#/.NET projects should no longer drop random files (GH-79173). Your exports may have had arbitrary resources missing (not C# scripts, but images, for instance), if you were exporting your project with CLI. This should no longer happen.
  • Custom export options which you can define with an EditorExportPlugin are now correctly restored on the editor restart (GH-79025). Previously the usability of this freshly added feature was limited due to data loss between sessions.
  • For Linux users there is a potential fix for freezes when interacting with menus on Wayland (GH-79143). This was a hard to identify and debug issue, but our local Wayland enthusiasts managed to pinpoint the likely cause and validate that the unwanted behavior was addressed.

New in Godot Engine 4.0.1 / 3.5.2 (Mar 21, 2023)

  • Godot 4.0.1 is a maintenance release fixing a number of issues while preserving compatibility with the previous 4.0 release. Changes:
