Godot 4 too slow. How to fix?

UpsetChicken

So I'm still using Godot 3 for my project. The reason for this is because I gave Godot 4 a try like a year ago, and I remember it was very laggy and slow, and it also crashed a lot. Not sure if my PC is the problem, but judging how it has a very decent setup and how many people have also complained about Godot 4 performance, I doubt that's the case. It's been a while since I last used 4, so I'm unsure if these problems still persist.

So, what can be done to improve Godot 4 performance? And can Godot 4 new features be somehow used in older(or maybe alternate) versions?

UpsetChicken PC is the problem

Theres is your problem.

It works fine on my 10k battle station.

I think performance is very relative to the project and how you have it setup. What features do you use? How well optimized is your code? How well optimized are your assets?

It's very hard to help diagnose your performance issues without knowing more about the project.

I didn't made anything. I noticed these just by using it for the first time.
But as I said, it's been a while since I tried using. Maybe it will be different nowadays.

UpsetChicken Ah.. I see. Not sure what that could be. I'm on 4.x.x and my project started on 3.x.x. But I didn't notice any performance drop. But could also be me not paying that much attention to it.

Just for clarity, are you talking about the Godot editor, or running a game?

4.3> versions are very good now.
