Upgrading from Godot 4.5 to Godot 4.6

For most games and apps made with 4.5 it should be relatively safe to migrate to 4.6. This page intends to cover everything you need to pay attention to when migrating your project.

Breaking changes

If you are migrating from 4.5 to 4.6, the breaking changes listed here might affect you. Changes are grouped by areas/systems.

This article indicates whether each breaking change affects GDScript and whether the C# breaking change is binary compatible or source compatible:

  • Binary compatible - Existing binaries will load and execute successfully without recompilation, and the run-time behavior won't change.

  • Source compatible - Source code will compile successfully without changes when upgrading Godot.

Behavior changes

Android

Informacja

The source sets configuration for Android export templates has been updated to match the default Android Studio project structure (GH-110829). This affects the directory layout of the Android project:

  • Files previously in [Project root]/android/build/src/ are now in [Project root]/android/build/src/main/java/.

  • Android manifest file and assets directory have been moved to src/main/ subdirectories.

For example, GodotApp.java moved from src/com/godot/game/GodotApp.java to src/main/java/com/godot/game/GodotApp.java.

Renderowanie

Informacja

Soft Light blend mode now always behaves as it did previously with use_hdr_2d, regardless of the Viewport's use_hdr_2d setting (GH-109971).

Changed defaults

The following default values have been changed. If your project relies on the previous defaults, you may need to explicitly set them to the old values.

Informacja

The default rendering driver on Windows for newly created projects is now D3D12 (GH-113213). This can be changed in Project Settings under rendering/rendering_device/driver.windows.

Informacja

The default 3D physics engine for newly created projects is now Jolt Physics (GH-105737). This can be changed in Project Settings under physics/3d/physics_engine.
