Steps to reproduce

Put the Godot build in the projects folder and type the following into the command line:

./Godot_v4.0-stable_win64.exe --startup-benchmark -e

Minimal reproduction project

N/A -- can be seen by running the editor.

Thanks for the detailed report. Given that it spends 20 s in the servers initialization, my current guess would be that it can be related to initializing the RenderingServer, though that still needs to be confirmed. CC @lawnjelly @clayjohn who can maybe advise how to debug further.

AThousandShips commented 1 year ago

Could it be related to initializing the text server? Not sure what's happening when loading fonts and data there? For project startup, can we test with the fallback server (afair the advanced server is required for the editor)?

This hypothesis could be tested by adding --text-driver Dummy on the command line (it will break all text rendering, but if it's much faster, that would indeed be a good indication of the culprit).

Does this only occur on the first startup? See https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/74292.

AThousandShips commented 1 year ago

This is for compatibility, which afik doesn't use cache in 4.0.x

Does this only occur on the first startup? See #74292.

It happens every time on the following three occasions:

starting project manager
opening a project
running a project

Gold standard would be for the OP to run a profiler on their machine, with a build that contains program database so that can give function names. e.g. https://github.com/VerySleepy/verysleepy works on windows.

For the build, I am not sure whether @Calinou or @akien-mga have any builds available with program database.

It's kind of hard to guess otherwise. Also it could be something GPU side causing the slowdown, which might not show on the CPU profile (but it would hopefully show a lot of time waiting for the GPU).

I have https://github.com/Calinou/godot-debug-builds but it doesn't have 4.0.1-4.0.3 yet, only 4.0.

Update: I'm having the same issue also with Godot 4.1

Another curious thing I've noticed is that one day I ran the editor as usual and it was super fast. But then (the next day, it was again super slow)

Updating your Godot version and/or graphics driver invalidates the shader cache, so shaders must be compiled again.

I was experiencing similar issues - with 20 second or more delays between pressing run and app execution. It also displayed this behaviour off and on which I don't think was related to driver updates as it was too erratic:

"Another curious thing I've noticed is that one day I ran the editor as usual and it was super fast. But then (the next day, it was again super slow"

I simulated a clean install by deleting:

.godot in my project folder appuserdata project folder [AppData\Roaming\Godot] AppData\Local\Godot folder

and the problem went away. Worth trying?

I upgrade my PCs GPU running Fedora Linux from NVIDIA GeForce 1050 TI to AMD Radeon RX 7600 and this issue started happening to me too. Everytime I open or run a project it takes a very long time. Everything else runs smoothly.

Which Godot version are you using? Do you see a warning about Vulkan pipeline cache when starting the editor or project? This should only appear on the first startup of each project, not every time. See https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/81150.

This is my Terminals output, when running Godot 4.1.1 and getting a long delay (about 20 seconds) on project opening:

MaasTL commented 1 year ago

Alright so I just updated my Fedora System with todays System Update AND uninstalled the NVIDIA Graphics Drivers Control Panel And the delay is gone! I can't particularly address if it was the update or the uninstall as I did them at the same time before testing again. Now I'm feeling kinda stupid, as this doesn't seem to be a Godot 4.x issue anymore :(

PS: As for this issue not being only Godot 4.x related: It also occurred when using Bevy Engine. So I think it's more of a Vulkan -> Linux -> new Radeon 7600 issue.

Hi all, just throwing my info in the ring. I just recently started having this issue yesterday (which was November 19th, 2023). I've been using the same version of Godot (v4.1.1.stable.official.bd6af8e0e) for a couple of months now. Up until yesterday, booting was very snappy.

Then, starting yesterday, I clocked the start up time (with my cell phone's stopwatch, not terribly scientific, I know) to about 32 seconds. This occurs on pretty much all aspects of Godot:

Project Manager
Running a Project from the Editor
Running a Single Scene from the Editor
Running the Compiled Executable Project

I downloaded a newer version (with C# support) (v4.1.3.stable.mono.official.f06b6836a) and it has the same issue.

The only thing I did on yesterday before this started happening was reboot my computer for unrelated reasons. The issue began after restart. This reboot did not apply any OS updates to my knowledge.

This makes me think that something on my machine changed when I rebooted? But I don't know what. I've restarted my machine before without running into this issue.
