We've published Godot Engine's first written vision statement, formalizing a decade of shared experience building, releasing, and maintaining it. This is intended to guide the Godot Foundation as we make decisions about where to allocate our resources. Read more: godotengine.org/article/godo...

Having to maintain running in both compat and Forward+ is a tax (I'd switch to fully compat if not for the intense shader stutter due to lack of precomp). Graphics driver issues are currently the biggest reason that I'd caution somebody considering switching to godot for their commercial studio.

I fully agree, it's incredibly frustrating that GPU driver updates tend to break Godot once in a while. We hoped switching to D3D12 by default in 4.6 would solve things, but it turns out GPU vendors also like to brick their D3D12 drivers occasionally.

It's not a Godot-specific issue though, I regularly see mentions of similar problems with Unity and Unreal games. But regressions in drivers get fixed faster when they're affecting one of the Big Two.
