Black window whenever starting a project.

Question

Hello!
I posted about this over on the discord but didn't get any answers. I'm 100% new to game dev and my computer may be a bit under powered but basically I was following a tutorial and got up to 5:20 where he launches his first project. Only I see no editor or UI of any kind. Just a blank, black window. I tried switching to the .NET version and that only added a new issue (error message telling me to switch to 6.0 SDK) which I managed to resolve, however the all-black window remains.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, restarting my comp, updating my computers drivers and searching the web for updates to my graphic's card's drivers but there are none. I'm working off a laptop, HP Spectre, graphics card is Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620, Win10 (the rest of my specs are in a pic). I'm also using the most recent version of Godot put up on the website 4.2.1. Hope this is enough info to start figuring this out!

Answer 1

The issue here seems to have to do with me starting the project set to the "Mobile" renderer as opposed to "compatibility" The guy in the Tutorial uses mobile and I should have just tried another renderer.

Oh well.

It's the intel drivers. Xe Graphics may fair better with the Vulkan render and newer GLES.

Just a blank, black window.

The console reports that the "Project is missing". Try to start the project from a local disk. In general, it is a bad idea to use OneDrive — it causes a lot of problems. And, if you don't program in C#, use the usual version of the engine.

It is recommended to start studying from the official documentation.

Make sure your Intel graphics drivers are up to date (both OpenGL and Vulkan). The automatic MSFT Windows Update service doesn't necessarily update Intel drivers.
