cant open godot project in 4.2

Question

I have a game I made which I started working on in godot 4.1 and now I wish to switch to godot 4.2, however, when I open the project in godot 4.2, I get the message "This project was last edited in godot 4.1. Opening it will change it to godot 4.2. Open anyway? Project will be modified." I select yes, then godot just crashes and in the console I don't see any errors. Could it have anything to do with the fact that I am using an addon (godot jolt)? Has this happened to anyone else?

Could be possible. Did you try deleting your .godot directory?

Answer 2

thanks for the answer. after I deleted the .godot directory godot did not crash, but it said "some extensions need the editor to restart to take effect" and after I select restart it crashes (and then continues to crash if I open it again until I delete the .godot folder again). so it appears that the extension is in fact the issue. I guess I'll just wait until a new godot-jolt version comes out which is compatible with godot 4.2

The project manager mentioned the godot-jolt issue here:

...that's a known issue, you need to update it or remove it before moving to Godot 4.2, as it's older version is not compatible and crashes.
