This RC 6 has a few notable changes compared to the previous build: In RC 4, async shader compilation and caching was enabled by default on desktop, but several users reported issues with it on some hardware. You can enable it in the Project Settings ( rendering/gles3/shaders/shader_compilation_mode ). Give it a try!

This can lead to a problem, when the movement of objects (which tends to occur on physics ticks) does not line up with the rendered frames, giving unsightly jitter. Switch on physics/common/physics_interpolation , and Godot will now automatically interpolate objects on rendered frames so they look super smooth. Give it a try!

Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. Highlights.

Before going into optimizing for multiple threads, let's first take a look at the typical order of execution of the main blocks of a game engine. This order of events can't be escaped, as logic affects physics and rendering needs both information from logic and physics to display. Physics pushes data to Rendering.
