Godot 4.2 Released: Taking The Open-Source Game Engine Up a Notch
======
Another update to Godot with useful changes to close-in on proprietary
options like Unreal, Unity, etc.
[Godot][1], the community favorite alternative to proprietary game engines such as Unreal and Unity, has a new major update!
**Godot 4.2** has “ _arrived in style_ ” with loads of updates across the board. It continues in the path that the [Godot 4.0 release][2] paved, and builds upon it.
Grab a beverage of your choice, as I highlight the good things about this release ☕
**Suggested Read** 📖
![][3]
### Godot 4.2: What's New?
There are plenty of new things with the Godot 4.2 release. But, we will focus on the **key highlights** :
* **Official ARM Support on Linux**
* **Editor Improvements**
* **More Version Control Friendly**
* **Enhanced Tilemaps**
* **Improvements to Multiplayer/Networking**
* **Better Navigation System**
#### Official ARM Support on Linux
Even though it was possible to manually build Godot for ARM-based devices on Linux, there was **never an official ARM build for Linux**.
However, that has now changed with the Godot 4.2 release. They have provided both **32-bit and 64-bit versions of Godot for ARM** on their downloads page.
Keep in mind that this is **an experimental undertaking** , so expect bugs and issues.
![][4]
#### Editor Improvements
![][5]
There have been many improvements on the editor side of Godot.
As illustrated by the screenshot above, the first one is a new addition to the code editor called “ **Code Region** ”. It allows you to **break up scripts into named blocks** , which can then be minimized to lessen clutter.
![][6]
Another new addition to Godot is the **ability to extend each side of box shapes individually within the editor viewport**. Previously, this was only limited to the center point and symmetrical extents.
![][7]
The **project manager also sees an update** , the general project import workflow has been improved alongside a rearrangement of buttons.
#### More Version Control Friendly
Godot 4.2 comes with a fix to an issue where changing scenes or renaming nodes during 'ready' would lead to crashes, various issues related to renaming/moving files were also fixed.
The developers also added:
> Also, some cases of sporadic changing of resource IDs in scenes have been solved ([GH-65011][8]). There is still room for improvement, but this already makes 4.2 way more version control friendly.
#### Enhanced Tilemaps
![][9]
Alongside **major performance optimizations to the tile/tilemap system** of Godot, there is a new feature that allows you to **rotate or flip a tile/tile pattern** while placing them anywhere.
#### Improvements to Multiplayer/Networking
This release also features **improvements for the high-level multiplayer system;** the ' _MultiplayerSynchronizer_ ' node now supports syncing of transform components, sub-resource properties, and other types of indexed data.
There is also **a security fix for a denial-of-service vulnerability** that was previously disclosed with the Godot 4.0.4 RC1 release.
📋
The developers recommend that users upgrade to Godot 4.0.4, 4.1.2, or 4.2 to avoid issues.
#### Better Navigation System
![][10]
Godot 4.2 brings about **navigation mesh baking for 2D** , it can handle physics bodies, mesh instances, plain polygons and more.
Furthermore, **support for multi-threading was added** for 2D and 3D navigation mesh baking for improving performance, and reducing stutters.
#### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements
There are plenty of other changes worth noting:
* Improvements to the [GDExtension][11] system.
* Support for AMD's [FSR 2.2][12] tech.
* A **major rework** of the graph-building nodes.
* **Native file selection** dialog for Linux, Windows, and macOS.
* It is now possible to **specify a different install folder** for add-ons and assets.
* **A fix for the Steam Input issue** that caused some gamepad events to be handled twice.
For more details on this release, you can through the [official release notes][13].
