#GodotEngine 4.5 has finally arrived! 🎉 With this new release, we made meticulous efforts in order to amplify what is possible to do with our engine, guided by our goal of making gaming and game development for everyone! godotengine.org/releases/4.5/

I am having migration issues from 4.4 to 4.5 with my current project. I can get it to load in Recovery Mode and I end up with tons of shader compilation errors but nothing more than that. If I try to load normally the progress bar for opening the project gets all the way to 100% then freezes solid.

...with some effort, I finally traced the issue to the one and only third-party plugin I'm using, so I'm gonna have to wait for a 4.5-compatible release of the plugin before I can migrate. :P

Actually, with some effort I traced the problem down even further to the exact code which was causing issues in the plugin's script, thus I edited the plugin's code, reworked my own code to use the edits, and now it's working in 4.5 just fine! :D

The beauty of open source! (Might want to pass the change on to the plugin maintainer too)

This is what you do: On the repo page, click on fork. That'll make a copy of the repo under your control. You can clone it to your machine. Using Github desktop is probably the most user friendly way to do it. Do the modifications. Then commit, and push (with github desktop or whatever client).

With that you have a version of the repo with your modification, which other people can use. And, if you go to the repo page, you should see an option to make a pull request. Although I'm going to tell you to look for any extra guidance the author might have on how to make the pull request.
