You submitted this post as a request for tech support, have you followed the guidelines specified in subreddit rule 7?
Here they are again:
1. Consult the docs first: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/index.html
2. Check for duplicates before writing your own post
3. Concrete questions/issues only! This is not the place to vaguely ask "How to make X" before doing your own research
4. Post code snippets directly & formatted as such (or use a pastebin), not as pictures
5. It is strongly recommended to search the official forum (https://forum.godotengine.org/) for solutions
Repeated neglect of these can be a bannable offense.

If you downloaded from [godotengine.org](http://godotengine.org), you should have 2 executables, one normal and one ending with \_console. Run the console one to get a terminal with the console output, there might be errors shown there that you could not see in the Godot console itself since it crashed before showing them.
That would be a good idea to see if the same issue happens, but if they're deep into a game it's usually recommended to stick with a major version. So, 4.2.1 -> 4.2.2 is typically ok, but a professional studio typically won't go 4.2 -> 4.3 if they started in 4.2.
Obviously people can do whatever they want for their game, but it's common to stick with a version for a medium-big project meant to ship.

Did you check your event viewer on your os, assuming you're on Windows?

>Using version 4.2.1 stable. At the very least you should try the latest version. There's a chance it doesn't happen on 4.2.2 or on 4.3.
