Release Candidate on the horizon we continue to release beta snapshots frequently and relentlessly! This beta includes a few big changes which may interest a lot of users: Fixes to CanvasItem draw methods to better handled lines of different widths and filled rectangles ( GH-41239 , GH-71623 , GH-71679 ).

As such we expect that this beta 11 might introduce some new GDScript regressions, which we’ll aim to fix for beta 12 next week.

And on startup, the collider doesn’t change position, but the renderer mesh and character controller move and hit this collider. And added a new element to the collision matrix, which was used to separate the player. I added a collider to the node where the character controller is. I solved my problem like this.
