+Last week, we released our first [Release Candidate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Release_candidate) snapshot for [4.6.2](/article/release-candidate-godot-4-6-2-rc-1/), and have since backported even more critical bugfixes. While we normally only need a single pass for maintenance releases, sometimes enough changes are integrated to warrant a second pass. So, once more for good measure: Godot 4.6.2 RC 2 is ready for general testing!

+
+## Known issues
+
+During the Release Candidate stage, we focus exclusively on solving showstopping regressions (i.e. something that worked in a previous release is now broken, without workaround). You can have a look at our current [list of regressions and significant issues](https://github.com/orgs/godotengine/projects/61) which we aim to address before releasing 4.6.2. This list is dynamic and will be updated if we discover new showstopping issues after more users start testing the RC snapshots.
+
+With every release we accept that there are going to be various issues, which have already been reported but haven't been fixed yet. See the GitHub issue tracker for a complete list of [known bugs](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug).
+
+## Bug reports
+
+As a tester, we encourage you to [open bug reports](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues) if you experience issues with this release. Please check the [existing issues on GitHub](https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues) first, using the search function with relevant keywords, to ensure that the bug you experience is not already known.
+
+In particular, any change that would cause a regression in your projects is very important to report (e.g. if something that worked fine in previous 4.x releases, but no longer works in this snapshot).
+
