Does it work if you use a MeshInstance with a PlaneMesh (or QuadMesh) attached? You need to set the billboard mode in the SpatialMaterial in this case.

This solution will also perform better due to known performance issues in Sprite3D.

I tried with a PlaneMesh and QuadMesh, same results.

Just in case, i tried the same scene in my linux boot (same pc) and everything works well:

@zio-hub Try switching to the GLES2 renderer in the top-right corner. The GLES3 renderer is known to behave poorly on old/low-end AMD GPUs.

Same results with GLES2.

This exact thing happens to me too
I have Windows

Might have been fixed by #39867 which will be in 3.2.3. Once 3.2.3 releases, please let us know if it is fixed. Alternatively, you can build from the 3.2 branch to test if it works.

I switched to Linux and it works there...

You can test with 3.2.3 beta 1: https://godotengine.org/article/dev-snapshot-godot-3-2-3-beta-1

I know this is a little late, but I just ran into the same problem. I don't think this is an issue with Godot, seems to be an issue with the graphics drivers- I also have an AMD gpu. I fixed this by updating my AMD card drivers (2015 drivers to 2016) from device manager (my card was OEM and not a separate part so you might have to download from AMD's website if device manager can't update it). It also fixed a bunch of issues like particle effects not rotating properly.

This fixed the problem for me too. Thanks!
