Really high cpu% usage running love games on mac

Post by tastypavlova »

Hi,

Every time I run a love game no matter how simple on both my 2017 imac and 2019 macbook pro, the cpu% usage skyrockets to 100 or more. If I run simply the love app without running a game the cpu usage is normal at around 5-7%. I have not noticed any major performance hit while the game is running (the game is a simple hello world, I'll link the code below). Here is the code:

Code: Select all

function love.draw()
  love.graphics.print("Hello World!", 400, 300)
end


I attached a picture showing the love process and the look of the game.

If you need more info let me know and I'll add it.

How long ago did you download love for macOS? There was a bug in the original release of 11.3 for macOS which caused high CPU usage and was fixed a few months ago: https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php ... 30#p231275

If you're using the most up to date build with the fix, the 'version' part of love.app's info should say 11.3b.
