Hi and welcome to the forums!

I will need to make a guess, but the issue seems to be that you are using an older version of LOVE (something before 0.0.9; either 0.8.0 or something similar), which had those fields in the conf.lua file, but the newer versions don't.

If you don't have old hardware, there is no reason to use such old versions.

If you are using Windows or OS X, do download the latest release;
If you are using some kind of Linux, then there are a few options available, but you should get the appimage or ppa with the version number "11.3", since that is the latest.

There are links to all of those on the homepage.

Feel free to ask for clarification, if it is needed!

Oh, we also have a Discord server where people can respond faster.

From the symptoms, it sounds like the opposite: that the OP is trying to run a program made for Löve 0.8.0 or before in a more modern version.

Shio, take a look at this project: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=85935, it might help you run it.
