Installation problem

Post by Hydra »

Before posting here I did make sure to read the forum rules as well as search for any other threads that might solve my issue, and was unable to find any solutions. I've installed love, and have the "LÖVE 0.7.2 for Windows" package, and every time I try to run the love application a blank window appears, freezes up, and I get a message "love.exe has stopped working." then it closes.

Maybe i'm missing something here, but any help or direction would be appreciated.

What are your computer's hardware specs? What Windows version do you use?

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

I've also completely uninstalled the program and tried a fresh re-install, no dice.

Sorry for pushing this up, but I'm facing the same problem.
I haven't analyzed this much but can say that this only occurs in windowed mode.
If I activate fullscreen I don't get "love.exe has stopped working".

Specs:
Win7 64Bit
i7-2630qm
Nvidia GT555m
latest driver 285.62
Löve 0.7.2

update:
Running as administrator or in compatibility mode (e.g. winxp, vista) didn't change anything.
And I forget to mention that this does'nt have to occur right at start up and the .love-applications
can run fine for a few seconds (this differs).

Maybe try downloading LÖVE 0.8.0(newest version) at http://www.love2d.org/builds
then scroll all the way down and get the version for your computer?

It's 0.8.0, not 8.0.0!

Yeah, if it were 8.0.0 it would probably be running on everything from computers to phones and tablets to consoles to blenders and refrigerators.

Such a nice dream.

Sadly this doesn't help :(

I also found two reports at the Bitbucket which are similar:
https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/issue/2 ... mmediately
https://bitbucket.org/rude/love/issue/1 ... hen-stdout
(I tried the sdl.ddl from the latter, didn't help)
