love.graphics.print doesn't do anything

[Wscb]

I downloaded version 0.10.2 and it seems to be working correctly. That's good enough for one game, I guess. Does it also require opengl 2.1? I don't want to run into a problem mid-development.

Ah crap this is probably related to the bug in version 11.0?

This was patched by slime and can be downloaded from his apveyor account in that post. I think this hasn't been published on the front page yet.

Try that out, if it works then we know whats up.

But I know there is a reference in the version notes for 11.0 that opengl requirements have changed.

It also occurs to me that your current drivers for your g-card may support a higher version of opengl, such as 2.1, which might explain something?

I just tried this application out:

It needs .net 4.0 to run and shows your graphics renderer and the opengl version that your system supports.

If it is, then apparently it wasn't just canvases that were affected, but font rendering as well; people just assumed since the test cases utilized canvases anyway, and if those don't show anything, the printed text wouldn't show up either...

But I know there is a reference in the version notes for 11.0 that opengl requirements have changed.

You mean this line?

Added per-Shader opt in support for the GLSL 3.30 and GLSL ES 3.00 shading languages.

That's still an opt-in thing, meaning it's not mandatory.

I think it was "Updated love.graphics to support Core Profile OpenGL 3.3+ when available."
Though I have no idea what this means

Doing some digging on the web:

"OpenGL(R) 3.0 introduced the concept of deprecation. A whole bunch of functionallity that can be implemented in software on either the CPU side or in shaders got marked for removal in future versions (i.e. 3.1).

Core profile means OpenGL(R) minus the deprecated functions, compatibillity profile means OpenGL(R) with the deprecated functions. The word compatibillity is meant in regard to older software, not older hardware. (CAD vendors didn't want to rewrite their decade old cruft)"

So what does 'when available' mean in the patch notes, and is this working correctly? If it is, and Love is falling to compatibility-profile (2.1) then I got nothing.

In short, "Updated love.graphics to support Core Profile OpenGL 3.3+ when available." means that if the GPU supports OpenGL 3.3, then löve will use it, otherwise it will use 2.1; all those core and compatibility profiles are things a löve user shouldn't worry too much about.

Unfortunately, this didn't fix the issue either.

I ran the application and under the OpenGL section of the summary it says: "version: 3.3". Does that actually mean my hardware can support version 3.3?
