There is no bit operations library in Lua 5.1 (which LÖVE used to use until 0.9). LuaJIT (which LÖVE uses by default in 0.9.0 and 0.9.1) includes a bit library which you can use like so:

I'm not sure - using the native depth buffer actually doesn't work very well at all with most 2D games, because it only cares about geometry and not transparency (so it tests or writes the full rectangle of any image you draw, even if most of it is transparent.)
Alpha blending also requires blended objects to be drawn in back-to-front order otherwise the blending will be incorrect.

32 bit /
64 bit), and if so try replacing the SDL2.dll in 0.9.1 with the one from 0.9.0 and see if that makes a difference.
Does it happen with any LÖVE game (including the no-game screen), or just your own project? If you go fullscreen, does it still happen?
I can confirm that on Windows 8.1 switching over from the 0.9.1 SDL2.dll to the 0.9.0 SDL2.dll grants an immense FPS improvement (3 times more) on all love projects and not just mine.

I've been trying to use the require() thingy for quite some time now and haven't made any progress. But I need it - or something equivalent to it - to finish a small project that I've been trying to figure out (I.E. following Goature's tutorial). Should I just downgrade my LOVE?

You could try uploading a .love of your game so we can take a look at it.

How do I turn my files into .love?

Put them in a .zip, and then rename the .zip to .love, as seen on the wiki page [wiki]Game_Distribution[/wiki]. If you prefer, you could just upload a zip file of your game, it's just more convenient for us if it's a .love.

Alright, here's what I've got. I'm trying to make the entities.lua load with the main.lua, and I get that cheeky old bluescreen.

Replace
with
The string that is passed to
require is a module name, not a file name. A module called "foo.bar" can generally be found in "foo/bar.lua" or "foo/bar/init.lua", so your code is looking for "entities/lua.lua" and "entities/lua/init.lua" etc.
