LÖVE 11.2 released - including Android APK!

[slime]

For some reason 11.2 ignores my vsync setting and causes my game to run over 60FPS, which in my project actually makes it very laggy. I have vsync set to true both in the conf.lua file and being set with the setMode function.

macOS 10.14.

My game also runs incredibly quickly on 11.2 (similar to Jasoco) but setting vsync to an integer in conf.lua does not appear to affect the game's render speed.

macOS 10.14 has a broken implementation of OpenGL vsync unfortunately. Hopefully it will be fixed in an OS update. There's nothing we can do to fix it on our side.

It works in 11.1 because that was built with the macOS 10.13 SDK and macOS 10.14 uses legacy codepaths internally when running it (it's also why dark mode doesn't work properly in love 11.1 but does in 11.2).

I guess this would be a pretty good reason to move away from OpenGL and onto Vulkan or something like that?

LÖVE 11.2 for Android also includes fixes to support the Play Store after recent Android changes

can I use this to export to playstore yet?

I noticed there's no 11.2 APK on the bitbucket, is it just pending or is it RIP?

Good news, a workaround has been implemented in SDL: https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/73f3ca85ac0e
The next version of love will include a version of SDL with that change.

Pending. You can see some recent commit activity here: https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love- ... ommits/all

Not to rush you or anything, but do you think there will be a 11.3 or will this fix be reserved for something like 12.0?

There will be a version 11.3.

Great job, I migrated my game to Love 11.2! I like the new stuff!

Great. So I should just stick to 11.0 for now? (I don't have 11.1. Just 11.2 which ignores vsync no matter what value I use because of the bug) 11.0 has worked perfectly for me so far. If 11.1 still works, where can I find that? (I keep every Löve version I download for testing older projects when needed)

11.0 and 11.1 crash in macOS 10.14. love 11.3 will include an updated version of SDL which has working vsync on macOS.
