I'm not sure how you're trying to load the game exactly, but since you're on Windows, shouldn't the path separators be backslashes rather than slashes?

[grump]

You have to give the directory path where main.lua is located to love.exe, or the .love file if you have one. Not a single random lua file.

Follow a tutorial.

@Stifu Windows accepts forward slashes as well as backslashes (but cmd.exe doesn't because that's used for options)

I too need help loading a couple of games. That give errors.
Running: Peppermint Linux
Löve version 11.1

Trying to the game Mr. Rescue that is build on Löve '0.10.0' I get the following error:
Error

Code: Select all

bad argument #1 to '?' (ImageData expected, got Image)


Traceback

[C]: at 0x7ff9100bd130
[C]: in function 'newImageFont'
resources.lua:150: in function 'loadResources'
main.lua:66: in function 'load'
main.lua:211: in function <main.lua:207>
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
[C]: in function 'xpcall'

Also, while trying to run the game Going Home build on Löve '0.10.2' I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Thread error (Thread:0x02740740)
libs/love-loader.lua:0: libs/love-loader.lua:0:, bad argument #2 to 'constructor' string expected got no value

Do I need to downgrade to play those games? Any help would be welcomed.
Thanks

Do I need to downgrade to play those games?

If the devs did not update their games to make them run on 11.1, you need to use the LÖVE versions these games were build for if you want to play them in Linux.

Hi poojan Drag and drop the enteri folder where is located the *.lua file in your case "C:/Users/pooja/Downloads/love-11.1-win64/" into the love.exe file, if u use the installation file the location is in "C:\Program Files\LOVE"

Sorry for my english.

I had the same issue. The solution is calling the path but with not main.lua . For example:
love.exe C:\luaprojects\project1 instead of love.exe c:\luaprojects\luaproject\main.lua.
I hope it helps.

i also had this issue on windows 10.
it is easier if you set love.exe in Path variable. (u can do it by add path C:\Program Files\LOVE in env vars from control panel).
then from the directory where your .lua file is saved just type > love .
This will run the code correctly.
