first up it looks like you ran into the ATI bug the next version of love will have an workaround for that bug, also you have to change some settings in the folder you are using for your zip files in order to rename them, i can't tell you how to do it because its different on nearly all windows versions.

Put your main.lua into a new folder, and drag that folder onto LOVE icon. It's also good idea to post your code. You can zip it and post as attachement, or put the file in

Code: Select all

 tags on forum.

If you can't change .zip file extension, open Folder Options, and in the second tab IIRC, turn off hiding known extensions.

Unek was talking about this.

It could be the mentioned ATI bug. In this case you can test my LÖVE 0.8.0 build that has a fix for it.

Since the rubber piggy nogame screen apparently works for you, I assume there's something with your code that causes this issue. If my build doesn't work, we really need to see your code to help you further.

Also, it doesn't help if you color your text blue and red. It actually makes it harder to read.
