Source Files and Love2D

[gdiazbanuelos]

When downloading the source files and installing the Love2D game engine, then launching run64, I get this image.

In the console I get this error:

[ERROR - 09:54:29] Thread error (Thread: 0x027f06f4e730)

I would like to make some changes but I can't get it to run in Love2D. Any help troubleshooting this would be appreciated! Thank you!

I am on Windows 11 if that helps to troubleshoot. It also seems that the auto-updater update broke the Love2D run64 shortcut. When I download version 2.0.4a and older, it all works correctly when launching run64

You can copy the ssl.dll from the portable install download to wherever love2d is installed. It's the Lua module lua-sec, that I had to compile and include myself, for the auto updater to work. Love2D 11 doesn't support HTTPS by default, which kinda sucks.

Thank you that fixed the issue!
