do NOT use visual studios "run" feature, using this (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pixelbyte-studios.pixelbyte-love2d) plugin, press f1 then type "launch love" (do not use launch love from the current working directory)
another thing you should do is remove the keybind for launch love from the current working directory.
Thats it! most of the folder name should help you navigate this maze of a game engine (.anm2 files are animation files). enjoy <3
