Hey,
I’ve been using corona to make a couple of games so far. Everything was working fine until today. When I ran my game, I got this error in the console window:
12:07:28.395 WARNING: V1 graphics compatibility is deprecated. Some features may not work as expected
https://coronalabs.com/blog/coronageek/corona-geek-hangout-64/
I read on this blog post that there is an update to corona graphics 2.0 from 1.0. However, whenever I try to click on the “Graphics 2.0 Migration Guide” it just takes me to the corona docs page: https://docs.coronalabs.com/.
Could you please let me know if there is a guide to updating my graphics?
The following is a code from my config file for the graphics settings:
content =
{
graphicsCompatibility = 0,
width = 768,
height = 1024,
–scale = “adaptive”
scale = “letterBox”,
fps = 60,
imageSuffix =
{
["@2x"] = 2,
},
},
Thanks,
Suhas
To switch it to V2, it largely depends on the complexity. If you don’t have storyboard or sprite, I largely found it was removing the deprecated setxxxxcolor and switching it. (Adding /255 when changing the colours to something e.g.: 174/255)
Setreferencepoint was also removed, so there you switch it to AnchorX and AnchorY. The value you use is dependant on where the ref point was.
That got a lot of ‘examples’ working.
That said, graphicsCompatibility = 1 is a heck of a lot easier 
Thanks for reply. I changed my config file to the code below and I still get the same error. Any clue what I might be doing wrong? I have tried creating a blank project with the same config file and it gives me the same error. However, when I make the graphicsCompatibility = 0, I get no error now.
content = { graphicsCompatibility = 1, width = 768, height = 1024, --scale = "adaptive" scale = "letterBox", fps = 60, imageSuffix = { ["@2x"] = 2, }, },
The error message:
16:13:24.782 WARNING: V1 graphics compatibility is deprecated. Some features may not work as expected
16:13:24.782 WARNING: V1 graphics compatibility is deprecated. Some features may not work as expected
As you can see, this is a warning not an error. Because you have graphicsCompatibility set it’s warning you of possible unpredictable results. you can run with a warning.
Just wanted to post an update.
I took Idurniat and graham07’s advice and used graphicsCompatibility = 1.
I still get the warning message but everything seems to be working fine for me. Thanks for all your help guys :)!
I have been using graphicsCompatibility = 1 since it was first released and all works fine in my app. Now there is a warning I worry that maybe in the future even graphicsCompatibility = 1 will be depricated -Need I?
Personally, I would not rely on “backwards compatibility” going forward as this could very easily be removed.
Simply change your values from 0-255 to 0-1 (/255 if you have to) and anchor all your assets at the centre of the asset and you should be good to go.
