OBS not capturing Lutris video game properly

I installed Guitar Hero III from my retail disc and got it up and running fine, but OBS can’t record it correctly no matter what settings I use in OBS. The output is way way too dark.

My distro I am using is CachyOS so Arch based.

i5 12400F CPU
32GB 3200 RAM
RX 480 8GB.

I also can only use H.264 (CPU encode).

Radeon one never works, CPU AV1 never works either.
OBS just throws muxer errors.

I installed OBS through the command line from the AUR.

Any help would be awesome.

I have a dedicated capture rig.

Nothin fancy, just an old PC with capture cards
Built it for less than $200

highly recommend

If you’re getting muxer errors either your OBS and ffmpeg version are out of sync and you need to rebuild the package, or you have some weird-ass codec config in the video settings.

For recordings just use simple mode Indistinguishable quality and enable hardware encoding. If it still doesn’t work get a proper OBS log (Menu → Help → Log Files).

USB-Capture card used as a camera in OBS also works, no need for a secondary machine.
