Unable to use obs-vkcapture for HGL games.
I'm trying to use the obs-vkcapture wrapper for HGL games. In Steam, this is done by simply adding obs-vkcapture %command% in the launch options, but I don't know the equivalent for this in HGL, if there is one. I tried adding obs-vkcapture as a wrapper in the game's advanced options, but that just causes the game to exit immediately.

👍 I will try these
These are installed, how do I use these with HGL now?

You just close both obs and heroic and launch them again
Now your wrapper should work
This is a one time thing ( close and open part ) because you just installed it
Ofc assuming your OBS is flatpak as well
( probably is, Bazzite would likely only keep Steam as native, rest would be Flatpak i guess)

OBS was actually installed in an Arch distrobox and the AUR, Heroic is actually running through flatpak outside the aur, as is vkcapture lol
But it works so that's all that matters, TYSM
