- Only the BitBlt Capture method is supported. Wine [does not support `CreateDirect3D11DeviceFromDXGIDevice`](https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52487)

- No Video Capture Device (ie Webcam, OBS Virtual Cam). Wine [does not support DirectShow Device Enumeration](https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Hardware#restrictions:~:text=camera)

- Only applications running within the **same wineserver instance** can be recorded. Which means that if you want to record a Steam Game for example, you would need to run AutoSplit through Steam (add it as a non-Steam game) using the same Proton version as the target game.

- In practice, at the time of writing this, you can't even run AutoSplit through Proton yet, as even its Experimental version is still on Wine 10.0, and AutoSplit [requires Wine 10.1+](https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/releases/wine-10.1#:~:text=crealf)

- Requires Wine 10.1+ / Steam Proton 11+ (due to [added `crealf` implementation](https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/releases/wine-10.1#:~:text=crealf))

- Only applications running within the **same wineserver instance** can be recorded. Which means that if you want to record a Steam Game for example, you would need to run AutoSplit through the same Proton version as the target game, targetting the game's Wine prefix.

- For steam games, this can be made a lot easier using [`protontricks`](https://protontricks.com/): `protontricks-launch --appid <YOUR_STEAM_GAME> </path/to/autosplit.exe>`

- For regular Wine it would look somethng like this: `WINEPREFIX="</path/to/game/prefix>" wine </path/to/autosplit.exe>`
