OBS Studio is very buggy on XFCE

I need OBS Studio for Videos I have to create.

But the Arch Linux Package is very buggy on XFCE.
Anyone noticed this too?

sadly this is true, I’m having many issues as well, both in the audio and graphic compartment.
Upon doing some researches, I found this thread that sheds some light at least on the theme bugs that seemingly only affect Manjaro.
About the audio, after some time the effects start lagging, but in this case I have no clue what’s causing it.
Good luck!

Maybe try the flatpak. It is the official package.

the flatpak works much better, unfortunately there is still no option to manually select the VST directory, and so I am stuck with the basic bundled filters. Thanks for helping!
