Your video will be blocked and unviewable in most countries, including the US, on Youtube 100% of the time if it includes the copyrighted music in the game. We suspect this audio is in Chapter 8, but have not fully confirmed which part of the OST causes videos to be blocked in most countries.

For runs to be verified, they must be completely viewable, so this poses a problem for submissions. Your submission will be denied if it's not viewable and blocked in countries, but due to this issue, submissions without audio or with music will be accepted.

Here are the recommended solutions:

1. Mute the music audio in the game settings.

2. If you do not mute the music, please stream the run on Twitch and Highlight the VOD of your PB. It will automatically mute copyrighted audio segments and allow the video to be viewable 100%. If you choose this method, you must have the option to save past broadcasts enabled on your twitch channel. (Tutorial: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/video-on-demand?language=en_US#:~:text=You%20can%20navigate%20to%20this,to%20enable%20or%20disable%20archiving.) .

From there you must turn the past broadcast into a highlight, so that it does not expire. Past broadcasts alone expire for non-prime users within 14 days, 90 days for prime users. Your submission will then be acceptable.

my runs been up a while ago so idk if anything changed in the copyright on youtube, but the culprit in my run was the song playing in the second/third rui fight. there was 2 problematic spots and 1 of them was at least third rui fight. not sure about the other or if the song played twice.

when i uploaded it to youtube it tells you the parts dat inflict copyright infringment so i know it is an issue. and my video still has the rui song muted so i know dat one for sure. unless they changed it since release.

We suggest to mute the in-game BGM Audio slider before recording and submitting runs over all else. If you've already done your run and it's become unavailable, you can just mute as the alternative but we prefer BGM muted only at this point in time.

Hey folks. Apologies for going off-topic, couldn't find another place to write this. There are some approved runs using a 60fps mod on PC. This is not the 60fps option in the menu, it's a mod. It significantly speeds up cutscenes, and the quick time events during the butterfly mansion. Do we wanna leave these as legal? Mods are usually a no-no.
