So, I am trying to stream/record my gameplay of a visual novel game and everything goes fine and OBS captures everything perfectly, except for the (opening) cutscene(s) in the game. I get a dark purple (not black) preview screen during the cutscene, which returns to normal recording after the cutscene ends. I can hear the music of the opening but what is with this purple screen?

I am going to make an assumption that the game in question changes the sceen modes or goes fullscreen or something similar which causes the capture to break. If that is the case and you're using something like window capture or monitor capture, there might not be much you can do for the time being (outside of something like a capture device).

You also need to include a log file when reporting a problem you need help with: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/problem-make-sure-to-post-a-log-and-or-crash-dump-howto.97/

I don't understand what you mean by "screen modes" but I confirm that the cutscene stays within it's window. It does not go full screen. Also, I was using the GAME CAPTURE option.

Hm, if you're running it windowed, then it's possible that it's changing renderers for the cutscenes. It would be the most likely cause for game capture failing to work, though usually it would reinitialize with the new renderer. Still, I would probably recommend window capture if all else fails, and you happen to be running in windowed mode as it is.
