The mentioned APUs don't support AMF_VIDEO_ENCODER_RATE_CONTROL_METHOD_LATENCY_CONSTRAINED_VBR mode returning AMF_NOT_SUPPORTED in respected API call. From what I understood here this will also be fixed on the AMD end at some later point.

The patch below is supposed to hotfix the problem. Update instructions:

  1. Download DesktopCapture-1.1.1.1086.zip
  2. Stop Rainway dashboard by exiting from system tray icon menu
  3. Press Win+R and type "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Rainway" which should open Rainway installation directory, descend to app-1.0.13 and locate DesktopCapture.dll file
  4. Backup existing file, such as by renaming to DesktopCapture-original.dll
  5. Extract new DesktopCapture.dll file from downloaded archive and put it in place of original renamed file
  6. Start Rainway again
