Ricoh GR IIIx support is an actual problem
The Ricoh GR III and IIIx have been out for a number of years, and share the same sensor. So why are the colors and tone curves different? We urge you to finally add support for this very popular camera model. It would take so little effort.
Specific issues: GR IIIx files read as mushy, unsharp (as if noise reduction were cranked up). There is green/magenta banding in dark-to-light transitions. Histogram is compressed (highlights are flat).
I thought it was a bunch of pixel-peeping nerds raising a ruckus over a non-issue, but this actually is a real problem. Many examples on this forum. And bizarrely, changing the EXIF data to make C1 think it's a standard GR III (not IIIx) file, seems to make the issue go away. But that then introduces an incorrect lens correction profile.
I've spent tens of thousands of dollars on Capture One over the years, and have a lot of unease around the direction the company is heading. Would you just please, pretty please with sugar on top. Fix the god damn issue.

Can you not just nominate the GR III camera profile to be used per default for the GR IIIx?
BTW, you could also copy and rename the GR III camera profile, so that it appears as a GR IIIx camera profile, but that is not necessary for using it with the GR IIIx, IIRC.

Unfortunately it’s much more than an ICC mismatch, see my second paragraph. Changing to the GRIII color profile has a very different result than changing the metadata.
