Question / Help Far Cry 4 PC: Game Capture failure

I've been having a dog of a time getting Far Cry 4 on PC to capture using OBS via game capture. It works when launching the game, but at a certain point in the startup (when I press a key to get to the main menu), OBS's display of the game capture "freezes" and any attempt from that point forward to get a game capture working fails. I don't get any error other than the "Cannot find window" notification in the status bar.

Here's the log; you can see in here that at one point I stopped the preview and started it back up again. On the restart of preview mode, it fails to hook into FC4 from what I can tell.

Any ideas? I've tried both with and without anti-cheat hooking, and there's no difference between full-on streaming and preview mode. I haven't encountered this problem in the past with other games.

I'll be happy to try anything else test-wise and report back if needed. It's a great game and I'd love to be able to stream it efficiently. :)

If Far Cry 4 Forces full screen mode you have to set the recording to 'monitor' not a certain tab (e.g. you may just record Minecraft Or Your web Browser As log as you dont go into F11 Mode)

I have been running it as a borderless window and am using game capture, not window capture. (I'm assuming that game capture has a performance advantage.)

I should note that as mentioned previously, I have not run into this problem with any other games yet.
