Question / Help OBS having trouble recording specific game

I'm having a strange issue with OBS. I'm trying to record Watch Dogs 2, just your average PC game using Direct3D11, except OBS doesn't like something about the game. I should mention that other recording software has no issue hooking in and recording this game, but OBS is the only one I've found that's cost-free and lag-free.

The issues:

- It almost never hooks into the game. I've tried as many settings as I can, but most of the time it just doesn't want to hook in.

- I said almost all the time, because occasionally it does hook in, but with major issues. Sound is never captured, and video is captured in less than 10% of my attempts. However, when it does record video, it fails to capture specific elements. Text is missing, characters and HUD elements are a solid black color, loading screens don't get captured at all, etc. Additionally, it never captures anything when the game is in Fullscreen mode, the 10% success rate is only in Windowed Mode.

What is it with this game that doesn't sit right with OBS? I wanted to record a playthrough, but I guess I'm not until this gets fixed. Log file is attatched.

Specs:

Intel Core i7-6700K

NVIDIA GTX 1080

16 GB DDR4 RAM

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Latest drivers and Windows updates, virus/malware/rootkit/etc scans come up clean. I work with computers for a living, the basic troubleshooting process comes naturally to me.

Okay, I fixed the black parts in Windowed Mode and the sound in Windowed and Fullscreen mode, but it still doesn't record the video part in Fullscreen Mode. I'm hoping someone knows the solution to this.
