Any update?

Apologies, but no. It appears that something on your PC is blocking the capture, but it's a difficult thing to track down what as I know nothing about what's installed on your system.

Conflicts with Game Capture: Other capture programs, Razer Synapse (disable heatmaps), graphics mods like ENBSeries and SweetFX, and any type of software or utility that displays an in-game overlay like EVGA Precision, MSI Afterburner, TS3/Mumble overlays, Dolby Axon, Raptr, Overwolf, etc. If you use D3DGear it must be uninstalled completely.

That's an incomplete list, but if you have anything similar, that could explain what is happening.

I'm going to attempt to look around, but do you have any tips on how to find something that could be blocking it? And I'm confused by what you mean by in-game overlay. Can you define?

Something like the Discord chat overlay, that shows up in the game to show you who is speaking, or a third-party performance monitoring tool (like Afterburner or PrecisionX) that draws something on top of the game. Steam has an overlay, but that one does not interfere with OBS, so don't worry about that one.

Could my graphics card have an active overlay? Nothing shows up in game, but it's just an idea.

nVidia has their overlay for display FPS and other info, but that one is also safe with OBS. I'm not sure about AMD, though.

Well I'm stumped. I'm going to continue looking through my files. I doubt my antivirus has anything to do with it, so that rules that out.

I looked through most (if not, all) of my files and nothing jumped out at me. I got this PC a relatively short time ago, and the only things I've downloaded is your basic Winrar, Steam, Discord, Skype, Groove, Spotify, OBS, and other everyday programs. Can't quite find the problem.

I should also mention I just downloaded the new update for OBS, seems to have just come out. Sorry for the message spam!

Well, in that log:

Code: 
19:57:36.767: [game-capture: 'Game Capture'] attempting to hook fullscreen process: chrome.exe

With studio mode, you have to transition the scene before it will appear live. This is by design, as that's the primary goal of studio mode; to allow you to edit scenes without your viewers seeing, and then transition them.
