Hi guys, I've streamed every other game just fine, but for some reason with AC4 I get black screen. I have tried game capture, windows captures and monitor captures. All gives me black screens.

Why are you using Monitor capture? It's the slowest capture mode. Are you running the game in Windowed/Borderless mode? Have you tried using game capture?
