Question / Help Trouble with Dead by Daylight - Black Screen

Hello,

I am having some trouble with getting a black screen when I try to record Dead by Daylight on my -main- computer:
Code:
Motherboard: MSI B450-A PRO AM4
CPU: AMD Ryzen 2600
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1070-8G (Gigabyte)
RAM: 2x8GB DDR4-2600
Windows 7 Ultimate Edition

Some things I've already tried:
  • Running OBS as admin
  • Reinstalling OBS
  • Restarting computer
  • Removing all "conflicting" sources -- screen capture, webcam, everything but the game capture
  • Toggling Anti-Cheat hook in source config
  • Updating graphics driver
  • Updating windows
  • Disabling steam overlay
  • Disabling all other programs and overlays unrelated to the game or OBS.
Notably, it does work if I capture the entire screen, but that is CPU-cost prohibitive, dropping my game from 130+ to around 20fps.

Log file attached. There's an interesting bit where it seems that it's trying to hook the game, but failing:
Code:
20:35:50.252: [game-capture: 'DBD'] attempting to hook process: DeadByDaylight-Win64-Shipping.exe
20:35:50.254: [game-capture: 'DBD'] using helper (compatibility hook)
20:35:50.266: [game-capture: 'DBD'] hook not loaded yet, retrying..

However, I'm not able to find out what is causing this.

The capture works fine on my secondary computer:
Code:
Motherboard: Gigabyte B250-HD3
CPU: Intel I5-7500
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1070-8G (Asus)
RAM: 1x8GB DDR4-2133

Any assistance is very much appreciated.
