    In Game Overlay Issue

    Hi I am a frequent streamer of PlanetSide 2 and I love the new in-game overlay you guys have added to the RTST.

    Unfortunately I have an issue with it. It will not be captured by OBS unless I run PS 2 in windowed full screen and have OBS do a window capture of the game. Now for most people this would not be an issue but I have a G-Sync monitor and the only way G-Sync works is if you run the game in full screen which only allows me to capture the game through Game Capture and hooking directly into the game. Fortunately the in game overlay is still visible to me but I would like my viewers to be able to see it as well.

    I have attempted many work a rounds to attempt to get it visible with no success.

    I have attempted to run all 3 pieces of software in administrator mode. I have opened all of the software in various orders to see if that works with no success. I managed to have OBS capture the in-game overlay one time but as soon as I alt-tabbed and came back into the game the overlay was in-accessible again.

    Currently I have two choice. Run with G-Sync and have the viewers to unable to see the overlay or run without g-sync so viewers can see the overlay. The decision is obvious, once you go G-Sync you don't go back.

    Perhaps this isn't even a G-Sync issue but just a full screen capture issue that I am derping with. Unfortunately I know not everyone that uses the software streams so this is a small part of your community being affected by this (IF I am not the only one unable to get the in-game overlay visible in OBS) and to complicate things more I know G-Sync users that are streamers are far less common so If it is in fact a G-Sync issue I'd probably be the only one you would be looking for a fix for.

    I'll continue attempting different settings within OBS and PS2 to see if I can get OBS to capture the in game overlay but if anyone has any suggestions or a solution I would greatly appreciate the help.

    **Edit** Here's some possibly useful information that I should have included originally.
    OS Windows 8.1 x64
    Recursion v0.9.2.5
    CPU 4770k
    GPU GTX 670 FTW 4GB
    GPU2 GTX 560 1 GB (PhysX Card)

    Thanks
