Hello twitch community,
Lately i have been experiencing some heavy stuttering when watching streams. The ratio is about 60% buffering and 40% stream, when i use a VPN (Located in NL) its about 40% buffering and 60% stream. It really bums me out that i cannot watch a stream normally. It started about 5 days ago, before then it was flawless.
I just want to enjoy the streams with a decent quality ( 720p+ ) and without buffering every 10 to 15 seconds. Is this a global issue or is it just me? and how do i prevent stream from buffering?
Things i tried:
- Lowering the quality ( < 720p ) -> Same issue.
- Running thru a proxy -> Proxy was to slow to load stream.
- Running it thru a VPN -> Worked, same buffer issue
- Verify no torrents/downloads running -> Verified, none running.
- Watch on other devices (Mobile, laptop and desktop)
