Multiple Twitch outages causing streams lags, chat malfunctions, more TwitchTwitch has been experiencing a string of technical difficulties across major facets of the site including its front page, lag on individual channels, as well as errors with the chat function, with more people reporting issues. Since mid December 2020 and into the new year, Twitch users have been reporting site errors from small hiccups to the site being entirely down at times. While these issues have been brief in duration, they\u2019ve been affecting multiple people at the same time. \u201cWe are working to resolve the issues causing the site not loading correctly. Thank you for your patience,\u201d the Twitch support page said on January 2. It had once again gone down for some people before picking back up again. This has been a recurring theme for the site. There\u2019s been three major occurrences in the last seven days that\u2019s been a focal point of discussion among the community. \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f We have recovered from the issue that prevented the site from loading correctly, and we\u2019re going to continue monitoring the situation. Thank you all for your continued patience and we apologize for the disruption. \u2014 Twitch Support (@TwitchSupport) January 2, 2021 These errors come in light of reports of increased ads for people who use the uBlock Origin plugin and the prevailing notion is that these outages are the result of Twitch\u2019s ongoing fight against these programs. \u201cYou may be using a third party tool or browser extension that is impacting site performance. For the Twitch experience, head over to Twitch.tv and support the stream,\u201d the Twitch notification sent out to some users read. It should also be noted that the platform has been increasingly implementing new add ons and experimental features to Twitch which could also be affecting the performance of the site. These outages can affect streamer and viewer alike. A large part of Twitch\u2019s strength is the live feedback between those broadcasting and those watching. Disconnections and errors that prevent features, like Twitch Chat, can derail entire channels and create a frustrating experience for everyone involved. It\u2019s unclear how long these interruptions will persist since they\u2019ve yet to let up and have been increasing in regularity for some time now. As the site continues to troubleshoot its problems, people are keeping an eye out for any more interruptions on Twitch similar to the ones that have been occurring so far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
