Hey everyone. Most of you have been complaining about the quality and freezing of my stream. I did some research and figured it out.
Constantly lag/buffer for EVERYONE IN EUROPE!

Twitch, isnt it about time to fix your shit? For several months now the whole freaking Europe has issues due to stream lag/buffer. And when finally this genius comes with an addon to our browser so we can use US servers wich contains no lag/buffer, and THEN you "fixed" that, so now it doesnt work anymore.
Cant handle other random people doing a better job than you guys? Come on. Give us some updates on this issue. Its really about time!!!!
All my friends (IRL and online) who uses Twitch has the same issues. I got 40/40 fiber connection. i7-3770k@3,9Ghz, 16GB 1600Mhz RAM, GTX 770 and running OS on SSD. So my computer or internet connection is not the issue here.
You seem to answer everyone else than the ones having this issue.
Hey Lekram!
Yesterday I got it confirmed for myself that it's all on Twitch's end, it's obvious that the update in December 2013 ruined shit for everybody except partnered streamers and only a few not partnered can get past.
As stated in my earlier questions and thoughts I could stream perfectly fine in September 2013, and there we have it.
Now we just have to wait for an update again that will fix this or else we shall depart from Twitch for good and find a new place we can call home.
I know most of you don't live in the U.S and that may be the problem when viewing my stream and i'm sorry.
So, the answer to giving you a good stream is to become a partner.
There is only one problem with this..
Requirements
To qualify as a Twitch Partner, we look for:
- Average concurrent viewership of 500+ (not just a one-time peak)
- Regular broadcast schedule of at least 3 times a week
- Content that conforms to our Terms of Service and DMCA Guidelines
Minimum broadcast requirements are a general guideline. Exceptions are handled on a case by case basis. We're always excited by broadcasters who stream unique games!
HOWEVER, the 2nd bold might help. I'm submitting an application and i'll be adding xwis information along with some of my ranks to help sway them in a good direction.
I'm also going to add a link to this topic hoping that they can see that you guys want to see my stream.
I stream for you guys and it's only ra2. I often refuse to stream due to the lag everyone receives and then complain about it.
So, what I need from you guys is to give me some input. Help me, help you! Let them know that you do want to watch my stream by posting it on here and lets hope they check this place.
I'll keep you updated.
