Oh wow, this extension so wow.

Actually, this fixes everything for me. Well done. TeamLiquid's tech magician R1CH does it again.

I've been VPNing to San Francisco (from France) all of summer because of the abysmal Twitch performance from here

I also use a VPN these days, connect to Chicago though. My own connection? Maybe High works. With VPN? Two Source streams no problem.

In my quest to reduce the amount of lag I experience on Twitch streams in Europe, I discovered that the European Twitch servers seem to perform worse than the US servers for me. So I developed a Chrome extension that uses some proxy trickery to try to redirect your connection to a US Twitch server.

Used in conjunction with my "Experimental Twitch Proxy", this has resulted in a massive improvement in my ability to watch Twitch lag-free. Maybe it will for you too! Give it a try!

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/twitchtv-europe-lag-fix/hkoehmlkhjgaboegkondkciclminpjof?hl=en

Some downsides: non-partnered streams seem to be region-locked, so the US server won't allow you to connect. This will result in a 5-10 second delay when loading - the extension will detect that the server didn't let you connect, and send a redirect request so that you connect as normal. It is incompatible with any other PAC extensions (usually country bypass extensions). Also, this may not help at all for you, it's very likely ISP dependent.

That is very interesting because for me it is the other way around. I block the NA servers with a firewall to get a lagfree experience on EU ones. Kind of puzzles me, that it is the other way around for so many people.

As far as I know, when the EU ones are "filled" twitch redirects you to east coast NA servers, that's probably why. Your ISP probably has decent routes to EU twitch datacenters.

Amazing plug-in. Thank u very much, finally with a 150mb connection I can watch Twitch as I am supposed to watch it. I wonder why 1 single man do it when a whole Twitch team cant fix the issues. Or maybe they just dont bother and focus on thinking of monetizing their website.

Well, not really. If you open a stream you initiate a connection to a Twitch server at 192.16.71.174 (in the US; probably their main datacenter). It then gives you (I assume via some sort of loadbalancing) a server to connect to. This can be anywhere depending on the result of the load-balancing. What I do is blocking NA ones, so if I get a NA server from a loadbalancer I can't connect and automatically send a new request for a server. It is basically like refreshing the browser window untill I get a server I want.

But that was not what made me wondering. I am just puzzled that for many people NA servers seem good and EU ones bad, while for me it is exactly the other way around.

Thank you so much man. I was never able to watch streams on source quality without lag but this seems to have fixed it.

6 months ago i could watch like 12 "source" streams without issues on my 1gbit connection, but lately anything above high just goes to shit... Not anymore! Source seems to run close to flawless! Thank you so much!

i tested it out, doesn' t seem to change that much. The lag usually appears in the first 30 seconds of stream connection for me, after that it stabilizes and goes away; in the end i would prefer waiting 10 seconds and have that go away. Stupid italian internet, i' m going to try this again

I very appreciate it!
I noticed that "source" doesn't have a fix value. low is always at 350kbps, medium at 800kbps and high at 1600kbps. source from artosis is 1623 kbps, elfi with 2372 kbps.

Doesn't work for me, my ISP routing is too shitty for anything to help. Awesome work anyway, it seems to work for many others :o
