    Twitch.tv 5 sec lag

    Hello

    For some time now i just can't watch a stream on twitch.tv without it lagging every 5 sec.
    Before i thought it was my pc but now even with a much better one i still get lag spikes - audio if fine most of the time.Changed the ISP as well.
    Is it maybe chrome / flash / java related ?
    Anyone know a fix for this , it's really annoying trying to watch a stream that lags every so often.
    I also did a ip trace that looked ok so i have no idea wtf is going on

    Clear your cache on whatever browser you're using.
    Also, actually reporting the issue to twitch helps (at least in my experience). If you have lag just press the wrench icon next to the fullscreen one, and report the issue you're having.

    Can also be internet speed related.

    Hi guys. I wrote a post on how to fix this but I can't post it here. I also had this problem but some awesome guys from reddit helped me fix it. I essentially condensed the thread and made it into a quick and dirty read through and tutorial.

    Can you copy/paste it here? Or post a broken link that I can then fix (e.g. www. google. com)?
