Twitch not working

Finally Katowice 2015 came around, was excited to see it. Then Chrome + Twitch dropped a bomb on me, making it freeze for like 15 seconds, work for 2 seconds, freeze again, eventually forcing me to close Chrome. I can't even get it to work in other browsers. Once, it said something about flash player. I reinstalled it, but it still does not work. What can I do to fix this Cr*p? I don't want to be forced to use my phone, but at the moment it is the only thing that works.

Edit: Now it is not only Twitch, the whole browser(Chrome) just took a dump.

Have you tried reinstalling Chrome? Or using a different browser entirely for now?

Reinstalled Chrome. Mozilla Firefox, as well as IE did the same thing, or just refused to load.

Hmm, I had a problem with Twitch for months on my computer where no streams would load no matter what, they ended up working again after upgrading my internet, not sure what to suggest unfortunately.

I got it somewhat working - if I only have 1 single tab open - definitely not enough for Katowice! :D

I have a feeling it is the Flash Player, but it won't let me update/install any further because it apparently is built in.

I believe you can disable the built in one if you go to chrome://plugins

Still doesn't work when I reinstall that way. :(

 

Edit: Starting to think it is something with my pc. Spotify just did the freeze thing once, but only once. Might have been a load thing for it though.

Low ram? Random slowdowns happen when ram has to get transferred to the hard drive.

 

Would also explain flash player crashing.

 

What did you do before?

Sound: Custom one pros, Audioengine A5+ with S8 sub.
