Chrome problems are puzzling and can affect performance.
Chrome problems are puzzling and can affect performance.
I've faced some odd problems with Chrome lately, possibly linked to hardware acceleration. Before, videos on YouTube would stutter slightly when it wasn't enabled, but smoothing things up helped. However, streaming Twitch has become slower and prone to random pauses. It seems the issue shifts depending on the platform I'm using. I recently changed from a NVIDIA GPU to an AMD one, and after some research, no one else seems to have reported similar issues. I've tried updating drivers, reinstalling graphics software, and even switching between Chrome and Firefox, but nothing seems to resolve it. Using Windows 7 x64 has been part of the challenge.
The latest Flash Player is unavailable, and Chrome updates are affecting it too.
