Although Ibai was once again the protagonist of the great event of this 2023, the well-known are the server problems that Twitch suffered during The Year’s Eve 3in which thousands and thousands of users could not join the live once the figure was reached record of 3.4 million live.
And that is an important fear for the preparations for The Evening 4, which aspires to be historic again among, not only in terms of boxers, but also artists, as expected. And with that goal, Ibai has met with Dan Clancy, CEO of Twitchwhich responded to those problems and promised solutions for the future.
It all started with him what happened on the servers that nightand Clancy admits that they thought they were prepared, but they found themselves again with the biggest event in the platform’s history: «A large number of users had problems with excessive buffering that prevented them from following the event. And that got worse as the number of viewers grew.«. Although the latter was also affected by the internet itself, since some users experienced greater buffering due to the simple overload of the internet in their area.
«The resolution of the video is what determines the number of bits that are sent. And there is a limit on the number of bits that can be sent and a limit on the internet itself. One solution is to reduce the resolution and this way you can manage the event with more people. But if you change the resolution mid-event, it only affects new users, those who were already enjoying the original resolution«. A solution that did not help as much as they would have liked in La Velada 3, so it is necessary to make changes.
Clancy promised Ibai that in the future The Year 4 Eveningthere is the implement changes so that this resolution can be changed for everyone, and thus be able to reach more people. Image quality may be lost, but more users will be able to enjoy the event, without having to connect hours before the start of the first fight. Although it is expected that next year, the servers will improve in terms of those bit limits.

Kudos to Ibai for always pushing the boundaries of streaming on Twitch! It’s exhilarating to see the gaming and livestream platform grow with such epic events. However, it’s paramount for streamers and viewers alike to have a seamless experience. Server issues during high-kick events can be a real setback. I’m optimistic after reading that Dan Clancy is addressing these challenges head-on. The compromise on resolution for more inclusivity speaks volumes about Twitch’s dedication to its user base. Eagerly awaiting The Year 4 Evening, hoping it sets new records while ensuring everyone enjoys it hiccup-free. Keep the stream dream alive!
