This is still happening as per August 29th, 2024. Please fix this soon!

This has been happening to me for months. I've done everything I can think of, cleared cache and cookies, disabled extensions, tried new browsers, vpn, incognito, restarting both devices and internet connection, Chatterino. It's annoying! I want to be able to chat with my friends in real time. Even Chatterino keeps disconnecting! I know this isn't just an ISP issue because I have problems on mobile when I'm not home too!

Started getting E-Mail notifications for this **** again as new comments appear. You guys who are new to this have no idea... this **** hasn't been fixed in a decade now.
I have in the meantime
...moved completely
...had different ISPs
...used either no VPN at all or two different providers
...switched browsers
...opted for different OSs
...switched devices completely

There is no fix or at least no intent from twitch's side to attempt a fix.

This has been happening to me for a week please fix itss so annoying

Still happening. I have restarted modem/router, cleared cache, logged out and restarted devices. Still happening. Please fix. It started for me at the outset of May.

Happening here, whether wired or wireless.

May 21, 2024 - still happening. Full agreement here.

My phone and my PC are connected to the same wifi, PC via the Ethernet cable but this issue occurs only on my PC, and only on twitch official ways so I need to use Chatterino because it works just fine over there

About a month or so ago, this became a more regular problem for me. I started having to have Chatty open at the same time to make sure to not miss any messages (for modding). Strangely, Chatty never loses the connection, just the Twitch web client.

Still happening both on linux & mac, across firefox, safari and chromium... Really annoying to have to refresh every minute when modding or streaming to see if I missed anything...

Same issue, started this week (Tuesday/Monday?) I do not use a VPN, have done everything I know to do. Restarted system, restarted router/modem, cleared catches etc.. logged in out on devices for twitch, still occurring every x seconds it seems. This is happening in my OBS as well as the stream manager, so idk but it's SUPER annoying!

I am getting this on both Edge, Firefox, and OBS chat. FIX THIS! It started a couple days ago and I have been with my IP to try and diagnose the problem and we have ben through everything including if there is anything down along the nodes somewhere. So far, all come up fine. This is on your end!

11 years with twitch and I just start getting this issue and it is nonnnn stop every 20 seconds to minute. "Welcome to the chat room" Please do better. Bug randomly hitting people and threads going back for nearly 10 years... There is no way I would have a job in that department anymore for letting a bug go on for that long that really impacts communication with streamers. 90% of the time you don't even know if they received the message and you look like a idiot sending back to back messages.

I get so many reconnectiongs and "welcome to the chat room!" messages, i get one almost every 60 seconds even without a vpn i get them, my internet is fine i dont know how to fix that.

I never used a VPN, the issue occurs on different browsers and even twitch app, I tried everything to fix it but I don't know what to do anymore besides using Chatterino..

i dont and will never ever use vpn or that kinda stuff but i do have the problem with twitch chat and it is annoying as beep. when streamers have chat on their overlay i see that chat moving but my chat isnt and then all of the sudden.. chat is trying to reconnect blah blah. i also did not change any configurations or what ever. it just happened all of the sudden.

@DemonCeelin For me it was a background NordVPN process that was active even after I had closed NordVPN. You could check the Details tab under the Task Manager.

Started having this issue this week. Nothing has changed about my computer or network setup and I am NOT using Nord or any other VPN while streaming. I was not having the problem before Tuesday but now it is constant. I'm certain it's not my ISP as my D/L is 350Mbps and my U/L is 12Mbps.

My brother and I have both been having this issue across multiple computers, browsers and the mobile app, tried all the usual stuff but still consistently getting the issue across all of them. The only way we can stay connected to any chat is to use the twitch mobile app, disconnect from the wifi and use mobile data

For me, it only happens on my PC (Firefox with Surfshark via wireguard). It never happens on my iPhone, iPad or Android TV (no VPN).
