Twitch: thousands report that the streaming platform is down or showing blank pages

twitch it has had its first fall so far this year. The streaming platform has presented problems on the afternoon of this Tuesday, January 3, and thousands of users assure that the website does not load, so they only see a blank page.

“We are investigating an issue that prevents various areas of Twitch from loading.”, points out Twitch support through his Twitter account. “We are actively working to fix issues affecting various areas of Twitch.. Thank you for your patience”, he adds.

???? We are actively working on a fix for the issues impacting multiple areas of Twitch. Thank you for your patience.

The problem is not only affecting the Twitch website, but also the apps. That is, those who try to watch their favorite channel through their mobile device, be it iOS or Android, are also having problems. For some, in addition to not loading or only showing blank pages, I get the message “Something went wrong”. To this is added that on cell phones you cannot search for streamers within the platform.

As of 12:59 pm, according to the DownDetector portal, 19,784 users have reported having problems with Twitch. 60% of the reports were due to problems with the web, 21% were because they could not transmit and 19% could not log in with their account.

The most popular streamers in Spanish have taken what happened as a joke. TheGrefg, for example, has tweeted “Hey, are you okay, Twitch?”, accompanied by a photo where the page did not load correctly. Furthermore, by way of irony, he also wrote: “What a great Twitch, giving vacations to all its streamers”.

What a great Twitch giving vacations to all its streamers. ????????????

For his part, Ibai Llanos has also joked about the problem, despite the fact that he was not going to broadcast today. “Today I didn’t stream and I have brought down the twitch servers. In a few hours I plug everything back in, sorry for the inconvenience”, he points out on his Twitter account. Although there are still connection problems with the platform, the reports have dropped more than an hour after the crash.

Today I did not stream and I have thrown the Twitch servers.

In a few hours I plug everything back in, sorry for the inconvenience.
