Games are lagging
Sometimes lowering the stream quality helps getting a flawless stream. Specially when all games are Live, the servers get hit by all users streaming games at the same time and requesting content. To set a lower quality, go to NHLGames Settings > Stream Quality.
Click on the red Live icon in the top left corner of the game card to select the rewind feature. It will start 5 minutes behind the live stream, unless you selected another time value in settings and it will give you a better buffer than the live stream.
Go to NHLGames Settings and Enable Players args, then add this line inside the text box.
--cache XXXX
Value
XXXX
is a value in KB. It goes from 1024, 2048, 4096 to 8192.
Go to NHLGames Settings and Enable Streamer args, then add this line inside the text box.
--hls-segment-threads X
Value
X
goes from 1 to 10. A value of 2 or 4 should be enough. Depends on your CPU cores (double core: 2, quad: 4)
Streaming games needs processor time and network bandwidth, so your laptop has to be set to High Performance mode. You should have a quick access to this setting next to the clock in the task bar, click on Power Options (battery logo) and drag the track bar to Best Performance.
Open Command Prompt and type:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
If this impacts your connection and you want to return to the default value, type:
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
