Twitch Retold v2.5.1

🚀 What's New:

  • 18+ channels: the stream now starts: The player controls no longer cover Twitch's "Start Watching" gate for mature content, nor the subscriber-only and offline screens: Twitch's buttons are clickable again.
  • Star Gate: RetoldShield comes back on its own: After unlocking Star Gate while the app is open, the engine switches back to RetoldShield and the "Restart now" notice appears. Settings now show a badge with the engine that is actually running, not just the selected one.
  • 7TV: more reliable sign-in: 7TV sign-in windows now open properly, and if you are not signed in to Twitch yet the app takes you there first: doing it the other way round used to break the login.
  • Turbo banner over the video is gone: The "Ad-free viewing with Turbo" banner that covered the bottom of the player is now hidden on live streams too, in every language.
  • More useful bug reports: The report now includes the running engine, the Star Gate state and the ads blocked during the session, so one report is enough to understand what happened.
  • Lighter on your computer: Page cleanup no longer scans thousands of elements ten times per second: less CPU while you watch, especially with chat open.
  • RetoldShield: an update is on the way: We are working on an engine update, based on more than 24 hours of data collected across hundreds of channels: the targets are the ads Twitch delivers outside the video stream and the rare ones that slip through when you enter a channel. Coming soon.

Note

🛡️ RetoldShield Ongoing Development
RetoldShield is under active and continuous development. While it eliminates the vast majority of preroll and midroll ads at native 1080p60 Source resolution without buffering, Twitch frequently updates its delivery infrastructure and a few ads may still occasionally slip through. Continuous engine updates and refinements are being deployed regularly.
