Select a lower stream quality

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.

Start games behind live streams

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.

Enable caching in your player

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.

Enable multi-threaded streaming

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)

Are you using a laptop on power saver mode ? → use Performance mode

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.

Try to disable Windows auto tuning level

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
