Had to stop the stream for a bit because Mullvad keeps shitting itself in its Japan nodes and causing the stream to lag.
Gonna eat and try to stream later using TorGuard. I've used it before for streaming without issues though not sure how it will handle connecting to Japan either.
@beardalaxy The game would play fine even with a free VPN but it's the stream that is having lag issues and dropping network frames. It's temperamental. Seems to be working fine now when I changed the Pomf server back to the USA yet that wasn't working at all earlier either, so I changed it to Japan and it was flawless.
@veru could also try proton, that one's free and should be fast enough to game on and just so happens to connect to JP as one of its 3 countries
