House of the Dragon premiere crashes HBO Max streaming, mostly on Fire Sticks

There have been a lot of complaints about the apps. They have held up well under the stress of new shows like Tenet, Wonder Woman, The Matrix, and Westworld, but there may not be anything like a Game ofThrones premiere. The premiere of the show's spinoff, House of the Dragon, is the first taste of a new GOT experience, and while many people are watching without a problem, others said the app crashed on them or froze up.

Most of the people with problems seem to be using an Amazon Fire TV platform or a Fire Stick. It is not clear why that app would have problems, but if you can't watch, you may want to switch to another app. One piece of advice people have reported success with is to create a new profile.

We will update this article if Warner Bros. or HBO Max has more information, but we don't expect this to happen again in the future.
