Upcoming Changes to RaceRoom’s Shared Memory API

[h3]Upcoming Changes to RaceRoom’s Shared Memory API – September 24th Update[/h3][p][/p][p]On September 24, 2025, RaceRoom will receive a major update that introduces fixes and improvements to the shared memory API. These changes are necessary to support new features such as the upcoming Hypercars / LMDh hybrid systems and their virtual energy systems.[/p][p]Because of the scope of these additions, the shared memory block will no longer be backward compatible. This means that third-party apps, dashboards, motion rigs, and other tools that rely on the shared memory API will stop working correctly unless they are updated.[/p][p][/p][p]If you are an app developer using RaceRoom’s shared memory interface:[/p]
  • [p]The documentation and a sample program can be found here: RaceRoom Shared Memory API on GitHub[/p]
  • [p]To help with the transition, we can provide early access to a game build that includes the updated shared memory structure. If you would like access, please join our discord and head over to the #Apps channel where you also can participate in the conversation and submit your own wishes and requirements for further modifications of our API.[/p]
[p][/p][p]We encourage all developers to update their tools ahead of the September 24th release to ensure a smooth experience for their users.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for your continued support in expanding the RaceRoom ecosystem![/p][p][/p][p]J-F[/p]
