RaceRoom Spectator mode for E-Sport Commentators

Hi everyone, and a shout-out to the KW Studios team if you're reading this!

As a long-time esports commentator who has broadcasted countless sim racing events over the years, I’ve watched RaceRoom evolve significantly. You’ve done a fantastic job with continuous physics, audio, visual, and content updates.

However, one crucial area seems completely frozen in time: the Spectator Mode (Spectator Reality). The current dedicated spectator tool essentially dates back to 2015 and hasn't received any significant updates or feature overhauls in years. When broadcasting modern esports events, the current setup feels very dated and restrictive—especially considering how polished the rest of the sim has become.

So I’d love to ask the KW Studios developers directly: Is a modernized spectator mode or an updated set of TV director tools anywhere on your future roadmap? Can we expect a new release or update to Spectator Reality down the line?

And to the community / fellow broadcasters: What workarounds, third-party software, or overlays (like SimHub or web overlays) are you currently using to bring your RaceRoom streams up to modern standards?

Thanks for any insights!

I’m currently rocking the ROG Ally X (RC73XA) with the latest BIOS 317, but the software experience is honestly killing the vibe. I'm on Windows 11 25H2 (Build 26200) and running into some major "quality of life" issues:

  • Keyboard Ghosting: At the Windows login screen, I tap the PIN field and... nothing. The virtual keyboard refuse to pop up. I’m literally locked out of my own handheld unless I force a hard restart or shutdown.
  • External Monitor Black Screen: This one is a nightmare. Every time I restart or update while connected to an external monitor, I get a black screen of death. The signal either takes forever to come back or just stays dead until I kill the power.
  • Driver Rollbacks: The system keeps fighting me on drivers, rolling back from the latest .5004 to the old .203 version.

ASUS, please fix your software (Armoury Crate). This isn't user error; the hardware is great, but the software layer is full of bugs. Get it together! (New AC Launch Animation BSOD!!)

Regards, A frustrated Ally X owner.
