Memory leak in Roon?! [Solved: Update to Build 970]

Hi everyone,

Our team has been tracking these reports, both here and in other places on community. I wanted to provide an update on where these issues stand.

We typically see performance issues like this happening on macOS or Linux setups. Windows and RoonOS work a bit different under the hood and so those platforms tend to perform much better in this area. The good news is there is work underway to improve some low-level architecture on macOS and Linux that we believe will be a big improvement. We don’t have any timelines we can provide at the moment, but work is already in process and we’ll be sure to update everyone when we can.

There are also specific bugs we’ve found — One specific to RoonOS which was fixed recently, and another related to network changes on Linux. A solution for the latter is currently in development as well.

We understand that this has been a frustrating issue for many, and we are hopeful that these changes will help alleviate many of the issues that have been reported.

In the meantime, if you’re using a larger library, our recommendation continues to be that you use a RoonOS or Windows Core for optimal results.

Thanks to everyone who has reached out to us about this!
