Tabletop Simulator v14.0 - Engine Upgrade, Feature Additions & Performance Improvements!

A quick note from the team: We know it’s been a long time since the last big update. Behind the scenes we’ve been doing a lot of groundwork on the engine and tools, and this patch is the first step to a renewed focus on regular updates and improvements to TTS. Thank you for your patience and for sticking with us ❤️

Thanks to everyone who tried out this update in the public beta—your feedback was invaluable in helping us make it as good as it is. A lot of the new features and fixes came directly from what you shared with us.

Read First (Important Changes)

  • New minimum OS / platform requirements:
    • Windows: 64-bit Windows 10 21H1+ (Windows 11 supported)
    • macOS: 11 Big Sur+
    • Linux: Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 (64-bit)
  • Win 32-bit builds are no longer supported.
  • Keybind behavior changed: keybinds now use physical key location instead of character (better across keyboard layouts). Keybinds have been reset due to this change.
  • Image pipeline update: your RAW image cache will be cleared with this update due to image pipeline changes and new translucency support.
  • Voice chat: if you are the host and disable voice chat, it disables voice chat for all players.

Gameplay, rules, and your saves are unchanged. This is primarily an engine + quality-of-life update.

Summary

  • Engine & platform
    • Engine upgrade to Unity 6 LTS for smoother performance, better stability, and faster loading in many cases. Over 5 years of engine improvements!
    • Native Apple Silicon support on macOS with a universal app (Apple Silicon + Intel), using Metal by default on Apple Silicon.
    • The game executable is now code signed, improving trust with Windows and reducing false positives with antivirus.
  • Rendering & mod assets
    • New Vulkan graphics API option on Windows & Linux (experimental) for potentially better performance in heavy scenes.
    • New rendering & image upgrades: higher quality PCSS shadows, optional image translucency, and WebP image support for more efficient mods.
  • Quality of life
    • Camera movement improvements, deal from bottom of deck, keyboard layout–friendly keybind behavior, turns system improvements, controller pointer smoothing, music player overhaul, notepad improvements, grid tools, erase-all controls, Cloud Manager upgrades, and new console options.
  • Lua / creators
    • Lua upgrades including a new turn-order API, improved deck dealing controls (including “deal from bottom”), putObject index support, plus stability fixes for scripting and drafting/hand selection workflows.

Engine, Platform & Security

  • Updated TTS to Unity 6 LTS.
  • Updated all plugins to their latest compatible versions.
  • The game executable is now code signed, improving trust with Windows and reducing false positives with antivirus.

New OS / Platform Requirements

  • Windows

    • 64-bit only.
    • Minimum: Windows 10 version 21H1 (build 19043) or newer.
    • Windows 11 fully supported.

  • macOS

    • Minimum: macOS 11 Big Sur or newer.
    • Ships as a universal app that runs on both Intel and Apple Silicon (M-series).
    • On Apple Silicon, TTS runs natively (no Rosetta required).

  • Linux

    • Officially supported/tested: Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04, 64-bit.
    • Wayland and X11 supported (behavior may vary by distro/driver).

If you're on an older OS than the above, TTS may not launch after this update. Please update your system.

Graphics APIs

  • macOS (Apple Silicon)

    • Metal is now the default graphics API when running on Apple Silicon.
    • If you're not on Apple Silicon, the game uses OpenGLCore by default.

  • Windows & Linux

    • Added Vulkan as a new experimental graphics API.
    • In very demanding scenes, Vulkan can offer better performance on supported hardware.
    • If you hit visual glitches or stability problems, switch back to the default renderer.

Security

  • Includes the latest Unity 6 security fixes, addressing known file-loading vulnerabilities in older engine versions.
  • Combined with code signing, this should reduce security prompts and exploit risk.

General & Performance

  • Greatly increased snappiness of WASD camera movement with less "floaty" gravity.
  • Keybinds now use physical key location instead of character, so bindings line up across different keyboard layouts.
  • Turn order UI now updates dynamically in the top-right player list whenever turn order changes.
  • Controller input for moving pointers should now feel slightly smoother.
  • Greatly optimized network serialization on CPU via more efficient bitpacking.
  • Image loading improvements
    • Loading new (uncached) images is now more performant.
    • Improved image quality in many cases.
    • Reduced likelihood of crashes when large or many new images are being loaded.
  • Added support for WebP images, a more efficient image format than JPG or PNG. (Feedback #2273)
  • Voice chat improvements:
    • Disabling voice chat in the configuration menu properly stops all voice chat processes.
    • This can fix audio issues with some Bluetooth headsets.
    • If you are the host and disable voice chat, it disables voice chat for all players.
    • Added an error message when trying to use voice chat when it isn't connected.
  • UI theme can now automatically follow your system theme if none is manually selected.

Rendering Options

  • Added a higher quality shadow setting PCSS, which gives more realistic shadows and blurs based on distance.
  • Added a new console command Translucency that allows images to support partial translucency (EXPERIMENTAL, please send us feedback on this!).

Connectivity & Session Safety

Lua

New Lua functions and features for creators:

Object State Changes

  • Added tryObjectStateChange(object, new_state_index, player_label) and object.tryStateChange(new_state_index, player_label). (Feedback #1822)
  • Limited tryObjectStateChange and tryStateChange to only trigger on valid state indices.

Turn Order & Input Modifiers

  • Added Turns.getTurnOrder() which returns the current turn order, including automatic order (in automatic mode) and custom order (in custom mode).
  • Lua will now receive the ALT modifier on the events onNumberTyped and onObjectNumberTyped.

Dealing API

  • Updated obj.deal(int NumCards, string Color = Colour.SeatedLabel, int HandIndex = 1, bool DealFromBottom = false)
    • Now supports dealing from the bottom of the deck when DealFromBottom = true (only works for decks).

Hand Select Mode

Automate drafting & hand selection:

  • chooseInHand(label, minCount, maxCount, prompt, players) -> affectedPlayers
  • chooseInHandOrCancel(label, minCount, maxCount, prompt, players) -> affectedPlayers
  • clearChooseInHand(players) -> affectedPlayers
  • currentChooseInHand(player) -> label
  • onPlayerHandChoice(player_color, label, objects) → Callback triggered when a player confirms their selection.

Wait.collect

  • Added Wait.collect(table expected_ids, on_finished, on_add = nil, on_error = nil) -> {table expected, table results, add(id, ...), reset()}.

Wait.collect takes a list of expected ids and returns a collect_table:

  • When the task for a given id is complete, call: collect_table:add(id, ...).

    • The first time this happens for a given id:
    • collect_table.results[id] is set to the ... you passed in.
    • If you provided on_add, it is called as: on_add(id, ...).

  • Error handling:

    • If you call add more than once for the same id and you provided on_error, it is called as: on_error(Wait.COLLECT_DUPLICATE, id, ...).
    • If you call add with an id that was not expected and you provided on_error, it is called as: on_error(Wait.COLLECT_UNKNOWN, id, ...).

When all expected ids have been added:

  • on_finished(results) is called with the final results table.

You can call:

  • collect_table:reset() to zero out call counts and clear results so you can reuse the same collector.

Rewind State

Rewind states are stored periodically. If a store happens in the middle of a complex scripted change, you can end up with bad intermediate states. These helpers let you control when rewinds are saved. (Feedback #617)

  • storeRewindState(closure andThen, block_further_stores)

    • Attempts to store a rewind state if there are unsaved changes, then calls: andThen(success, didSave).
    • success
    • true → the call completed successfully.
    • false → a rewind state could not be stored. You should always check this before continuing.
    • didSave
    • true → a new rewind state was actually written.
    • false → call succeeded but there was nothing new to save.
    • If block_further_stores is true and success is true, then no additional rewind states will be recorded until:
    • You call storeRewindState again, or
    • You call allowRewindStore(), or
    • 60 seconds have passed.

  • allowRewindStore()

    • Clears the block on storing rewind states.

Hand Zone Stash

Each player’s primary hand zone now has a “stash” where cards in the players hand can be stashed temporarily:

  • player.drawHandStash() → draws all cards from stash into hand.
  • player.setHandStashLocation(v3 position, int rotation) → set stash position & rotation.
  • card.moveToHandStash() → moves a card in hand into its stash.

Use cases: drafting mechanics, temporary hidden piles, etc.

Lua API Addition

  • Lua added an optional index parameter to putObject(Obj, index). (Feedback #659)

Lua Fixes

  • Fixed an issue with Lua GetData() involving the new Steam IDs.
  • Fixed JSON.encode not working correctly with Unicode. (Feedback #1263)

v14.0.3 Hotfix 1

v14.0.3 Hotfix 2

  • Added a 'Community Chat' button to the chat menu that opens the Tabletop Simulator community group chat on Steam. Community Chat Rules need to be accepted before you can join.
  • Fixed crash loading certain images (let us know if you have anymore crash events!) https://feedback.tabletopsimulator.com/2736
  • Fixed Custom Figurine not updating when you choose to update similar https://feedback.tabletopsimulator.com/2722
  • Fixed ui_toast_duration error causing the misc setting menu to not open on first click.

v14.0.3 Hotfix 3

  • Added Lua Turns.endTurn() an easy way to end a players turn.
  • Changed json save file max depth to 1024...
  • Optimized the Wait class and fixed potential bugs with callback and calling stop().
  • Fixed "crashed" caused when deleting large RAWT cache after update (made deletion async, so it doesn't appear crashed).
  • Fixed not being able to pass turns for non admin players.
  • Fixed being able scale objects with locked Y scale to 1 to really small or big.
  • Fixed stacking distance for small cards and decks so that the spread action properly works with them.
  • Fixed autosaves happening when your server becomes disconnected.
