It's been a week since we announced the Tabletop Simulator 2.0 Roadmap and we're hitting the ground running with with Part 1 of our Network Security Overhaul.
We know there have been questions and concerns raised by the community following the roadmap announcement. Please know that we are listening and have more information to address your feedback in a more direct manner coming soon.For now our primary focus is action and getting tangible changes rolled out. This release centers on network hardening — a major re-write of our internal networking implementation to patch critical exploits and prevent malicious users from tampering with the game.While this update stabilizes our current infrastructure we are working on Part 2 of the overhaul - Migrating the game to use the new Steam Networking API.Alongside the security hardening we have made sure to issue game bans the users who were abusing the exploits by attacking servers and the server browser.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Public Betas to help us test these critical infrastructure changes!Major Network Stack Rewrite: Overhauled the networking system to greatly improve security and stability.
Exploit Fixes: Patched multiple exploits, including potential "while loop" crashes caused by malicious packets.
RPC & Sync Validation: Added new validation checks to block malicious users (who are not registered correctly) from sending invalid Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) or Syncs.
Packet Routing: Fixed issues where packets were still being routed to clients even if the call was invalid.
Traffic Limiting: Network calls are now strictly limited to specific destinations (Server or Client) to prevent unauthorized cross-communication.
P2P Logging: Added system logging messages when connecting via P2P. This will now display the Steam ID of users you connect to, allowing for easier reporting or blocking of malicious users.
Cross-Platform ID: Internal network IDs are now more robust, reducing connection issues between different platforms.
System Overhaul: The Search system has been revamped to work much better and with the improved network security standards.
Hotseat Fix: Fixed an issue where Search was not working correctly in Hotseat mode.
Order Alerts: Added a chat notification when a player changes the order of a deck or bag in the search menu.
Pastebin: Fixed the Pastebin URL converter to correctly handle both http and https links.
Host Migration: Updated host migration to provide clearer notifications to players about what is happening during the process.
Music Player: Fixed a network issue regarding the "ready check" when clients first connect to a game with active music.
Player Colors:
Fixed "player color change" messages not working correctly for clients.
Fixed an issue where choosing the color 'Grey' was not notifying the chat.
Physics Settings: Fixed an issue where physics settings were not editable by non-admins.
RPC Duplication: Fixed an issue where clients were doubling up on RPCs, causing duplications in actions (e.g., measuring movement).
Chat Blocking: Fixed an issue where chat messages were not being correctly blocked by Lua on client-side scripts.
v14.1.5 Hotfix 1
Fixed search not working for old decks with GUIDs that weren't unique for each card.
Fixed the orientation of objects in search menu when there is a custom alt zoom rotation set on them.
Fixed issues in hotseat with draw, search, etc not working if not player 1.
Fixed peek indicator not being removed when clients stop peeking an object.
Fixed peek indicator issues when sharing your hand with other players.
Made initial network connection process slightly more reliable.
Small network optimization by reducing network traffic by 1 packet per second per client.
Fixed search not working in hotseat for everyone but player 1. (FOR REAL)
Fixed search not working for old bags with GUIDs that collided by checking for collisions and fixing them on the object.
Hotfix v14.1.6
Fixed issue with Combined objects not displaying correctly for clients when they are children of children.
No longer do we force unique guids on decks or bags for search, because it can cause issues with mods expecting old behavior.
Hotfix v14.1.7
Bag is now searchable like decks with only searching the first few number of objects contained.
Better network security for old Lua UI.
Fixed legacy Lua Input not syncing correctly for the host.
Fixed notepad not syncing for clients.
Fixed issue with combined objects glitching out when cloning them.
Fixed issue with player.showOptionsDialog() not syncing correctly.
Hotfix v14.1.8
Fix major networking issue causing players to be kicked from a server when the number of players increased.
Fixed search reorder message always happening on decks and bags with cloned objects contained in them.
Fixed issue with legacy Lua input not sending select false events.
v14.1.8 Hotfix 1
Fixed broken table flip!
Improved error reporting when a blocked player connects to a host.
Blocked, banned, or not friend players will no longer notify for a game invite.
Now reports the SteamID of the player that is inviting you.
Happy New Year Everyone!
We are kicking off the year with what we are calling Tabletop Simulator 2.0 — a series of major updates that we will be releasing for free with the goal of modernizing Tabletop Simulator and setting up the platform for success over the coming decade and beyond.
Tabletop Simulator 2.0 is not a sequel but the same Tabletop Simulator you already own, upgraded and reworked to feel modern, snappy, and more comfortable to use. The recent v14.0 engine update was the stepping stone to begin this process, and we would like to share this roadmap with you early to incorporate your feedback and suggestions.Our major focus and centerpiece for 2.0 is the UI/UX overhaul — reworking the fundamentals of how you play, learn, and build in Tabletop Simulator.Improved gameplay experience: Rebuilding the interface and user experience to make TTS more approachable for new and experienced players alike.
Practical creator tools: New and improved tools for creators so they can spend more time creating and less time fighting interfaces.
Better performance & improved visuals: Modernizing the rendering pipeline and performance foundations.
Multiplayer reliability: Networking improvements with a focus on stability and security hardening.
VR rework: A modern VR foundation with improved interactions and VR-friendly UI.
Steam ecosystem: Better compatibility and usability on Steam platforms such as the Steam Deck and upcoming Steam hardware.
Stable & Secure Online Play
Networking modernization focused on reliability and security improvements.
Upgrading to the new Steam P2P networking which encrypts traffic and helps protect player privacy (including hiding IP addresses).
Overhauling the networking system to offer better protection against exploits from malicious users.
Performance & Hardening Improvements
A build/runtime upgrade moving the build over to IL2CPP for better performance characteristics and security hardening by raising the bar against common tampering/exploits.
New Interface & Experience Overhaul (Play Mode / Edit Mode)
Full UI/UX overhaul from the ground up on a modern framework (UI Toolkit).
The re-design will focus on creating two distinct modes that you can switch between:
Play Mode: Clean and intuitive UI designed to streamline gameplay and make the playing experience less cluttered and confusing.
Edit Mode: Advanced tools and options for creators and power users who want expansive control over their creative process.
We also want to support full UI theming and skinning (a “CSS-like” styling system) so creators can build more customized interfaces for their games.
Modern Control Scheme & Controller Support Improvements
More consistent controls across mouse/keyboard and controller use with the Steam Deck in mind.
Upgrading to Unity's new input system for better device support and a more modern action-based design.
Visuals & Performance Improvements
Major rendering modernization by upgrading to the Universal Rendering Pipeline (URP) while preserving legacy Workshop content.
Reduced CPU usage for rendering with URP's batcher (should improve frame rates and performance in many cases).
VR Rework — Modern VR Foundation & Better VR UI
Full VR rework introducing OpenXR with a focus on fluid VR interactions and VR-friendly interfaces.
Steam Deck / Steam Frame / Steam Machine Polish Pass
Focused improvements to make Tabletop Simulator run better on Steam platforms and future hardware.
Creator Marketplace
A curated marketplace for user content that aims to expand the library of available Tabletop Simulator content without interfering with existing free Steam Workshop submissions. Read more about the Creator Marketplace below.
Official DLC-style content
TTRPG assets & figurines
Original models & assets (tables, tokens, miniatures, props, environments)
Polished high-quality experiences designed to work “out of the box”
Marketplace submissions will be checked and curated by our team to ensure that they are of high quality and do not infringe on intellectual property rights.
The Creator Marketplace does not replace the Workshop or introduce a paywall on existing community content. It is an optional library in addition to the Workshop that will let you support creators who produce high-quality content. Like with current DLC content only the host will need to have purchased a marketplace item for it to be available to all connected players.You will not need to purchase a new copy of Tabletop Simulator — all of these updates will be applied to you for free.
The Steam Workshop remains fully supported. We are committed to keeping existing content fully playable during this modernization.
The core values of Tabletop Simulator remain the same — making it the best platform for finding and playing your favorite tabletop games.
The Winter Sale will be active from December 18 through to January 5th.

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.
Added Wait.collect(table expected_ids, on_finished, on_add = nil, on_error = nil) -> {table expected, table results, add(id, ...), reset()}.
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\ 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, ...).
on_finished(results) is called with the final results table.
collect_table:reset() to zero out call counts and clear results so you can reuse the same collector.
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.
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.

Supported: 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.
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.
Because Vulkan is still experimental, if you hit visual glitches or stability problems, switch back to the default renderer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In the current public beta, post-processing is not active in VR. This means effects like LUT-based color grading and other post-processing visuals do not work in VR yet. We’re planning to restore this in a future update.
Added search filter for playlists. (Nolt #2143)
Added Clear Playlist button.
Added Export Playlist and Import Playlist:

Fix: Music player no longer breaks when loading a new mod. (Nolt #2038)
Fix: Music events no longer break when a song ends with no playlist active.
Fix: Music player no longer resets when loading a save file with no music saved on it.

Fixed dice behavior when picking up and dropping instantly, so dice now roll correctly in that scenario.
Fixed VR floor setting being inverted for the vr_floor option.
Added tryObjectStateChange(object, new_state_index, player_label) and object.tryStateChange(new_state_index, player_label). (Nolt #1822)
You can hook into the “state change” action to drive similar custom behavior in your own scripts.
You should not use this as a generic “do anything” trigger; keep it semantically tied to state-change-like behavior so your mods remain intuitive.
Added Wait.collect(table expected_ids, on_finished, on_add = nil, on_error = nil) -> {table expected, table results, add(id, ...), reset()}.
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\ is set to the ... you passed in.
If you provided on_add to Wait.collect, 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, ...).
on_finished(results) is called with the final results table.
collect_table:reset() to zero out call counts and clear results so you can reuse the same collector.
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.
If success == false, the safest simple strategy is to retry storeRewindState before proceeding with the critical part of your script.
allowRewindStore()
Clears the block on storing rewind states.
You should call this any time you previously used storeRewindState with block_further_stores = true, once your “don’t interrupt me” work has finished.
player.getHandStash() → returns the stash object if it exists.
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.
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.
Fixed JSON.encode not working correctly with Unicode. (Nolt #1263)
