Hey everyone, v10.0 will be our largest patch ever added to the game! This update’s focus was on completely rewriting and optimizing the netcode on Tabletop Simulator to help solve a lot of the connection issues. If you helped us test on the beta, thank you very much for your input as we needed all the extra testing we could get to ensure things were cleaned up smoothly. This is a major update, so if you encounter any issues, please let us know on our forums with as much detail as possible before we head into the holidays.

We also have a free update to Viticulture by Stonemaier Games, which adds in the expansions Tuscany and Moor Visitors!

And finally, we have made a few UI improvements which we hope you like. The main menu has changed for simplicity and to match the rest of the UI, and the host options menu has been split into Game, Server and Permissions. We’ve added some additional features to these menus as well.

VR and Touch is currently not working in this update, but we plan on adding it back in very shortly.

Please be sure to post your feedback and suggestions on our forums.

Due to the vastness of these changes, we decided to have an open beta to test and make sure nothing has slipped through the cracks. Additional features and fixes will also be included in the patch’s final release.

We want as many people as possible to help us test the networking rewrite, so we can work out any kinks before it goes live. We have commenced closed beta testing and are now opening this up to everyone. We would greatly appreciate your help and feedback to ensure this is a smooth process.

To access the open beta:

• In your Steam Library, right click on Tabletop Simulator and click on Properties.
  
  
  
  
• Click on the BETAS tab.

A new feature in this update is Onscreen Hands! This allows you to see and play from your hand from any position. This is great for those who prefer to have their hands in a static position on screen. Now everyone can have the best seat!

We also focused on figuring out where any networking issues are coming from, so we have added networking indicators next to your names on the top right, so you know exactly what’s going on.

Type /debug in chat and take screenshots of your readout if any networking issues come up. Use the following networking chat commands to help make adjustments when clients are connected.

• /networktickrate 20-120 (default 60) - this is how often the network will transmit data each second.
  
• /networkpackets 1-5 (default 2) - how many packets per tick to send out. Higher values make it so more objects can be synchronized each tick. (Host only command)
  
• /networkinterpolate 0-5 (default 1.1) - the amount of time for interpolation, increasing this value increases smoothness but also increases input lag for the clients. (Client only command)
  
• /networkquality 0-2 (0=high, 1=medium, 2=low) - changes the overall quality presets.
  
  If you are having networking issue try:
  
  /networkquality 2
  
  This will require 4 times less bandwidth than the default.
  Restarting the game will reset these commands to default.

• New feature onscreen hands that allow you to see and manipulate your hand from any location.
  
• The onscreen hand functions just like it does normally.
  
• Everything you do in your onscreen hand will be shown in your regular hand, so other players will still know what you’re doing.
  
• This allows you to view your camera in any direction or zoomed in, yet still see your hands.
  
• Objects can also go in your onscreen hand.
  
• Mousing over an object in your hand will show you the full view of the object.
  
• When you pull cards & objects into your onscreen hand, you will see a line indicator so you know it is there and the max size it can be.
  
• If you want a larger onscreen hand, you will need to extend the size of your regular hand zone.
  
• Cards will scale based on the size of the hand zone.
  
• You can toggle the onscreen hand by pressing H.

• Added new network icon indicators so you can tell what is happening with the host or client.
  
• Hover over the icons for more detailed info.
  
• The icons will show for each person, to show what your connection is to a particular person.
  
• - This shows when you are connecting to this player.
  
• - This shows when you are connected to this player through Steam’s relay servers. Performance is not optimal.
  
  
• Open the following ports if you are still having connection/network issues:
  
  UDP 3478 (Outbound)
  UDP 4379 (Outbound)
  UDP 4380 (Outbound)
  
  
• - This shows when you are disconnected from this player.

• Updated tokens that needed to have the proper green & gold backs.
  
• Updated token rotations.
  
• Some tooltips have been updated.
  
• Some snap points have been adjusted.
  
• Added camera states for quick views.

• Updated all custom content menus to match rest of UI.
  
• Updated chat settings to match rest of UI.
  
• Updated icons next to names to have outlines for better readability.

• createInput()/editInput() added int tab (None = 1, Select Next = 2, Indent = 3)
  
• inputs now default to tab select next.

• Fixed issue pressing A with a controller resetting pointer position.
  
• Fixed issue with scripted movement of an object not always syncing to clients.

A major part of this update focused on rewriting and optimizing the net code for object position synchronization which makes up the majority of the game’s network traffic. You will notice a huge improvement as the client when moving objects around with reduced input lag. This data will also now pass through Steam’s P2P network backend. Slowly but surely we are going to migrate all the netcode to use the Steam P2P.

We also have some additional fixes and improvements for Voice Chat that should hopefully resolve the last of the issues.

Thanks for your patience and post on our forums of any issues that come up along the way so we can make sure it is working properly.

In the last update we ran into crashing issues using Steam’s voice chat, so we temporarily turned off voice chat while we investigated.

After working all weekend and implementing a brand new system, we think we have something even better! Crystal clear voice using the latest Opus codec, the gold standard of voice chat. This new voice chat should sound better and perform better than Steam Voice or our old system.

Currently, Team Voice Chat icons do not show for other players. Disable voice chat only disables your voice. Click on a name to mute individual players in the meantime.

Thanks for your patience during this time. Hopefully the new voice chat works well for you all. If you have any feedback, please post on our forums.

• /mics (will return a list of available mics with a number.)
  
• /setmic # (to assign your new mic as default.)
  
• This will be moved into the configuration menu in the future.

• Scripting inputs now support BBCode.
  
• Fixed movement/jitter with scripting 3d ui.
  
• Fixed auto save not occurring during a table flip.
  
• Fixed steam authentication issues when reconnecting to server.

• If you are having problems talking to others players make sure your GLIBCXX_3.4.20 is on this version. This might change in the future.
