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

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 )

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