• In your Steam Library, right click on Tabletop Simulator and click on Properties.
  
  
  
  
• Click on the BETAS tab.
  
• Click the drop down arrow and choose public_beta - Public beta branch.

Networking Overhaul

• Networking has moved over to Steam.
  
• Reduces the overall bandwidth to host a server.
  
• Alleviates host desync issues.
  
• Improves game security from hackers.
  
• Reduces stutters and FPS loss when hosting.

Not ready yet

• Hotseat
  
• Touch
  
• VR
  
• Host Options

Network Commands

• /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.
  

Onscreen Hands

• 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.

• 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.
  

Network Indicators

• 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.
