  • [p]New Lua tools for drafting, hand selection, hand “stash” areas, rewind control, and more scripting power.[/p]
[p]Gameplay, rules, and your saves are unchanged. This is primarily an engine and quality-of-life update.[/p]
[hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]Engine, Platform & Security[/h2]
  • [p]Updated TTS to Unity 6 LTS.[/p]
  • [p]Updated all plugins to their latest compatible versions.[/p]
  • [p]The game executable is now code signed, improving trust with Windows and reducing false positives with antivirus.[/p]
[p][/p][h3]New OS / Platform Requirements[/h3]
  • [p]Windows[/p]
    • [p]64-bit only.[/p]
    • [p]Minimum: Windows 10 version 21H1 (build 19043) or newer.[/p]
    • [p]Windows 11 fully supported.[/p]
  • [p]macOS[/p]

    • [p]On Apple Silicon, TTS now runs natively (no Rosetta required).[/p]
  • [p]Linux[/p]
    • [p]Supported: Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04, 64-bit.[/p]

[p][/p]
[p]If you’re on an older OS than the above, TTS may not launch after this update. Please update your system.[/p]
[p][/p][h3]Graphics APIs[/h3]
  • [p]macOS (Apple Silicon):[/p]
    • [p]Metal is now the default graphics API when running on Apple Silicon.[/p]
    • [p]If you’re not on Apple Silicon, the game uses OpenGLCore by default.[/p]
  • [p]Windows & Linux:[/p]
    • [p]Added Vulkan as a new experimental graphics API.[/p]
    • [p]In very demanding scenes, Vulkan can offer better performance on supported hardware.[/p]
    • [p]Because Vulkan is still experimental, if you hit visual glitches or stability problems, switch back to the default renderer.[/p]
[p][/p][h3]Security[/h3]
  • [p]Includes the latest Unity 6 security fixes, addressing known file-loading vulnerabilities in older engine versions.[/p]
  • [p]Combined with code signing, this should reduce security prompts and exploit risk.[/p]
[hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]General & Performance[/h2]
  • [p]Greatly increased snappiness of WASD camera movement with less “floaty” gravity.[/p]
  • [p]Keybinds now use physical key location instead of character, so bindings line up across different keyboard layouts.[/p]

    • [p]Loading new (uncached) images is now more performant.[/p]
    • [p]Improved image quality in many cases.[/p]
    • [p]Reduced likelihood of crashes when large or many new images are being loaded.[/p]
[hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]VR (Beta Note)[/h2]
  • [p]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.[/p]

  • [p]Fixed game crashing when trying to load a CMYK JPG.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed line tool not converting to cm in component mode. (Nolt #1934)[/p]
  • [p]Fixed “Showing Hand” button displaying incorrect color after seat swap.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed on-screen hand blocking in-game UI. (Nolt #1757)[/p]
  • [p]Fixed hotseat turn not being set to correct player on load. (Nolt #1960)[/p]

  • [p]Fixed hotseat turn incorrectly resetting when loading a Classic game.[/p]
  • [p]When starting a hotseat game, the game now only picks larger tables, so all player colors are immediately selectable.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed context menu not clamping to screen. (Nolt #1966)[/p]
  • [p]Fixed context menu appearing in the wrong position when right-clicking a card in hand. (Nolt #2051)[/p]

  • [p]Fixed cards getting cut off onscreen when scaling very large hands.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed deleting a folder in Cloud Manager not deleting all contained files.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed issues when uploading PDF files via “Upload All” in the Cloud Manager.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed a bug where objects with multiple assets (primary/secondary AssetBundles) could think they finished loading too early, breaking on-screen hands, highlighting, and Lua load completion.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed dice behavior when picking up and dropping instantly, so dice now roll correctly in that scenario.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed VR floor setting being inverted for the [c]vr_floor[/c] option.[/p]
[hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]Lua[/h2][p]New Lua functions and features for creators:[/p][h3]Object State Changes[/h3]
  • [p]Added [c]tryObjectStateChange(object, new_state_index, player_label)[/c] and [c]object.tryStateChange(new_state_index, player_label)[/c].
    (Nolt #1822)[/p]
[p]These are called whenever a user uses the state change action on an object — even if the object doesn’t actually have extra states. That means:[/p]
  • [p]You can hook into the “state change” action to drive similar custom behavior in your own scripts.[/p]
  • [p]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.[/p]
[h3][c]Wait.collect[/c][/h3]
  • [p]Added
    [c]Wait.collect(table expected_ids, on_finished, on_add = nil, on_error = nil) -> {table expected, table results, add(id, ...), reset()}[/c].[/p]
[p][c]Wait.collect[/c] takes a list of expected ids and returns a [c]collect_table[/c]:[/p]
  • [p]When the task for a given id is complete, call:
    [c]collect_table:add(id, ...)[/c].[/p]
    • [p]The first time this happens for a given id:[/p]
      • [p][c]collect_table.results\[id][/c] is set to the [c]...[/c] you passed in.[/p]
      • [p]If you provided [c]on_add[/c] to [c]Wait.collect[/c], it is called as:
        [c]on_add(id, ...)[/c].[/p]
  • [p]Error handling:[/p]
    • [p]If you call [c]add[/c] more than once for the same id and you provided [c]on_error[/c], it is called as:
      [c]on_error(Wait.COLLECT_DUPLICATE, id, ...)[/c].[/p]
    • [p]If you call [c]add[/c] with an id that was not expected and you provided [c]on_error[/c], it is called as:
      [c]on_error(Wait.COLLECT_UNKNOWN, id, ...)[/c].[/p]
[p]When all expected ids have been added:[/p]
  • [p][c]on_finished(results)[/c] is called with the final [c]results[/c] table.[/p]
[p]You can call:[/p]
  • [p][c]collect_table:reset()[/c] to zero out call counts and clear results so you can reuse the same collector.[/p]
[h3]Rewind State[/h3][p]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.
(Nolt #617)[/p]
  • [p][c]storeRewindState(closure andThen, block_further_stores)[/c][/p]
    • [p]Attempts to store a rewind state if there are unsaved changes, then calls:
      [c]andThen(success, didSave)[/c].[/p]
    • [p][c]success[/c]:[/p]
      • [p][c]true[/c] → the call completed successfully.[/p]
      • [p][c]false[/c] → a rewind state could not be stored. You should always check this before continuing.[/p]
    • [p][c]didSave[/c]:[/p]
      • [p][c]true[/c] → a new rewind state was actually written.[/p]
      • [p][c]false[/c] → call succeeded but there was nothing new to save.[/p]
    • [p]If [c]block_further_stores[/c] is [c]true[/c] and [c]success[/c] is [c]true[/c], then no additional rewind states will be recorded until:[/p]
      • [p]You call [c]storeRewindState[/c] again, or[/p]
      • [p]You call [c]allowRewindStore()[/c], or[/p]
      • [p]60 seconds have passed.[/p]
    [p]If [c]success == false[/c], the safest simple strategy is to retry [c]storeRewindState[/c] before proceeding with the critical part of your script.[/p]
  • [p][c]allowRewindStore()[/c][/p]
    • [p]Clears the block on storing rewind states.[/p]
    • [p]You should call this any time you previously used [c]storeRewindState[/c] with [c]block_further_stores = true[/c], once your “don’t interrupt me” work has finished.[/p]
[h3]Hand Zone Stash[/h3][p]Each player’s primary hand zone now has a “stash”:[/p]
  • [p][c]player.getHandStash()[/c] → returns the stash object if it exists.[/p]
  • [p][c]player.drawHandStash()[/c] → draws all cards from stash into hand.[/p]
  • [p][c]player.setHandStashLocation(v3 position, int rotation)[/c] → set stash position & rotation.[/p]
  • [p][c]card.moveToHandStash()[/c] → moves a card in hand into its stash.[/p]
[p]Use cases: drafting mechanics, temporary hidden piles, etc.[/p][h3]Hand Select Mode[/h3][p]Automate drafting & hand selection:[/p]
  • [p][c]chooseInHand(label, minCount, maxCount, prompt, players) -> affectedPlayers[/c][/p]
  • [p][c]chooseInHandOrCancel(label, minCount, maxCount, prompt, players) -> affectedPlayers[/c][/p]
  • [p][c]clearChooseInHand(players) -> affectedPlayers[/c][/p]
  • [p][c]currentChooseInHand(player) -> label[/c][/p]
  • [p][c]onPlayerHandChoice(player_color, label, objects)[/c]
    → Callback triggered when a player confirms their selection.[/p]
[h3]Lua Fixes[/h3]
  • [p]Fixed [c]JSON.encode[/c] not working correctly with Unicode. (Nolt #1263)[/p]
[hr][/hr][p][/p][h2]Troubleshooting & Logs[/h2][p]If you hit problems, attaching your Player.log helps us a lot:[/p]
