Hey everyone, [b]v10.0[/b] will be our largest patch ever added to the game! We are replacing and optimizing the netcode on Tabletop Simulator to give you guys the best possible experience. 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. [b]To access the open beta:[/b][list] [*] In your Steam Library, right click on Tabletop Simulator and click on Properties.
