Tabletop Simulator Update v7.3 Mr. Game! DLC

By Austin Phoenix,

Another great update has arrived with the addition of our latest DLC, Mr. Game!, that has an awesome themed “family game night” room.

We have also added Locked Physics mode, which has been a requested feature for quite some time. While Semi-lock is great for reduced physics, Locked physics takes it even further, giving you more control of placement without having to worry about knocking something over.

With the addition of Global Alert Messages, you will get notifications in the top center of your screen for a brief amount of time that lets you know about any errors that occur. If you miss the message, it will still be posted in your chat messages. You can now also get notified when a new update is out or when we need to reboot the master server. Just be sure to be opted into global chat to receive these notices!

And last but not least is a major increase to stability as we located and fixed a major memory leak that could have been the cause to a lot of those random crashes. Read on below to find out everything in this update!

Be sure to read through our Knowledge Base to find tips, tricks and all kinds of information you didn’t know about. The Knowledge Base is regularly updated.

"Mr. Game!" DLC

- Our next DLC "Mr. Game!" by Game Revenant is now live!
- "Mr. Game!" Is on sale for 30% off its first week of release.
- You can read more about "Mr. Game!" on the official website.
- "Mr. Game!" is a modern take on the classic family "roll-and-move" genre of board games. It's a race-to-the-finish where the goal is constantly changing, and so are the rules! An innovative tabletop experience where one player wields the power to dramatically alter the game at a moment's notice. What kind of "Mr. Game" will you be?

Locked Physics Mode

- In the Host -> Options, you have a choice between Full (regular physics), Semi-Lock (reduced physics) and the new Locked (minimal physics) mode.

- There is no throwing, clumping, lowering, or pushing and objects will always auto raise in Locked mode.

Global Alert Messages

- You will now see messages on the top center of your screen when there are any errors.
- Messages stay for only a couple seconds before fading out.
- Important messages (updates, server reboots) will be shown in pink with [BROADCAST] next to it in the top center of your screen as well as in global chat.
