How can I install the latest version of Netcode?

Multiplayer & Networking Netcode for GameObjects

I’m using Unity 2021.3.12f1, however, the Netcode version that appears on the Package Manager is 1.0.2.

I went onto the Netcode github and downloaded the latest version (1.2.0), but I have no clue how could I implement it.

I tried open it from disk

But the “com.unity.netcode.gameobjects-ngo-1.2.0” package has many folders inside, and honestly, I don’t know which one is the one I should add.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi, you can either:

  • install 1.0.2 and then update from package manager by clicking on the package and then the “update” button
  • Change the version number in the manifest file of your project (Packages > manifest.json)

I would not recommend to download + install the package from disk, especially if you work with other people.

@PaoloAbela Thank you for the advice!

Regarding the first method :

I don’t seem to have any options for updating the package. I tried clicking everywhere in the package, including the package itself, but to no avail.

I’m going to try the second method and see if I can get it to work.

Changing the version through the manifest made it. Thank you for the help! I’ll update the status of the post to Resolved.

You can find the manifest file under YourUnityProject/Packages/manifest.json. Open the file and add the line

“com.unity.netcode.gameobjects”: “1.3.1”,

for the latest version, or change the version number for an earlier one (eg. “1.2.0”).

MyUnityProject/Packages folder contains only more folders, and when I search “manifest.json” in all files I get no results. Where is the manifest file located?

Check you’re looking in the right place, in the file system rather than in Unity. The Packages directory contains manifest.json and packages-lock.json.
