  • Added feedback form to Table Of Contents
  • Added a link to the Unity Gaming Services’ page in the Table Of Contents
  • Added template-specific documentation link in Table Of Contents, to help setting up Unity Gaming Services as intended.

Changed:

  • Enabled “dedicated server optimizations” otpion in Player settings for Dedicated Server Build target.
