@CMarastoni @timjohansson Today I start to get this error “The ghost collection contains a ghost which does not have a valid prefab on the client” at Android build but I have no idea why I get this and the solution to solve it. The game become totally not playable. It seems like dots netcode failed to save valid hash into ghost collection I dunno. Can u fix it and send me unofficial fix?

The most common cause for this is going in-game on the client before the prefab has been loaded. The behavior of subscene streaming is different in editor and players - so it is common that this only happens in players since streaming in the subscene with prefab data takes longer which lets the systems run before that is done.

If you have a system on the client which automatically adds the in-game component you have to make sure it has a RequireForUpdate on something inside the subscene containing the prefabs (assuming you are using subscenes)
