Unity 6 Network Manager missing (?)

Unity Engine
, , ,

Hi,

I am a beginner and absolutely new to Unity.
I work with Unity 6.
I want to create a small little game for me and my friends.
In the empty game Object I want to add a component “Network Manager”. But I can not find it.
Navigating to: Window > Package Manager, did not help either, since the Network Manager is not listed.
How do I receive and install this Tool?

But I have a Multiplayer Center installed.
It gives recommendations on Packages to install. One is the “Multiplayer Services”. Is this the right choice?

Sorry if this is the wrong sub forum
Thanks for all the answers

Yes, you need to load those pacjkages other wise the multiplayer stuff is not setup

install 4446×754 28.6 KB

These are the packages I have knowingly installed @bugfinders
Probably missing a step somewhere.

You didnt click install :stuck_out_tongue:

The Multiplayer Center recommends to install over and over again. I did press install again. The recommendations are still recommended and sadly no new Components

then its not installing.

You get a check mark when its installed

From where do you get the package “Netcodes for GameObjects” ?

10

thats what it said I needed this is all through the wizard thing, so, i guess you didnt pick the right options
but it also hasnt installed what you did pick because the checks arent there

Im guessing your issue is the determinstic lockstep

PS love how you said small for you and friends then said 512+ haha

I try installing tomorrow again.

I want to go with the Client/ Server Architecture. I hope it is the right choice for the game, because with lock step I would have to wait for all the inputs as I understand it.

Yeah a small friend group xD I wanted to give room for +1 from friends and than imagined growing Team numbers. Giving me space upwards seemed the right choice ^^

Off topic: I want to make it an app. Do I have to set Unity to android from the beginning or can I change that later?

13

you can change later, but, if you download some assets or whatever, you need to be checking if android is supported, you also do need to check reasonably or you may put in a ton of work and find it runs like a turd on android

For anyone coming to this post with the same problem, I will attach the following 3 links. Maybe they are enough and will help you in your case.

Install Netcode for GameObjects

Use the Multiplayer Center

About Netcode for GameObjects

You want to navigate to Window > Package Manager and check for the package “Netcode for GamingObjects”. If its not listed, click the link to Install. Make sure its either the package “Netcode for GamingObjects” or “Netcode for Entitys”. If you have both, remove one of your choice.

Well it was interesting you said you wanted client/server but you picked deterministick lockstep, so if you had picked client/server it would likely have given you the netcode objects
