Weve unified the code to make sure it works the same on both platforms, and weve fixed some bugs. Add transparency support for LightmapGI Currently when baking lightmaps users have to choose between transparent objects casting shadows as if they were fully opaque, or not casting shadows at all. This was added by Macksaur in GH-96290.

Strategies for Optimizing Multiplayer Games in Unity

Logic Simplified

The use of simple colliders should include box and sphere types instead of complex mesh colliders to minimize processing requirements. The utilization of Baked Lighting for static region precomputation results in enhanced runtime performance. Proper memory management ensures smooth, stutter-free multiplayer gameplay.
