Reactor v1.1.2

Get started with Reactor

Install takes under a minute. The local server downloads automatically after the package is added.

New here? Reactor is a server-authoritative multiplayer engine for Unity that compresses your network traffic automatically, with no serialization code to write. In a controlled benchmark it moved 9.5x less transform data than Photon Fusion 2 and Netcode for GameObjects.

Before you start

You need Unity (2021.3 LTS, 2022.3 LTS, or 6.x) and the .NET 8 SDK installed. The local development server runs on .NET, so it will not start without the SDK.

Download the .NET 8 SDK →
