2022.2.9f1 Release Notes

Improvements

• Networking: Clarified error message in the logs when attempting to build a dedicated server player without having that platform's corresponding Dedicated Server Build support module installed. (UUM-22128)

Changes

• Burst: Burst now only generates full debug information when "Native Debug Mode Compilation" and script debug information is enabled.
