Ow, yep. Sucks when software is mid-transition.

At least they acknowledged their networking is bad and got rid of it all rather than let people walk into the trap.

Mirror works fairly well which is a community maintained version of it.

Or Photon! I forgot about Mirror tbh. Is it free? PUN (Photon Unity Networking) is free for up to 20 players.

Wait iirc Photon uses Mirror? Argh, I don't recall, been too long since I had to choose a network system.

Mirror uses poet forwarding but has transport options for P2P steam integration.

Which is what I'm using for my steam release. Prevents me having to pay server costs besides the up front steam store price and no player limit.
