Installing UnityNetcodePatcher

1. Add the following code to your Plugin::Awake method:

private void Awake()
{
    var types = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes(); 
    foreach (var type in types)
    {
        var methods = type.GetMethods(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static);
        foreach (var method in methods)
        {
            var attributes = method.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethodAttribute), false);
            if (attributes.Length > 0)
            {
                method.Invoke(null, null);
            }
        }
    }
}

2. Install the tool with:

$ dotnet tool install -g Evaisa.NetcodePatcher.Cli

3. Add the following code to your .csproj:

<Target Name="NetcodePatch" AfterTargets="PostBuildEvent">
    <Exec Command="netcode-patch -uv 2022.3.62 -nv 1.12.0 -tv 1.0.0 &quot;$(TargetPath)&quot; @(ReferencePathWithRefAssemblies->'&quot;%(Identity)&quot;', ' ')"/>
</Target>

Editing the .csproj

To modify the .csproj file, there are a few different methods possible. The first option is to open the file in a text editor - such as Notepad++. You can also modify the file in your IDE, which can be opened by either pressing F4 when the project is selected in the solution explorer, or by right-clicking the project in the solution explorer and selecting Edit Project.

Updating UnityNetcodePatcher from before v73

If you previously used Unity Netcode Patcher or have it installed, before patching for v73 and later, ensure you have the latest version of UNP.

The maintainer of that project recommends uninstalling and reinstalling the package globally to ensure there's not conflicting files and is up-to-date:

$ dotnet tool uninstall -g Evaisa.NetcodePatcher.Cli
$ dotnet tool install -g Evaisa.NetcodePatcher.Cli

Additionally, ensure you are using the CLI/post-build event correctly with the new parameters:

CLI

$ netcode-patch -uv 2022.3.62 -nv 1.12.0 -tv 1.0.0 ...

Post-Build Event

<Target Name="NetcodePatch" AfterTargets="PostBuildEvent">
    <Exec Command="netcode-patch -uv 2022.3.62 -nv 1.12.0 -tv 1.0.0 &quot;$(TargetPath)&quot; @(ReferencePathWithRefAssemblies->'&quot;%(Identity)&quot;', ' ')"/>
</Target>
