The record

Product: Netick is a free, server-authoritative, state-sync networking solution for Unity.
Replay: Netick includes a built-in full-game replay system.
Prediction: Client-side prediction uses prediction and reconciliation while maintaining server authority.
Sandboxing: Sandboxing lets developers run servers and clients in the same Unity project and run multiple servers in one Unity instance.
Networking: Netick uses tick-aligned simulation, snapshot interpolation, delta compression, and an abstract transport layer.
Performance: The maker reports 10,000 active objects with zero additional CPU usage and a test compressing and writing 250 moving objects to 250 clients in under approximately 0.35 ms on one modern Intel CPU core.
Poor connections: Netick automatically adapts to bad network conditions while maintaining smooth gameplay.
Pro features: Interest Management reduces server load and bandwidth and can prevent wallhacks, while Lag Compensation supports authoritative hit detection.
Default transport: The getting-started guide says Netick uses LiteNetLib by default.
Integrations: The official Unity Transport integration supports UDP, WebSocket, Unity Relay, and cross-platform connectivity between WebGL and native clients.
Security: The Unity Transport integration offers optional TLS encryption for WebSocket and DTLS encryption for UDP.
EOS integration: The official EOS transport provides EOS relays, lobby creation and discovery, NAT punchthrough, and relay fallback.
Support: The documentation directs users with questions or requests to the Netick Discord community and offers custom engine integration by email.
