Note: Due to new restrictions on the packages that can be uploaded to the Unity Asset Store the version will now need to be uploaded with Unity 2018.4 (LTS). This is a breaking change that we did not intend on having to make at this current point. DarkRift will continue to work on Unity 2017.4 if you require it however it must be downloaded from the asset store with Unity 2018.4.
