Unity 6000.4.0b6 introduces improvements to build system performance and fixes several critical issues across graphics, scripting, and the editor. Notably, Linux ARM64 dedicated server builds are now more accessible, and DirectStorage performance on Windows has been enhanced.

Key Highlights

  • Improved performance for opening files on Windows with DirectStorage enabled.
  • Linux ARM64 dedicated server builds no longer rely on internal tools, enabling source code customers to build for this platform.
  • Fixed an issue where Adaptive Performance generated logs in non-development builds.
  • Resolved a bug causing valid package signatures to be flagged as invalid if validated after the signing certificate expired.
  • Fixed an issue where the Material Inspector showed duplicate entries in the Shader dropdown.
