3 weeks ago Hey there, thanks for bringing it to my attention.
That line is related to the RevealEnetLibraryName function in the Toolbox. I believe this error occurred when I updated the C# glue bindings. To remedy, comment out the RevealEnetLibraryName() block or I'll do a patch to that file to remove that editor-only option.
To answer your questions:
-
Ignorance is kinda in long term stasis. It's still in use by developers and I can't really just axe it, so I guess it's just being dormant. There was supposed to be an major update at some point to rework things and make it cooperate with latest versions of Mirror but that was like a year ago and I kinda dropped the ball on that.

KCP still has a decent amount of stuff left to be desired. Mirror's implementation is cool and all, but I've been keeping an eye on their issue tracker for KCP-related things and it seems that KCP has been painful as of late.
The KCP protocol is built upon UDP - the same socket layer that ENet/Ignorance is built on top of. I believe mischa did reimplement unreliable UDP into the KCP protocol but I can't vouch for its performance. Mirrors' KCP also runs in Unity Managed space vs ENet runs in the Native level.
I'm biased towards ENet (and well, my own transport) and I know KCP is used in big games like Genshin Impact for their networking facilities, so I guess this is kinda moot.
HTH.

Hello, when trying Ignorance with the latest Unity LTS version and latest Mirror, I get this error:
Assets\Mirror\Runtime\Transports\Ignorance\Editor\Toolbox.cs(18,125): error CS0122: 'Native' is inaccessible due to its protection levelAny suggestions?
On my main project I've been using Unity 2019.4 + Ignorance for 5 years, which has worked quite well. If you're no longer interested in maintaining Ignorance, is there another transport you'd recommend I'd switch to? Ideally something with similar performance and reliable/unreliable UDP. Would you recommend KCP over ENet nowadays? It seems KCP does not support unreliable UDP though?
Thank you
