How to disable/limit Fusion Unity SDK from weaving all DLLs?

Whenever Unity triggers a code recompile, frequently Fusion.CodeGen reweaves all the DLLs in the project regardless of whether they have any Fusion related code in them or not. Is there a way to limit which DLLs, AsmDefs, or (best) specific files get weaved?


Here are some of the logs from Unity Editor.log:

  • Hi @justdizzy ,


    Yes, it should be straightforward to limit which DLLs are Weaved.

    Open the NetworkProjectConfig asset and look for the "Assemblies To Weave" section, select the ones you don't want to Weave and remove them from the list, save and see how it goes.

  • I have this set to only Assembly-CSharp and Assembly-CSharp-firstpass, but the issue persists.

  • Hi @justdizzy ,


    Which SDK version are you using? Does this also happen on the latest version?

  • It happens in both 1.0.0 Stable and 1.1.0 Nightly.

    What you are observing is as expected, except for those ridiculous compile times. Weaving is actually a two-pass process, first being checking whether a DLL should be altered or not. That's why you see ILPostProcessor in the log.

    Does disabling the weaver reduce compile times?

    Also, what Unity version are you on?

  • Unity 2020.3.23

    How do I disable weaving? If I do, will my networking classes not work?

  • To make absolutely sure ILPostProcessor is not used, simply remove Assets/Photon/FusionCodeGen folder.

  • I'm having an issue with an assembly I'm using from an external package. I keep getting the error

    Session join/create failed. Type Foo.Components.FoobarGameRoomController has not been weaved. Has the assembly Foo been added to NetworkProjectConfig?

    I tried adding the Foo assembly to Assemblies to Weave but it just gets automatically removed the next time I run the game in the editor. And the same error shows up.

    If I remove the FusionCodeGen folder I get this:

    Session join/create failed. Type ControllerPrototype has not been weaved. Has the assembly Assembly-CSharp been added to NetworkProjectConfig?

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • @ramonmelo @photon I have not gotten a response here nor in the discord about the above. Is having common networked components in a separate UPM package not supported?
