I see a constant warning in developer mode logging:

[Netcode] Detected the Host is sending itself animation updates! Please report this issue.

My Code:

 public class PlayerNetwork : NetworkBehaviour
 ..
 Animator anim;
 OwnerNetworkAnimator networkAnimator;
 ..
 public override void OnNetworkSpawn()
 {
     ...
     anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
     networkAnimator = GetComponent<OwnerNetworkAnimator>();
     networkAnimator.enabled = !IsHost; // attempted solution, no luck
     ...
 }
 void FixedUpdate()
 {
     ...
     anim.SetFloat("Speed", direction.sqrMagnitude);
     // networkAnimator.Animator.SetFloat("Speed", direction.sqrMagnitude); <-- also tried this no luck
     ...
  }

I followed the docs, should I be concerned?

Hi @DustinRobison ! Thanks for raising this issue. I checked with the team, and this was a bug that they fixed in PR-2309. The fix will be included in the next update.

It shouldn't impact anything, but the host shouldn't be sending itself updates when in owner authoritative mode (and the host is the owner). According to the engineering team, this message is only logged when the NetworkManager Log Level is set to Developer.

I hope this helps 🙂
