Server - Transforms off screen not valid/not updating
I'm running into an issue with a network game. Everything works fine, so long as all entities are visible on the server's screen. If one is off-screen however, it stops getting updated on the server, and so if a client runs off on his own, the entities are operating purely on prediction. No packets are sent by the server for off-screen objects, and transforms are invalid. I tried making the skinnedmesh renderer work offscreen, but that was no help. Am I missing something here? Obviously I need my server to always update all active entities, but Unity seems to be doing some un-asked-for opimization. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'll need to give us more detail here. There shouldn't be anything stopping offscreen objects from updating on the network!
Actually, after spending 12 hours trying to figure it out, I just found my own answer. I had the skinned renderer set to update off screen, but the animation component wasn't set to always animate, which was the real culprit. As usual, the error existed between the keyboard and chair ;) Hopefully anyone else who has this problem will stumble on this and save themselves some time. Thanks for looking.
Thanks Bro ........... It really helped me a lot.
Note : if you want to update & animate off-screen objects than make sure that your object's Animation Culling Type set to "Always Animate" and also your object's Skinned Mesh Renderer's Update When Offscreen set to true (tick marked).
Hope it will help others.
