 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Changed
+
+- The debug simulator in `UnityTransport` is now non-deterministic. Its random number generator used to be seeded with a constant value, leading to the same pattern of packet drops, delays, and jitter in every run. (#2196)
+
 ### Fixed
 
 - Fixed ILPP `TypeLoadException` on WebGL on MacOS Editor and potentially other platforms. (#2199)
