 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed issue #1924 where `UnityTransport` would fail to restart after a first failure (even if what caused the initial failure was addressed). (#2220)
 - Fixed issue where `NetworkTransform.SetStateServerRpc` and `NetworkTransform.SetStateClientRpc` were not honoring local vs world space settings when applying the position and rotation. (#2203)
 - Fixed ILPP `TypeLoadException` on WebGL on MacOS Editor and potentially other platforms. (#2199)
 - Implicit conversion of NetworkObjectReference to GameObject will now return null instead of throwing an exception if the referenced object could not be found (i.e., was already despawned) (#2158)
