 ### Fixed
 
+- Fixed `NetworkTransform` issue where a user could enable UseUnreliableDeltas while SwitchTransformSpaceWhenParented was also enabled (and vice versa). (#3875)
 - Fixed issue where `NetworkManager` was not cleaning itself up if an exception was thrown while starting. (#3864)
 - Prevented a `NullReferenceException` in `UnityTransport` when using a custom `INetworkStreamDriverConstructor` that doesn't use all the default pipelines and the multiplayer tools package is installed. (#3853)

 Things to consider when using __Switch Transform Space When Parented__:
 
 - This property is synchronized by the authority instance. If you disable it on the authority instance then it will synchronize this adjustment on all non-authority instances.
+- This property cannot be enabled when **UseUnreliableDeltas** is enabled as it requires deltas to be sent reliably.
 - When using __Switch Transform Space When Parented__, it's best to not make adjustments to the __NetworkTransform.InLocalSpace__ field and let the NetworkTransform handle this for you.
   - While you can still change __In Local Space__ directly via script while __Switch Transform Space When Parented__ is enabled, this could impact the end results. It is recommended to not adjust __In Local Space__ when __Switch Transform Space When Parented__ is enabled.
