Build's in Unity5 are not comparable to the editor version!

    In editor my scripts work, but in a build something gets messed up and scripts dont work.
    The build run's, but my custom actions dont work.

    In short:
    I have a user helper script in my simualtion project, wich helps the user to automatically engage the clutch while shifting. This works in the editor, but in a build there's no effect! Also it worked in Unity 4.x

    Posting code is not nececery, it worked before and it works in the editor.
    My script gets updated in FixedUpdate() right before I pass the values to my plugin, so everything seems logical.

    Just to state the obvious, if you reference anything using UnityEditor; related, builds will fail.
    Probably not the reason, but just double checking.

    Check the player logs from the builds, most of the time it will tell you what went wrong.

    According to the logs everything is OK as it should be. I'm suspecting that Unity5 has a different timing route for builds maybe? I hope there's a work around or it will get fixed in RC4

    If you don't file a proper bug report it almost certainly won't be fixed. But from your description I'd assume it's actually a problem with your code that has to be fixed on your end. Sometimes creating a nice repro project is a good way to find the issue ...

    not knowing the extent of your code or the plugin, you might be able to delay the initialization to say a second after unity stared using a delayed invoke (http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.Invoke.html)

    after that you simply set a bool to true (or use awake & enable ) to allow your updates to function as needed.

    Because such invokes are not done in a truely multithreaded way, but actually called in a frame that is passed the time delay, you would skip any unreferenced uninstantiated stuff. Though those should all get caught by the Unity player log.

    If all else fails a try {} catch() might shed some light on the situation

    Different behavior in editor vs. build is almost always the result of relying on undefined behavior.
