 ### Fixes
 
+- Hardened the `UnityLogger` to no longer throw when failing to format a log message. ([#2832](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unity/pull/2832))
 - IL2CPP line numbers now work on Android x86/x86_64 builds. il2cpp fails to report the image UUID there, so the SDK falls back to looking the debug image up by name ([#2817](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-unity/pull/2817))
