A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Have fun (((:
Optimised human game modes. Should now be possible to play HvH modes without dropping to 20 fps lol Increased human recoil. Increased chinook helicopter sound effect volume. Fixed an issue where you sometimes got default item drop notification. Other minor changes. We noticed most people seem to really enjoy playing as human, so we plan to add more weapon variation for human character class and also rework the combat animation system for humans. We also plan to add the ability to crouch and vault. Feel free to let us know if there is anything you would like to be added or tweaked in future upd
Fixed an issue where name tags (or whatever you would call them) were shown on all players if aiming at one specific player. Tweaked burst fire mode timeings. Added free item drop for Ukraine Flag. Fixed some issues with our official server.
Changes: Added small 1v1 map: 'Skytek 1v1 Arena' Fixed an issue where the server browser displayed server IP as server name Added NVIDIA DLSS support. Tweaked quality settings to actually affect performance lol Fixed an issue where the VSync dropdown did not change the VSync count Tweaked human reloading Reduced drone sniper spread Optimized Maple island map Improved Victory and game mode selection screen Removed some unused configuration files and options from server configs. Multiple minor tweaks and bug fixes Known issues: Spectate causing connection timeout weird frame rate issues(at least
Improved reconciliation for client side prediction. Movement corrections from the server should no longer be able to cause massive rubber banding chains when playing as drone. Heavily nerfed human move speed Added interpolation between fixed movement updates for local player, to make movement more smooth. Removed snow and winter objects. Added slight smoothing to human recoil (might be improved further in later updates) Added the option to set grass density and render distance. However, this can have massive impact on performance at this point. So in case of low frame rate, it is recommended t
Added xMas and Winter Content. Reduced human in air movement. Fixed human jump logic to be fully deterministic in order to avoid rubber banding when jumping. Minor bugfixes.
Added shotgun specific tracer effects. There are now 6 different shotgun patterns which are dynamically created individually for each client. Added different shoot SFX for shotgun and sniper. Tweaked Lag compensation(Server rewinding) to work better with the movement sendrate limits implemented in the last update. Tweaked movement syncing for remote clients to now be tick based instead of individual for each client to prevent lag compensation from being randomly inaccurate. Fixed an issue in the human movement script. Fixed an issue were the green drone skin would make the drone fuselage invis
Patch notes: Optimized game networking and improved movement interpolation Fixed some UI text scaling issues Fixed an issue where players sometimes would not spawn after arena mode
Drone Wars 2.0 was made entirely from scratch and is technically a whole new game. So what's new? Well literally everything, but here are some of the most important improvements 2.0 comes with: New custom networking. New and better movement which is now server authoritative, with client side prediction, server side reconciliation and server rewinding(lag compensation) and is thereby way more secure. Humans are now a playable class. The drone model has also been recreated from scratch and the overall look of the game has improved by a lot. Way better looking UI (especially the main menu). A vot

HAPPY EASTER! Easter event will be live from 8.4.2020-14.4.2020 Unfortunately we didn't have much time to make this event since we prioritise to work on the LCU 2 Update, but here is what the easter event contains: Mystery Gifts will drop during the easter event, these are basically the same as mystery chests, but the Mystery Gifts don't require a key to open them. Added some easter decorations. "Happy Easter!" Achievement is now unlockable. NOTE: Looks like some players don't get item drops. If thats the case with you, try to reinstall the game, that fixed the problem in all the cases we know
Press here to get to the video on YouTube These are a few clips from the closed testing/experimenting of our next huge content update. It's, main feature is the new flying system, that still needs some improvements though. Unfortunately, we cannot, and we don't want to set a release date for the update yet, because we don't know how long some of the things will take, and how strong our motivation will be. Also we might add Drones vs Humans, some new weapons and the progression system in this update, and if we do that, it will take A LOT more time anyways.
