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.

Updated gun pickup visuals in the Soldier Tutorial Updated button graphics for when a button loses focus while being pressed down Updated lightsource sphere graphics (removed the small gaps between the hex tiles) Removed official servers
Hello everyone, I just wanted to give a heads-up that our official game servers will be closing down on March 15, 2026 due to their upkeep costs and the fact that they're not being used. Note that the game itself is NOT shutting down, and peer-to-peer sessions and community-hosted servers will still continue to function for online multiplayer. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know in the Steam discussions or on our Discord. - Allan
Fixed a bug where the revive sound would continue to play if you died while reviving someone
Soldiers can now switch sides on death Soldier HUD is now hidden when waiting to respawn Fixed a bug where the revive UI was still showing when a (dead) soldier left mid-game
Hello everyone,I've changed it so that the DLC is no longer required for hosting custom peer-to-peer sessions.It seems that there were some people encountering issues connecting to our official servers, so having peer-to-peer sessions available as a free alternative should help alleviate those issues.With this change, the price of the DLC is also going to be permanently decreased by 40%. Note that if you purchased the DLC and would like to get a refund, you can do so at the following link: https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPurchase- Allan
Removed DLC requirement for hosting peer-to-peer sessions
Fixed a bug with ping location messages using incorrect player names
During the migration from the Demo to F2P, there was a misconfiguration and everyone was accidentally given access to the Premium Upgrade DLC. But this has now been fixed.Sorry for the confusion!(and I guess congrats to the lucky few who got to try out the Premium Edition for free!)
Migrated from Demo to F2P
Hello again everyone!Recently, I've been made aware that there is some confusion surrounding the Demo, and how things appear on the store page.Right now, the Demo is very similar to the paid version, with only some minor differences; such as being able to host/join custom sessions and the inclusion of the Arena minigame. Basically, the Demo isn't really a Demo... and while this is intentional, it's a bit confusing.To address this, a change is going to be made on Friday, November 21, 2025 where the Demo will be removed, and it'll instead be replaced with a more clearly marked Free-To-Play versi
Added Premium Upgrade DLC (you will automatically own this DLC if you own the base game before the transition to F2P)
Greetings everyone! I have some good news to share... Lightphobe is now fully released and no longer in Early Access!As a promotion for the 1.0 launch, a free version of the game has been made available, and it will be playable until the end of January 2026. Crossplay between the free and paid version is available through our official servers (custom servers/sessions are not accessible in the free version).We now also have official servers setup in 8 different regions (listed below), which is made possible by our dedicated server partner 4Netplayers:NA West (Oregon)NA West (San Jose)NA Central
Added official servers: NA West (Oregon) NA West (San Jose) NA Central (Dallas) NA East (Montreal) EU Central (Frankfurt) Asia (Seoul) Asia (Singapore) Australia (Sydney)
Updated ping marker ZOrder to be behind the crosshair Made some very minor adjustments to the arena minigame and tutorials Fixed a misconfiguration where the max players wasn't properly increased from 16 to 24 Added the ability to join LAN sessions by direct IP (in case searching fails) Added the option to choose what graphics API to use (e.g. DirectX 11/12 or Vulkan) Added a fallback for enumerating supported screen resolutions in the graphics settings Added Linux support for dedicated servers Added net_update_rate into the server settings config
Improved objective arrow to transition more seamlessly off-screen Added ping markers for soldiers Fixed a performance issue caused by several UI elements being initialized with incorrect settings in the pooling system
