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.

full releaseoverhauled experience
b 2 is expected to release fully out of early access by 8/29/26for now, playing is only possible on the beta branch ooea
In the game engine used for b 2 an issue was found (CVE-2025-59489). This update patches that issue. The issue allows a 3rd party application installed on your system to use an application built with the Unity game engine to run code on behalf of the application built with the Unity game engine. Assessment: b 2 does not require elevated privileges. As such, a 3rd party application cannot do anything more than it already can do when b 2 is installed. Note: always be wary when software starts you haven't initiated starting yourself.
For the time being b 2 remains in Early Access. With Early Access, initially intended was to find out whether server hardware and network software is stable and to learn ideas for possible additions. Server hardware is stable -- with few players -- and network software appears stable as well except for a possible flight path prediction issue which I was not able to solve and left open. Some ideas put forward are already added, like the free mouse look. Other ideas like more "npc"s require network syncronisation implementation solutions I have not found yet. (The bear is attempted to be syncron
made b position forecast working for player with fast connection to server receiving data of player with slow connection to server (slowly connected players previously already see forecasted positions of other players b); increased possible simultaneously played audios from 32 to 255 Note: Forecast removes step-wise animation but has been observed to cause stutter when the forecast is wrong (eg. being too far ahead and repeatedly getting put back on a straight path with constant speed; particularly this scenario ought be smooth with forecast and the cause of the discrepancy is being attempted
realigned free floating camera joint on enabling free floating camera to prevent vertical movement of mouse resulting in free floating camera rotate around unintended axis
free floating camera improved for arbitrary b orientations
free floating camera by left mouse button click, use mouse wheel to zoom, left-click again to toggle back; Depth of Field effect around tree; faster network update speed
attempt to fix floating bear attempt to fix camera stuck at last cover which would have hidden b reduced bear collider size enabled VSYNC rendering @ 2x native resolution
every Saturday and every Wednesday, at 7 am PDT / 4 pm CEST, the server will restart. This is noticeable as a reload in game.
