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.

Hello Jans, We are introducing small hotfix with sunrise, which you have reported recently in your feedback: Fixed the issue where sunrise wouldn't cause a proper game over, leading to other issues.

Hello Jans,Today's hotfix is strictly focused on performance optimization. This is the first of two planned updates, with the second scheduled for next week. Following our recent transition to the new Unreal Engine, we identified the engine upgrade as the root cause of most recent technical issues across industry, and these tweaks are designed to address them directly.Because this is a Friday deployment, we have opened a legacy Steam branch containing the previous live build. If the new patch breaks anything for you (we certainly hope not!), you can safely roll back to this branch with full sa

As someone with a Steam backlog, that I'm constantly filling up with games I'll 'play later', I don't typically pay full price unless I really want the game - I already have too many games. However, when deals like the Fanatical Legendary Bundle come around, it's hard to say no to so many excellent games at a lower price than ever before, and with experiences ranging from The Alters to Frostpunk 2, there's no reason to pass on this essential bundle.
