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.

Hi Everyone, Following many complaints about low FPS I have made this update to boost FPS as much as possible. I have added an option called "Boost FPS" in Options->Graphics, this is on by default. this option works by limiting the texture maps update rate, these include shadows, reflections, refractions, elevation maps etc.. For most cases it will increase FPS by as much as 50%. Hope you enjoy ! Ilan
