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.

I know everyone here is much more interested in updates and CMZ2 and we haven't forgotten about those things. But I wanted to take a second to let you know that we have released our latest game. http://store.steampowered.com/app/414550/Death_Toll/ We don't pack our games with DLC or ask for crowdfunding money so the best think that you can do to get more CMZ stuff is by supporting our other products. Even if it is just telling a friend. Thank you so much everyone. DDNA
A lot of people have asked me to bring back the game as it was on the Xbox. Basically before the 1.7 update. I have done so for you. If you right click the game in steam and go to the Betas tab. There is an option in the pull down now for "Classic Mode". If you select the you will get the game in the pre 1.7 state. WARNING!!!! You WILL lose your save games and worlds if you do this. This is because the new version is not expecting you to go back. But if you want to remember the game the way it was on the Xbox this is for you.
