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.

Today's build of the game should address two issues: 1) Save/restore should work more reliably. We added bullet-proof armor around the code to make sure it'll work every time. 2) A few players reported being asked to "pay" for the game near chapter 5, even though they'd already bought the full game. This issue should be resolved. Note that you might now see an error message like this: "There was an error connecting to Steam." If you encounter this error, try restarting Steam and rebooting your computer. If that doesn't fix the problem, please e-mail us at support@choiceofgames.com. We'll do ou
