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.

Valve officially unveil the Index VR headset, shipping June 28th
2019-04-30 18:31 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Dominic Tarason)
The official store page for the Valve Index is live now, featuring tech specs on the new VR headgear and controller combo, a June 28th launch date and a price-tag. If you’ve got no other VR equipment and this is your first set of space-goggles, it’ll set you back a cool 919/ 1079/$999. The full kit includes two tracking base-stations, the headset itself and a pair of their next-gen finger-tracking controllers, formerly known as Knuckles. There are cheaper options for people who already own HTC Vive or Vive Pro hardware, as the base stations and controllers are cross-compatible. (m

Small synchronization change for youtube videos
2018-05-23 19:08 UTC · Community Announcements · Dylan
On the first play, youtube videos will now synchronize to gameplay a little better. There is a small tradeoff though -- your machine will need to build its own synchronization file for youtube videos even if others have already played them. It won’t need to do that for youtube songs you’ve previously played though (even before this update). The way it used to work is that synchronization files (yash files) could be shared and your game would use a shared one when you played a youtube song for the first time. The shared file would usually synchronize just right, but would occasionally be notice
The Dynamic Update: Jack Conte music and Dynamic Resolution Rendering

This update brings dynamic resolution, performance optimizations, and new music! http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/12132646/eee57b4d3a51933432c00cd230fe5944b53a3b39.jpg Dynamic Resolution Audioshield now automatically scales its resolution up or down to keep quality as high as possible while maintaining framerate. For most of you, this means the game will now automatically render in a higher resolution and text will be much easier to read. It also means that Audioshield can now scale down to lower GPUs. The lowest I've tested so far was a 1050ti and that ra

"Waiting for Audioshield" hang bug fixed
2017-06-21 15:59 UTC · Community Announcements · Dylan
To get the fix, opt-in to the SteamVR Beta. Here's how to do that: https://www.vive.com/us/support/category_howto/optin-to-steamvr-beta.html If you were one of the players sometimes getting stuck seeing "waiting for Audioshield" in the middle of songs, that problem is gone now! The old workaround of disabling haptics is no longer needed. Also, there's new collectibles in SteamVR Home this week - including an Audio Shield.

Updated: Recent Songs are now the default song view
2017-01-21 17:55 UTC · Community Announcements · Dylan
Audioshield just got a small update that moves Recent Songs to the top of the song browser list and adds support for a larger number of recent videos. The idea is to show more players the songs they want to play right when the game starts. A list for favorite songs is a good suggestion too - I'm looking into that. Changes: Updated to the latest SteamVR Made Recent Songs the default song browser view Increased the number of videos listed with recent songs Dethrones and Challenges can be selected. This switches to the relevant song and difficulty. Fixed a missing script warning seen in the game'
