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.

We released a Hotfix today to resolve a potential vulnerability we were notified of regarding our game engine. This is a proactive step we are taking to resolve this vulnerability prior to it actually being used, so there should be no actual impact on players.
Hello Onward Community, We released a Hotfix today to fix three major issues happening in the game. The following changes have been made: - Player state issues including the weird radio behavior after dying, seeing your own body after dying, and kill or death credit not counting should be resolved. - The bug that allowed players to “fly” using the revolver has been fixed. - Palm trees in Downfall and Bazaar now have penetrable leaves, and only block bullets on their trunks. Please make sure to update your game to version 2.0.3 for these fixes to be applied.
Onward Players, We're thrilled to see so many of you enjoying the new features introduced in version 2.0. Your positive comments and feedback are greatly appreciated, and we're delighted to welcome back previous players who have returned to the game. Although the release didn't go entirely smoothly, we've been working hard to resolve the issues that arose. The introduction of graphically advanced features and updates in the Horizon OS caused some functionality problems for Quest 2 users. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we worked to try and fix these issues. B

Hello Onward Community, Please forgive us for the radio silence lately. After we released Patch 1.14.3 we jumped right back into the trenches to work on the next update. We were happy to hear that the patch was able to resolve several issues you were experiencing. After the release of 1.14.2 the team devoted a huge effort into starting work on various areas of the game. This made it difficult to update areas of the game while that work was unfinished. We were thrilled that we were able to work around some of those things and get that patch out to you. Especially with all the work we have curre
