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.

Hello Adventurers! We'd like to apologize for the recent server issues. We have decided to permanently activate 2x harvest and exp starting on 9/4 at 12:00 AM Pacific Time. Servers will go down for 2-3 minutes at this time to implement the change. This will become the new standard base rate. Thank you!
Hello Adventurers, 2x Harvest and 2x Experience has been activated for all Official servers and will run until April 6. We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy during these difficult times! Note on Development: Dark and Light is currently undergoing a major coding overhaul. This is a large endeavor for a small team and the development will continue to take some time. The next significant update will likely be when the rework is complete. We apologize for the lack of information thus far. As of right now, we do not have an estimated date available. When the development team is ready to rev
Hello Adventurers Due to the abuse of transfer related complications, we will be suspending compensation for transfer losses until further notice. The development team will continue to investigate and troubleshoot transfers, but until we are able to resolve the issues, players are advised to transfer at their own risk. For assistance in other matters, please continue to contact our Customer Service team here: https://support.playdnl.com/hc/en-us We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding as the team continues to address the design flaws in Dark and Light -The DnL T
Greetings Adventurers, We hope you were enjoying the Halloween content. Unfortunately, it is time for Halloween Skeleton and Mini Elite Dark Wraith to say goodbye to the Graveyard. However, the Halloween Skeleton will still spawn in the Sacred Path, along with their drops at a much lower rate. Official servers will be closed for maintenance and update at 12 AM PST on November 14th. Double harvest rate and double taming rate will also be disabled. However, we will continue to implement double harvest rate weekend. Thank you.
HDR on PC hasn’t improved much in 2019. Despite there being more HDR gaming monitors than ever before, the very s for HDR continue to be quite expensive compared to non-HDR monitors, and the situation around Windows 10 support for it is still a bit of a mess. However, provided you’re willing to fight through all that, then the next step on your path to high dynamic range glory is to get an HDR compatible graphics card. Below, you’ll find a complete list of all the Nvidia and AMD graphics cards that have built-in support for HDR, as well as everything you need to know about

For now though, we'd like to begin a discussion on the state of Chaos Servers. For a time now, Chaos servers have seen less activity compared to our other servers. This deserved some looking into, and after some consideration, the development team has decided to revamp the Chaos Servers. We are looking to shut down the Chaos Servers to introduce Chaos Fury Servers with new settings and rules. The pl
